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.

MOSt duck 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 secondary school principal, 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. onwoo,w,row 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."
