Urges 'pilot' projects for .retorded. pupils "Pilot" projects for care and training of retarded children after leaving their special schools may be formed in the littron,l3ruce area, Rev. Canon Kenneth TaYlor indicated in ac- cepting from Goderich Rotary Club a cheque for $900 toward the work for retarded children, 'I think we should in Goderich set up a pilot project," said Canon Taylor, who IS chairman for this area. "Walkerton may do the same, I think we should have something that will com- bine the facilities of a sheltered workshop, social and recrea- tienal opportunities and probab- ly some continued educational work, perhaps manual training or further actual study work, "At annual meetings of the Ontario and Canadian Associa- tions in Vancouver, Winnipeg and Halifax this topic of adult services came up: the problem has become acute. In big cities they have made quite a few at- tempts to set up sheltered work- shops, and they are successful up to a point, but the idea of setting up a workshop alone is not feasible in this or smaller communities. "To set up some kind of com- bination, under careful supervi- sion, would mean that graduates of our schools would have a sort of clubhouse to go to, and there are commercial firms that can turn over certain work, and it would be something for the chil- dren to do. 'That sort of facility in any community is feasible if we set our minds to it, and with it there must be continued educa- tion of the public so they will recognize that the retarded per- son has a rightful place in the community, the same as any normal person. The schools may not get larger, but the, number of grad- -mates will keep piling up. Ten years from now we will proba- bly leave In this community oult rtartiees past school age. We must work out a program to take care of the mentally retarded from the cradle to the grave.

Approve .compromise over CAS .directorate GODERICH County council at September session moved for greater re- presentation on the Children's Aid board, the wardens and personnel committee ratio in- mending that members of the- health unit board be Members thereof, ; without increasing, the number of directors." This was sent on to the C.A.S. Or consi- deration. The result has been a com- promise, ; not exactly what the committee asked for," as chairman A. D, Smith explained,. Through secretary John G. Berry, the CAS Board consents to three additional members being appointed when ',Wail- cies occur on the.board, " These representatives are to be cho- sen by the nominating commit- tee of the CAS board r from the county council members as a whole, and will be subject to the usual vote at the annual meet- ing." Furthermore, the plan is to run for two years before becom- ing final practice. Also, "in the event the members from council do not comply with the rules and regulations of the society they will be treated as any other member, and also of course will receive no commit- tee pay, but only mileage to the meetings." Chairman Smith, reeve of Turnberry, called it a •sensible conclusion," "We have reached acompro- mise on the situation," he said, "and they are going to choose the members of council to re- present ..us, so we nave Made some headway. We bnctintendect to have the health committee- take this over, but the CAS had. some doatits, It has been a nice thing that we were able to do that without any aerimonimis debate„." The 'compromise" report was carried. Of 87 children made perma- nent wards of the Children's Aid Society in Huron this year, only one came into care because of his own delinquency, Eleven had lost one parent, three had lost both. At least 18 came from broken homes, and in at least 16 cases one cause for the breakup was drinking. These facts were laid before county council in the report of Miss Clare McGowan, local di- rector, who on this occasion Stressed adoption problems. "All but five of these chil, dren," she said, ',were over two years old when admitted to care and the oldest was 15. The youngest permanent ward we now have who is not on adoption is seven, and we still hope he may be adopted. The next young- est is 11, "We do not kno.w of anyone who will adopt these older ones, all of whom have problems of various degrees of seriousness due to no fault of their own. So these children, who are the mast damaged and who greatly need the security of permanent homes, seem destined to never have them. "Our foster families are really exceptional. No one else knows what patient iiderstaad- ing and tireless effort goes into this work, At the board meeting last week it was agreed thatour boarding rate should be $1.25 per day instead of $1 and with more difficult children we have authority to pay up to $2, This does not interfere with the extra $10 per month for problem' chil- dren. The Ontario Training School advertises that they pay $58 per month and provide ex- tensive fringe benefits. "Many wives who have spare time and want to increase the family income get jobs outside the home, This may bp one reason It is so difficult to get enough foster homes. Another reason, 1 believe, is the type of child now coming Into care. Aside from the adoptable babies, we very rarely have a curly-haired, blue-eyed girl or a handsome, clever little boy for whom to find a home, ''if such do come into our care, they are apt to be full of problems. These children have missed out on love, intelligent training, security and care. Usually they have few clothes fit to wear, and badly need medi- cal and dental care. Some can't remember ever having been to church or Sunday school, do not know a prayer or Bible story unless they have learned them at school, All these are things we try to give them." "We are very fortunate in Huron," said Warden Forbes, "to have a director such as Miss McGowan," The report of the wardens and personnel committee, car-. ried on Tuesday, contained a recommendation that in the matter of establishing a home- makers' service in the county no action be taken at the present time. The committee, of whiCh Reeve A. D. Smith of Turnberry is chairman, recommended that the authority under the munici- pal act, given local municipali- ties to pass bylaws regulating the running at large of animals other than dogs, be extended to include counties. "In our township we do have complaints about cattle running on the roads," said Warden Forbes. "We find it difficult to do anything about it, on ac- count of the bylaws. This might be an improvement." Mr. Berry: "The legislation does not give the authority we need." Reeve Elgin Thompson, Tu. ckersmith: "When air force personnel are transferred they leave dogs out in the country to find a home, and molesting gardens and flowers." Reeve Clifford Dunbar, Grey; "The livestock protection act gives anyone authority to des- troy dogs preying on his pro- perty." By MRS. WM. WALTERS Intended for last week. Mrs. Wm.
