Finish course
with skits, dems
Achievement Day for 4-H
homemaking clubs in the South
Huron District was staged in
Dashwood Saturday.
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
