If you've any busy little bees around your house — say from age four to six years — then you know how exciting parties can be, and what a long time it can seem between them. So Mom, you'll be much appreciated if you turn the regular afternoon milk and cookies session into a party occasion February 14.

Then love shall die and marriage cease And nations wane as babes decrease; The wives shall fondle cats and dogs And men live much the same as hogs." I want to take this opportunity to congratulate the South Huron Association for the Mentally Retarded on the choice of a name for their school at Huron Park. "Huron Hope" is a marvellous name and denotes the kind of courage this group has shown in its struggle to provide something more for the mentally handicapped in this district. Enrolment at Huron Hope has now jumped to six and it is still hoped that more parents of mentally retarded children will see the advantages to avail themselves of the facilities for their children. The days are rapidly fleeting when these youngsters are forced to live in the shadows. Many can be trained to become useful citizens fully integrated into society. Huron Hope is a stepping stone to greater happiness for these young boys and girls. If you want to know more about it, get in touch with Ivan Sharrow at Dashwood; Mrs. Lee Dobbs in Exeter; or Mrs. C.L. Smith, also of Exeter. They'll be glad to fill you in on all the details.
