"Handsome and lively"
Ross is 16 months old, a sturdy, well-developed, healthy
boy with big blue eyes, very blonde hair, and clear, fair
skin.
A lively youngster, he likes rough games — especially
wrestling with a two-year-old: He enjoys books and televi-
sion, and though he is a very active child he does like to
be cuddled.
As a younger baby, Ross had. his moments of being irrit-
able and difficult, but he is getting over that and is usually
sociable and happy. Ile is developing, normally now, but
there is a chance he may have learning problems when• he
reaches school.
This dear little fellow needs loving parents who are easy-
going, but able to be firm when necessary, and whose
academic expectations are not too high. To inquire about
adopting Ross, please write to Today's Child, Department
of Social and Family Services, Parliament Buildings, To-
ronto 182.
For general adoption information, ask your Children's
Aid Society.

hunters are courteous, sensible
people, but you will always find
the odd one who wants to,take a
crack at anything that appears in
the sky and in his eagerness to
bag game forgets about the
rights of others and his own
safety. Here are a few facts of
life for duck hunters from the
Ontario Safety League:
It is against the law to
transport a loaded firearm in a
motor vehicle or a power boat.
A boat is required to be securely
anchored in a blind before
shooting commences.
Hunters in a blind should sit
close enough together when
shooting in pairs to prevent
either hunter from getting in
front of the other's gun muzzle.
Then restrict your field tif fire,
never overlap your partner's by
more than a 45 degree angle
from the centre line of the blind.
When not shooting, bw sure
your gun is in a safe position
where movement of the boat or
a dog will not cause it to fall
down and discharge. And always
remember the first precept of
gun safety, never alldw the
muzzle of your gun to point at
anything you do not want to
kill.
Shoot your own birds. When
hunting in pairs and a flight of
ducks approach from the right,
the hunter on the right should
take the rear of the flock and
the hunter on the left should
take the head. When the flight
approaches from the left, this
procedure should be reversed, of
course.
The Ontario Safety League
reminds hunters that no amount
of game is worth a single
moment of human suffering.
Huron County Elementary
and Secondary School Principals
focussed their attention on the
topics of supervision and
accountability during a two-day
Seminar recently. The Seminar
began Thursday Sept. 16 after
school and continued until
Saturday noon.
Director of Education, John
Cochrane, -the four
Superintendents, Jim Coulter,
Harold Knisley, Frank Madill
and Don Kenwell joined the
principals as active participants
in the workshop. Mrs. Marion
Zinn represented the board
during the Seminar and other
board members were present for
sessions that were of special
interest to them.
Special speakers and group
leaders during the Seminar were
Don Graham, formerly the
director of Education for Forest
Hill Village and now with the
Ontario Institute for Studies in
Education in Toronto, Bob
Stinson and Sam McKeown from
the Regional Development
Office in London, and Dr.
George Delgrosso, the President
of Lambton College in Sarnia.
The conference was an
opportunity for the county
principals to explore two
opposing views in the area of
supervision of teachers and
administration of school policy.
Thursday evening the group
was shown a film about a school
where there were serious staff
management problems.
Discussion groups containing
elementary principals, a

Spoons Are For Fishing
Anglers who fish with
spoons have fought long and
hard to win recognition a-
mong fly fishermen and light
tackle enthusiasts. An indica-
tion of the problems spoon
fishermen faced is seen in a
brief discussion of the rela-
tive merits of fly fishing and
bait fishing taken from a book
published in 1897. The author
concluded ". . . spurning al-
ways the spoon, for it is as
barbarous to kill a trout so, as
to eat him with one . . ."
Now those are stiff fighting
words to a dedicated spoon
angler. .„ .
Spoon enthusiasts weren't
discouraged by such talk,
however, and the develop-
ment of spoons as effective
fish catchers went ahead. To-
day, they are popular lures,
and Red Fisher of the fishing
department at Mercury out-
boards has found that almost
every angler's tackle box con-
tains several spoons.
Contributing to their in-
creased popularity has been
the development of lighter,
more dependable fishing
tackle.
Rods have changed a lot
since the early days of trolling
spoons for trout, muskie and
bass. Old-time trolling rods
tended to be thick and had lit-
tle action. The only way you
could tell when a fish hit was
to note the added weight.
Then you hauled back to set
the hook, and started crank-
ing the reel. Modern rods are
light in both weight and ac-
tion, and you immediately feel
the fish's strike.
Monofilament lines have
added to the enjoyment of
spoon fishing. And, with the
recent development of new
heavy-test lines that have less
diameter than present mono-
filament, spoon trolling will
become even more fun.
Old-time trolling reels were
big and heavy. If the reel had
a drag mechanism, it usually
didn't work. And level wind-
ing was done by working the
line with your thumb. Today,
improved drags, lightweight
metals and level wind mech-
anisms have all helped bring
trolling reels out of the dark
ages.
The fishing gang at Mer-
cury suggests you check mit
the new equipment at your
favorite tackle shop.
principal of a Retarded
Children's School and a
superintendent or a board
member considered the problem
and possible solutions in terms
of our present board policies.
Friday two alternatives were
presented and discussed. A
position paper on supervision
stressed working with groups of
teachers to provide the best
possible variety of learning
experiences for pupils. During
the afternoon Dr. Delgrosso
outlined a program budget
system which stressed the need
for program evaluation to
determine the allocation of
funds.
The Friday evening and
Saturday morning sessions
provided opportunities for ail
principals to air and share their
problems as well as building
some guidelines for problem
solving. A proposed program of
services was outline by
newly-appointed Huron County
psychologist, Bill Carter.
All participants in the
conference agreed that the
immediate results would be
improved communication among
the county schools and the
various levels of administration.

AMWATAT
MAT
Organized just a few months
ago and boasting a membership
of only seven local young ladies,
the Clinton Chapter (Zeta
Omega) of Beta Sigma Phi
International Sorority has
volunteered to sponsor the
annual campaign for the local
Branch of The Canadian
Arthritis and Rheumatism
Society as its first "community
service" project,
President of the local
Sorority Chapter is Mrs. Bruce
Lockhart and Mrs. Harvey Carter
is Chairman of the Service
Committee.
"Following a thorough review
of the Arthritis Society's
program and its many direct
benefits to our citizens afflicted
with this painful crippling
disease we were astounded to
learn that this community's
support of the Arthritis Control
program in the past few years
has averaged less than six cents
per capita, " said Mrs. Carter.
"We feel our efforts will
contribute to ensuring a
and expanded continuance
public health service to the
community."
Assisted by interested friends
and with the co-operation of
local youth organizations,
members of the Sorority have
planned a door-to-door canvass
of Clinton on Monday next,
October 4. "We do hope our
citizens will help us to help the
Arthritis Society in its flight to
abolish the nation's most critical
health problem and in the
meantime to improve delivery
of health care services for
arthritis Patients," Mrs. Carter
added,
Everyone knows someone
with arthritis. The cold facts are:
one and a half million Canadians
suffer from the disease — equal
to 1/8 of Canada's labour force;
over 300,000 are disabled by
arthritis — nearly one hundred
times the population of Clinton;
ten million work days are lost
each year representing one
hundred million dollars in lost
wages annually — five dollars for
every man, woman and child in
Canada.
These facts, dramatic as they
are, may still be mere statistics
to most Canadians. To the many
thousands who suffer from the
rheumatic diseases they mean a
great deal more. They represent
persistent pain, problems in
family relationships, social
handicaps, unemployment, cost
of medications, and severe
inconvenience in self-care.
Despite the belief that
nothing can be done for
arthritis, the Society now
proclaims that 'In Canada we are
on the threshold of the best
arthritis control program in the
world." A treatment program
has been developed which can
prevent serious disability in four
out of five patients suffering
from rheumatoid arthritis.
In addition to professional
care of home-bound arthritics in
Clinton and district, the core of
the Arthritis Society's entire
program is the Rheumatic
Disease Units located in teaching
hospitals , of medical schools.
One well Unit is associated with
the School of Medicine of the
University of Western Ontario
in London, It is currently
housed at Westminster Hospital
but will be moved in 1972 to
larger and more modern
accommodation in the new
University Hospital now under
construction on UWO campus.
Since the opening of the
London-based Unit in 1968
several arthritis sufferers from
this area have benefitted from its
specialized rehabilitation
facilities, and at no cost to the
patient.
Speaking of having the
support of Beta Sigma Phi's
Clinton Chapter in this year's
campaign, Jos. I. Dolan,
Regional Representative of the
Arthritis Society from London,
said — "We are honoured and
extremely grateful to have the
co-operation of this fledging
group of young ladies. The
Society has been priviledged to
have the dedicated interest and
support of Beta Sigma Phi
Chapters in British Columbia for
over 15 years and more recently
the assistance of the Exeter
(Ontario) Chapter. We wish the
newly formed Zeta Omega
Chapter every success in its
philanthropic endeavours in the
years ahead. On its behalf we
invite the co-operation of
Clinton citizens by supporting
their first community service
project in being as generous as
circumstances will permit when
the canvasser calls on Monday
evening next."
