M. Pee' Monday, Linda Fuss was elected pres- ident, Kath Munn, secretary and Ann Funk, press secretary. The club leaders are Mrs. Peck and Mrs. Caldwell. Mrs. Peck with the assistance of Janice Arm- strong and Jackie Simmons made a tourtiere and a grandperes. Both are early French Canadian dishes. They were very delicious. Statistics show that the Huron County Children's Aid Society is fulfilling the new approach to such work that of getting into troubled homes in time to render assistance and prevent those homes from breaking up. This was pointed out to about 225 persons who attended the annual meeting of the CAS in Exeter, Thursday, by Miss Betty C. Graham, director of child welfare for the department of public welfare. Comparing the 1960 figures with those in 1966, Miss Graham noted that they indicated that the CAS staff are getting to families earlier in order to really prevent breakdown before it occurs and avoid the removal of the child- ren from their homes. In 1960, service was given to some 64 families involving 243 children in their own homes, while in 1966 there were a total of 181 families with 547 child- ren. Also in comparison, 22,000 days of care were given to 110 children in 1960, while last year just over 6,000 days of care were provided to some 104 children. "In other words, the children who were admitted were more quickly restored to their parents — 32 as contrasted with 17 in 1960 or were placed on adop- tion more rapidly," Miss Gra- ham stated. Miss Graham reviewed prog- ress of the past year under the new Child Welfare Act, noting that under it the province had assumed complete costs of care for children of unmarried par- The Womens Missionary Soc- iety of Carmel Presbyterian Church met Thursday afternoon Feb. 9 with president Mrs. Earl Campbell in the chair. Mrs. Malcolm Dougall con- ducted the devotional using the theme "Churches in Early Can- ada". Mrs. Archie Hoggarth read scripture passages. The Ladies Aid held a brief business meeting with Mrs. Har- vey Hyde, president, presiding, when purchase of new choir gowns were discussed. LAUDS STAFF Paying tribute to the Huron CAS Board and Staff, Miss Graham noted remarks from her staff were consistently favorable, con- telling such statements as: "this is a kindly, practical service", ''records indicate a warm, friendly, supportive relationship with families", ',a helpful, sensi- tive and realistic approach to their problems". "All these are most commend- able comments," she concluded, adding that the Society had clear- ly benefitted from the "remark- ably close relationship with your county council", Miss Graham advised the group that in 1966 the 53 Children's Aid Societies in Ontario com- pleted adoptions for 6,543 child- ren, the greatest number ever. (Fifty adoptions were completed in Huron.) She touched on the future by saying the trend is to emphasiz- ing family work and counselling, to developing supportive com- munity services, the imaginative use of volunteers and of other potential resources wherever possible. The group was told that home- makers, budgeting and marital counselling, even day care or group sessions for adolescents, or, family life education series for parents are being tried out in some quarters. She urged the CAS to keep ents and shared costs in all other fields. (in 1966 there were 35 unmarried mothers given service in Huron.) Although he dismissed a charge of careless driving against a London man following an area ac- cident, Magistrate Glenn Hays, Q.C., contended that persons should be well aware of winter driving conditions that frequently exist and should govern them- selves accordingly, He also termed "thought pro- Drivers keep good record Area drivers again maintained their good record for the centen- nial year as the Exeter OPP de- tachment investigated Only four accidents during the past week. Total damage was around $1,200 and only one person was injured, and that being of a minor nature. Constable Bill Giassford in- vestigated the first two crashes, On Friday at 7:10 p.m. he was called to the scene of a two-car crash on Highway 4, just south of Exeter. Involved were John Scott Par- ker, RR 1 Luca n, and Cecil Wilson, Edward St., Exeter. The latter had been southbound when he hit heavy drifting snow that caused him to swerve into the northbound parker car. Total damage was listed at $400. Two cars were involved in a crash in Zurich on Sunday at 2:25 a.m, They were driven by James Andrew Rowe, RR 3 Ailsa Craig, and Robert Gordon Mc- Bride, RR I Zurich. Both had been eastbound on Highway 84, when McBride stopped and started to back into a service station. Rowe was un- able to stop and hit the front of the McBride car as it swung around in the highway. Damage was $150. Constable Ed Wilcox was called to the scene of a minor crash on Highway 4 on Monday at 7:15 a.m. It involved a vehicle driven by Everett VanMaanen, Stratton Drive, London. He had been northbound and lost control and ended up in the east ditch. While damage in the crash was only $25, more was caused to the car when a chain on the tow truck pulling him out snapped and crashed into the front of the car. The final accident took place at 6:50 p.m., Monday, when a truck driven by Grant Westlake, Rh 3 Exeter, went out of control after hitting a snow drift on Highway 83, about two miles east of Exeter. The truck went into the south ditch, flipped over and came to rest against a tree. Constable John Wright listed damage at $600. A passenger in the truck, Donald Clarke, RR 3 Zurich, sus- tained a knee injury in the mis- hap. The local OPP detachment officers investigated 17 oc- currences during the past week, issuing 34 warnings under the Highway Traffic Act. Two drivers were charged. One person was charged under the Liquor Control Act and one under the Criminal Code. The officers spent 55 hours on patrol, covering a distance of 1,824 miles. in various fields. Mr. Bell pointed out that such pictures would probably be pro- vided free by those so honored, but quickly added that there may not be enough wall space in the school to facilitate all those who thought they may deserve such recognition.

G. Cochrane that there may be some onus ondriv- ers to test their traction on roads In winter to determine what their position Is in reference to stop- ping their vehicle and control of it. The comments were made in Exeter court, Tuesday, where Magistrate Hays dism les ed a charge of careless driving against Dennis Kirkconneli, St. George Street, London. Kirkconnell was involved in an accident on Highway 4 about one and a half miles north of Exeter on December 23. He rammed into the rear of a car driven by John Strickler, Clinton, which was stopped be- hind another car which In turn was waiting for a milk truck in front of it to make a left turn. All vehicles were northbound. R was snowing at the time of the collision and the pa v em ent was described as slippery. Kirkconnell told the court he did not see the stopped veexcles in front of him as an oncoming lineup of southbound v e hi cles blew snow across into his path and reduced his visibility. One of the vehicles in the lineup was described as a tank truck. Kirkconnell said he had been driving at a speed of 55 m.p.h. and had reduced that to about 50 when the snow being whipped up by the other cars reduced his visibility. He attempted to stop upon seeing the cars ahead, but slid into the rear of the Strickler vehicle and the latter spun a- round to the other side of the road. While Magistrate Hays stated that the degree of negligence shown by the London man was in small measure, he said he was of the opinion that prudence would have called for a considerable reduction in speed when Kirk- connell saw that the snow being whipped up by the oncoming ve- hicles would have curtailed his visibility.

The latter is a new appointment, replacing his father Nelson. The inspectors will receive $1.50 per hour and 10e per mile travelling expenses. In other business, council: Decided to ask the department of highways to pay a subsidy of 50% of the cost of snow removal from the shoulders of highway 83 within the limits of the police village of Dashwood. Received estimates from B. M. Ross of Goderich on the cost of construction of the bridge work that has been proposed for 1967. A new structure to be erected on part of Lot 1, Con. A & 13, just north of highway 81 will cost in the neighbourhood of $14,- 000. A similar bridge at Lot 13, Con. 16 & 17, north of Shipka is expected to cost $13,300. Costs of replacing the deck on the pre- sent bridge at Lot 15 & 16, Con. 5 were estimated at $3,500. Learned that the road program bylaw as submitted by DHO will allow total road spending of $75,- 000, an increase of $5,000 over a year ago. Don't forget that the "At Home" is rapidly approaching. The excitement of waiting for the evening of February 24 is be- coming evident throughout the school. The decorations are being kept a secret 'till the big night! We shall soon have the can- didates for Queen chosen. After this is completed, we'll have a week to campaign. Then elections will be held! The graduates won the basket- ball game, Saturday, by a score of 27-16. Members of the graduate team were Ann Grayer, Pat ilowe, Anne Mickle, Iris Marshall, pat (Marshall) Down and L in d a Hunter-Devar.

The results of Feb.13 girls' basketball games at Mitchell are as follows: Junior Girls: Mitchell 31, South Huron 13; and Senior Girls: Mitchell 35, South Huron 12. Well guys and gals, the spring and summer seasons are nearly upon us. Again our thoughts turn to our wardrobe. I'd like to give you a few ideas on what the colours, fabrics and designs are for Spring '67. The colours are marvellous. The dull greys, blacks and blues are "out". Tangerine, lime green, navy, yellow, aquamarine, hot pink, purple and orange ice are "in". The big news in prints is psychedelic, All colours are combined in wild and wonderful designs. Actually, there are no specific prints. Triangles, cir- cles, animals, flowers and squares are splashed over various materials. The most popular materials are voile, silk and crepe. Suits are serviceable as well as beautiful, For the boys, pants are stove- pipe In materials of viscose- ac et at e, corduroy and wool- rayon. The favourite designs are glen-checks and hopsacking. Shirts are bright, with dots, paisley prints and checks. Again colours are youthful and splashy. Suits favour the military look, AS well as the double-breasted approach. Ties and handkerchiefs match, but may vary from blue and green polka dots to fire-engine red stripes on an orange background, Shoes are predominately in black and brown. Race-track soles are comfortable and fash- ionable. Materials are mainly leather, corduroy and suede. Toes are squared and many more designs are worked in the leather. I hope I've given you a little insight into what to purchase for your spring wardrobe! Next week — an opinion! SH curlers cop honors Representatives of South Huron District High School fared well in the Huron-Perth Conference curling championship, but lost their touch competing in WOSSA playoffs. A -local rink comprising Al and Ron Youngash, Gcrd Green- wood and Bill Malone had little trouble copping the H-P title in Wingham a couple of weeks ago. The four SH youngsters captured three straight games, the final by an 11-2 count over Central Huron of Clinton to ad- vance to further competition. At Sarnia over the weekend in WOSSA play, the boys ran into tough luck and were bounced in two straight games in a double knockout elimination round, In each of their losses, the games were decided on the last rocks thrown. They lost to For- est 4-3 in the tourney opener and dropped another squeaker to Ing- ersoll 6-5 in the second round. A girls rink from South Huron participated in a part of the Huron-Perth tourney in Wing- ham. The local foursome includ- ing Barbara Manley, TrudyStov- er, Carol Foster and Elizabeth Mickle split a pair of games, but were unable to continue be- cause of exams. In twenty years Canada has gained 2.5 million immigrants, but lost one million emigrants, Winter brings hazards Be prepared, court urges the challenge of social work as a career in front of young peo- ple. Concluding her speech she re- marked: "With increased staff and with more training oppor- tunities available, we are con- fident that your Society will con- tinue to provide a direct service to a sizeable number of the citiz- ens of Huron, and with the con- tinuing calibre of leadership in both board of directors and county personnel, the future looks par- ticularly promising for the level of service in the field of child welfare in this community." PICK SLATE In an election of officers, the slate as proposed by the nomin- ating committee was approved. Ivan Haskins, Gorrie, is the new president and Mrs. Howard Klumpp, Dashwood, is vice-pre- sident. Trip to Expo -- Continued from front page that it was tentatively planned for the last two days of the Easter vacation week and the first two days of the next week. On this basis, students would only be away from regular classes for two days. In addition to these trips, the board learned the grade 13 stu- dents planned their annual Easter pilgrimage to New York. Again, this is in no way subsidized by the 'board. SEVERAL PROJECTS The trips to Expo and Quebec were two of the projects listed by Mr. Palmer as suggestions for marking Canada's centennial. The school has already under- taken the framing of six pictures of the Fathers of Confederation and approval was given by the board for an expenditure of up to $200 for the purchase of other suitable historical portraits. The project received enthusi- astic endorsement from E. D. Bell, who reported he put a great deal of stress on recording Ca- nadian history. "You can't do too much of this," he said, adding that Cana- dians suffer from a complete lack of sense of their history. Board chairman Ken Johns not- ed that perhaps there should be some consideration given to hanging the portraits of grad- uates who have gone on to excel
