McGillivray school tour By KATHY DeJONG February 18, 33 tired but satisfied Grade VIII pupils from McGillivray central school returned from their annual school trip, The excursion this year was a two day stay in Toronto accompanied by principal, Mrs. Hamilton and Grade VI teacher, E. Brewer. At the outset of the journey there were fears that the unpredictable weather would play havoc and prevent the students catching the 7:33 a.m. train at Strathroy, bound for Toronto. The fears proved to be unnecessary, however, as they arrived safely in Toronto only a few minutes behind schedule, The King Edward Hotel served as an ideal dumping place for heavy luggage before a fascinating and educational tour of the McLaughlin planetorium and the parliament buildings took place. That night a hockey game between the Toronto Maple Leafs and the Pittsburgh Penguins was watched at Maple Leaf Gardens. The following day was hectic The Ontario Science Centre was explored and the 5:10 p.m. train for Strathroy boarded. During the unforgettable trip only one mishap occurred. As we were about to board the subway bound for the planetorium, it was discovered that a girl was missing. After ten minutes elapsed Mr. Brewer In his address to members of the Huron County Children's Aid board of directors at the annual meeting in Goderich Bruce Heath, acting local director talked about the "rather dubious conclusions reached" which affected the Children's Aid in the province following the Urwick-Currie and Mullen's Reports. "If we acknowledge a need to re-examine our obligations to the taxpayer," said Heath, "in like manner we shall have to re-examine our duties to the children in care and families we serve, and the priorities needed to enhance our services and redeem our failures." "And in the long run whether we keep to a policy or practicality and even minimum feasibility or not, it is going to cost money, continued Heath. "To those who might cling to a conception of absolute local autonomy, some of this may sound like heresy or the jitters of a new local director. I can assure you it is neither." "I would suggest Children's Aid Societies have alternately been at their worst and their most sterile when they neglected their trusts t& are and criticize," Heath pointed out, "and lost touch with both their clients and supporters. One might suggest further that they would be at their next worst if overtly •intimidated or directed by agencies or authorities external to themselves. And this latter course of action could follow if we listen to the ramblings of some professional technocrats on one hand, or if the community adopts a "let George do it" attitude on the other hand; with George becoming the provincial or federal government in too many cases in recent years." Heath told the meeting 1971 would find the CAS workers and board asking CAS helpers to help even more in a plan to provide "as excellent a service as possible," found the lost girl who had not panicked, yet. All's well that ends well and so ended the trip. Perhaps a little exhausting as might be expected but very enjoyable for all concerned.

He also predicted that a Foster Parents' Association would likely be formed during 1971 "so that we can make stronger the partnership on behalf of the children in care". Health also praised Miss Clare McGowan for the part she played in CAS work in Huron County. "She has left a very generous legacy of service to the children and families of this county for which I would count it fortunate if I can complement in equal fashion in the years to come," said Heath. President C. W. Hanna extended a "special warm and heartfelt thanks to our foster parents and receiving home parents who generously open their hearts and doors to the children needing help in our community". Mr. Hanna also thanked all the volunteers in the county who gave of time and energy in so many ways.
