Mrs. Moira Couper is co- ordinator of children's recreation for Huron County, and thus far, she has managed to make contact with all the towns and villages in the county. Most of them have established some kind of area recreation program for the children. Several communities previously have had traditional playground programs, but Mrs. Couper has been working with them to im- prove activities and toencourage greater participation by more children. Mrs. Couper's approach to the programs is to find out what the children would like to do for the summer, and then to see if there are people in the community skilled in that particular area who would be willing to share their knowledge, and help on a short-term basis, Another approach is to seek out the talented people in the area and see if an interesting program can be developed around their skills. "I have found that in Huron County there are many , many people who know a lot about many interesting subjects and are quite pleased to be asked to spend some time with the children. This is especially true of the more senior members of our society," said Mrs. Couper. "They delight in being with out chi Ideen o nd each gains something valuable from the eXperietiee."
