However, she finished the ride without mishap on her trusty little ppny.

The foregoing bit of council history is one of many, equally interesting in a brochure, uron County Administra.- tlen”, prepared by County Clerk. John G. Berry with co-operation of departmental officials. Primarily, it presents the story of Huron courthouse and the functioas of the offices con, tained therein, as well as county organizations elsewhere, such as the registry office, Huron- view, the museum, jail and Emergency Measures pffice. One reason for production of the 25-page bpoklet is to inform students, particularly pf grades seven and eight, who are often required to submit essays on one feature or another of county administration. There is much, however, of interest to adult citizens. Here is related the ancient British tradition back of the office, duties and garb of sheriff. Jurisdiction of the various courts is outlined, and an ad- equate description is given of the Health Unit's work and the activities of the Children's Aid Society and Library Co-opera- tive. Routine pf the clerk and his deputy in preparing for the five sessions a year of county coun- cil is interestingly described. A little known fact is that the GODEBICH When Huron county was in- ocrPerated 1r 1841, courts were held in the jail, first government building in the Huron District, comprising then the present counties of Mire; Bruce and Perth.

The fourth argument may well be true, but it really isn't a very good argument. People must use intelligence in their use of the private and public recreational, Oultnr al and social services provided. People don't really mean there are too many activities. What they really mean is that they thentselVet are overly ac.. tive and engaged in'too Many thingS. To ConclUde, a recreation program under a capable di- rector, provides services 'e$.4 tentiai in an age of increasing leisure. It provides athletic activity and instruction for many who Would otherwise not participate: It provides facilities which otherwise World hot be pro.4 vided. It provides iristrtiction in Matittalimotet% cultural and social skills and it gives an opportunity to those with lea& ership ability to elierciSe that ability., But Most of a.% it prOVideS anitikeinerit, entertainment and activity for lititiclredS of people.
