Wilfred Jarvis, avan Presbyterian Church, Exeter. arroll, director of the Goderich Workshop or Retarded Adults and Elmer Bell Q.C. Exeter lawyer. However, it was clear that urther names may be added to this list as the eed arises, ' The committee was commissioned to stablish a proposal for the next meeting, ebruary 15, with regard to the details urrounding the establishment of a workshop, ne of the main priorities will be to find an ctivity or activities which may be carried on t the proposed workshop to keep the trainees rnployed. Decision was also reached for the ornmittee to draft a letter for Queen's Park advising government of the intention to establish a regional sheltered workshop here, Although the South Huron group came to the meeting ready to begin planning for the fund raising campaign, Paul Carroll outlined his belief for the importance of proper "spade work" prior to going to the people for money. He said awes necessary for both Associations to know where the workshop would be built, how large it would be, how many people it wouldaccommodatd, how it would operate, for what purpose it would operate etc. etc. "All of us must be telling all of the people in Association had only taken an option on it which runs out April 3. If the transaction is completed, $1,000 would be forthcoming from the Association to Carman Roweliffe, Seaforth, on April 3 with the remainder due July 4. The price of the land was questioned by some members who felt that land values in that area were not that high. However, the members of the land-finding committee agreed the site was ideal and the price of the 100-acre piece of property was not out of line. Only about 20 acres is required for the workshop complex, it was learned, The remaining20 acres could easily be rented at $25 an acre for annual income, or sold at $300 an acre which would • make the workshop property "a real bargain." Antoine "Red Garon, president of the Clinton Lions Club and also a PUC employee saw no problems in providing town water for the workShop. He said the town water is presently piped to the main gates of the base, just across the road from the proposed site of the workshop. He said that while the workshop could not purchase water from John van Gasbel who is the new owner of the base complex, it could purchase the water directly from the Town of Clinton because of its pending classification as a government-approved institution. Reeve Elgin Thompson, Tuckersmith, said that things are still "up in the air as far as the base is concerned" but he predicted some clarification on many matters in a few weeks. With regard to sewage, advice was for the proposed workshop to supply its own system for the time being, and not to depend upon tieing into the sewage system at the base. There is still no exact figures concerning the number of retarded adults who would probably enter the workshop when it is built, but Mrs, Alma Godbolt, Exeter, and Mrs. Betty Reich Goderich, are working on an accurate estimate in time for the next meeting, One of the most expensive parts of the operational expenses, it was shown, would be the transportation of the trainees to the workshop. John Broadfoot, vice-chairman of the Huron County Board of Education, was asked if the school board would co-operate in supplying bus service to the workshop, Broadfoot said that while he was not appearing at the meeting in any official capacity, he was sympathetic to the workshop concept and if requested to do so, would certainly bring the matter to the board's attention for study. Warden Elmer Hayter, Stanley Township, also attended the meeting and promised the county's interest when the project is far enough advanced to show more definite proposals. There was further discussion concerning the work projects to be carried on at the workshop, but there were no definite decisions reached, Suggestions ranged from raising geese to making tourist souvenirs. The target date for the campaign to. raise funds for the project is early May. The Flowers of Hope campaign will be a separate drive because the money realized from that will be used to help out in the schools for retarded youngsters and their special projects. we asked for—what we Could afford to mech. Now we can build less than half what we know is deficient." Hritnell's yearend report from 1971 showed at $8,337,80 deficit in county funds, "It should be noted that our county fund deficit of 1.1 percent was encountered mainly due to the high winter control costs for 1971 and because our bridge work which is subsidized at 80 percent, was completed under the estimates. This means that a higher percentage of the total budget was paid by county funds in order to utilize our full allotment of Department of Transportation and Communications subsidy. It should also be noted that the County Roads Department had a surplus of county funds in excess of $10,000 in 1970," he said. Throughout 1971, $447,209.60 was spent on road construction; $194,840,76 on bridge construction; $528,524.03 on road maintenance; and $2,822,41 on bridge maintenance. Overall expenditure for roads in Huron County amounted to $1,901,870.63 the 1971. "Our grants are being cut but the regional government grants are being increased," advised Bill Elston, reeve of Morris Township. Reeve Elston speculated that the provincial government may be attempting to make the regional concept more attractive to municipalities and counties by dangling favorable grant structures as a reward. He said that much the same tactic had been employed by government to encourage county school boards. County Council approved an annual $500 increase(2.4 percent) for Engineer Britnell. It was also pointed out that the county vehicle supplied to Britnell for business and personal use will now be regarded as an asset under the new income tax regulations and it was estimated that Britnell would pay an additional $500 per annum for income tax because of it. It was Reeve Hugh Flynn who questioned council concerning Britnell's car privileges, It was learned that the county road engineer in Huron has had a new car about every three years since 1920, "It is a county policy which I didn't know about until I became a member of the road committed," admitted Bill Elston. All hourly rated county road employees will receive an additional 20 cents per hour (7.5 percent) this year, and the salaried foremen have been granted an increase of $500 per annum (six percent). all of the areas the same things," stated Carroll. Carroll, said there were strict guidelines set out by government which must be met before the project would receive government's financial support, He insisted there must be a "consolidation of various ideas" and a "definition of the project" before funds could be solicited, A report on lend and services showed the greatest amount of conflict. Tom Consitt, a member of the Goderich Asso'ciation who served on the land-finding committee, reviewed the steps which led to taking an option on the property adjacent to former CFB Clinton. It was pointed out that the newspapers had reported incorrectly that the property had Also named was an advisory committee ebeenpurchased, Mr. Consitt said the price of omprising two persons initially, Mrs. Eveelyrf the property is $45,000 but he added that the Carroll heads committee for Retarded dults Workshop campaign Road Budget Continued from.

JENE MILLER One of the first things which must go if the Church is to be renewed for effective mission into the future is the old concept of "self-denial". Originally, the practice of self- denial was a remembrance of the customs of sacrificial offerings.. It came from the desires of people to discipline themselves for life and to develop self-control. It expressed a need for penance for Wrongdoings against Life. "Giving up something" for Lent was one of the most common of the Church's structures to encourage self-control. Public restrictions on eating meats other than fish also served as a witness by individuals to their loyalty to God. However, the results of such practices were basically negative, They fostered a neurotic preoccupation with guilt and fear of a vengeful God, Extremes of flagellation were practiced by some emotionally sick people to placate their MRS. ANNIE VARCOE Mrs. Annie Varcoe of Huronview, Clinton died at her home on Jan. 24, 1972. She was 88 years of age. The former Annie Rathwell, she was the daughter of Edward Rathwell and Jemima Thompson and was born on the Bayfield conebesioneleGo'deride Townehee otiiNov: 28, 1883. ' ' " She obtained her early schooling at SS No. 10, Goderich Township, She married the late Howard Varcoe and was employed by the T. Eaton Company in Toronto and later in Winnipeg.' About 10 years ago she came to distruct of God's love. The pride of self-atonement developed, in which Christians thought they were more Holy (an attribute restricted in Scripture solely to God) because they foreswore some pleasure. Perhaps worst of the effects of "self-denial" is self-,abnegation and self-deprecation in which the individual comes to hate his own God-given drives and refuses to celebrate the promised Life Abundant. What is needed is an emphasis on Self-affirmation. The difference is that the individual comes to realize that it is in his capacity to choose that his self- ness is actualized and fulfilled, Here is the power of proclaiming the significance and beauty of a committed life. In self-Affirmation, the control is in Missional Responsibility, whereby the individual undertakes to live out a witness in service and love in Jesus' name, not his own. It is in doing something creative in the name of Love that a persondeclares that he is loved, and therefore he can love, Erich Fromm put it, "A man cannot love his brOther until he first loves God",That is, he does not relate to fulfill some deficiency in his own character, but he relates in compassion and concern for another. It is in the freedom to serve and the emotional maturity that does not need proofs of pride that a person most fully lives to the glory of God. OPTOMETRY J.
