An auditorium Filled with enthusiastic young ladies, proud leaders and beaming mothers was the reward of another homemaking course successfully completed. The topic had been "Meat on the Menu" and the girls had learned all about the various cuts of meat as well as delicious ways to prepare them for the family. Of special interest to many were the meat-stretching casseroles on display along with recipe books and other information. During the afternoon program, each club presented a skit or a demonstration concerning the things members had learned from the course. Five young women were presented with their provincial honor awards and 11 received county honor awards. All are pictured on this page. Home economist Susan Heard co-ordinated the affair. With SHIRLEY J. KELLER I had an interesting Saturday. During the morning, I was at James Street United Church where there was a meeting of Region 5 of the Ontario Association for the Mentally Retarded with the South Huron organization as host. As always I was impressed with the continued concern of many adults throughout the area. There were lots of familiar faces at the day-long meeting and their prime thoughts were for the mentally retarded that live in Region 5. But most of all I was thrilled (there is no other word) at the interest among teenagers for the mentally retarded. All forenoon these youngsters sat in discussion of what they could do to aid the mentally retarded in their districts. The Walkerton group had charge of the meeting, likely because Walkerton has the most active young people's organization working in Region 5 with the mentally retarded. And they do a tremendous job, too. The kids I spoke to told me they organize parties for mentally retarded children, act as big brothers and big sisters in taking these children for walks and entertaining them to give the parents a short break, and this summer, they are planning playground activities for the retarded. The speaker for the day was Mrs. Constance Hawley, Toronto. Mrs. Hawley held the younger group enthralled during the morning session with her account of how she became involved in working with the mentally retarded. She told how she was working in a small BC town and was asked to assist in the work to aid the mentally retarded. The invitation came, she said, because she had typing experience. At the first meeting she was appointed vice-president and when the president quit shortly after, she became president. She had never seen a retarded child until that time but she quickly realized there was a need among the community's retarded. She related her experiences at an institution for the mentally retarded in the year 1961. She told how the mentally retarded kiddies sat all day long on wooden benches in a large room guarded by a couple of nurses. Other than the times when the nurses had to use re'straints on the youngsters or clean them up after a toilet accident or accompany them to dinner, the kids just sat there, day in and day out. When they went for walks they were tied together with sheets. When they were put outside to play, they were tied to the fence posts with sheets. Their parents never saw them again from the moment they were admitted. Things aren't like that now, Mrs. Hawley told the group, thanks to parent organizations like the South Huron Association and teenagers who care. And I wasn't the only one who was impressed with what these teenagers were attempting to do for the retarded. Exeter Reeve Derry Boyle termed it a "shock" to see so many teenagers assembled in an effort to help those less fortunate than themselves. As Derry put it, "This gives me a big lifts.." * I received a letter this week from Mrs. Ruth M. Knapp, nutrition lecturer at the Centralia College of Agricultural Technology, She was reporting to me concerning the nutritional study year,d ne at Huron Park earlier this In part the letter read: "When the data collected was analysed It became evident that there were few differences between the urban homemaker and the rural homemaker.
