Family counselling service slow to get off ground Phone 235-0212 Maple Leaf Thrifty The fifth Heywood clan reunion was held Saturday at Riverview Park with 116 present. President Eldon Heywood extended a welcome to all and expressed appreciation for a large attendance. A special welcome was extended to those attending for the first time. The following officers were elected for 1974: honorary presidents, Mr. and Mrs. Gordon Heywood, Mr. and Mrs, Ross Armstrong, Mr. and Mrs. Clifford Heywood, Mr. and Mrs. Wm. J. Heywood and Mr. and Mrs. Eldon Heywood; presidents, Mr, and Mrs. Lance Battersby; vice presidents, Mr. and Mrs. Laverne Heywood; secretary, Mrs. David Blackwell; program committee, Bob and Danny Heywood, sports committee, Mr, and Mrs. Lester Heywood and Mr. and Mrs. Gary Heywood. An interesting sports program was convened by Mr. and Mrs, Dave Goddard and Mr. and Mrs. Raymond Heywood with the following winners: 3-5 year race, Stephen Gould, Sherry Cottle and Sandra Cottle; 6-9 year race, Dennis Campbell, Karen Cottle, and Jeff Heywood; 9-12 year race, Sandra Heywood, Terry Heywood and Todd Heywood; ladies kick the slipper, Judy Heywood; mens kick the slipper, Lester Heywood; balloon throw, accent of the Ottawa Valley, not to mention how others would categorize our manner of speech, all mingled together to watch the pageantry and absolute precision of the Changing of the Guards. But in fact, the area around the hill was the only place in the city where there was a conglomeration of people. There is so much to do and so much to see in and around that city, and so many places in which to do and see it, that one never feels hemmed in by the crowds. I think this is the thing that impressed me most about Ottawa. It is really a city built for people, and everything is so accessible. For example, there are acres and acres of parkland following the Ottawa River and Rideau Canal throughout the city. Everywhere we turned there were families picnicing, just out walking, lounging in the sun or bicycling. But there is so much space to do all these things. I thought of Grand Bend or Wasaga Beach on a similar Sunday afternoon and shuddered at the comparison. And speaking of bicycles, Ottawa, and the whole tourist region around the capital city has come up with a solution to solve the problem of bicycle safety and enjoyment on the -road. They have constructed hundreds of miles of paved bicycle paths. Some follow major thoroughfares making it easy and safe for suburbanites to ride to work in the downtown areas. Others follow a more scenic route through the city and all are wide enough to allow two bikes to be comfortably ridden abreast. These bicycle paths are even throughout the beautiful Gatineau Hills of Quebec. And to top it all off, the city of Ottawa itself even closes a few of its main roads and parkways from 8 a.m. to 1 p,m. every Sunday and the bike riders take over the road, The administrators of a lot of towns and cities could learn a good lesson from Ottawa and make their communities more people-oriented. When every day of a holiday is a highlight, it is difficult to choose one thing or another as "the" high point. But among other Thomas and Lilla Heywood; orange relay, Dorothy Brintnell's team; oldest relative present, Gordon Heywood; youngest Shawn Heywood; coming the greatest distance, Mr. and Mrs. Don Brintnell, Dartmouth, Nova Scotia. Lilla Heywood had on display the family coat of arms and distributed the family historiography. These aroused much interest, A delightful program was presented by Bob and Danny Heywood which included all joining in singing several songs composed by Earl Heywood. Following the program, supper was served. Mr. and Mrs. Gordon Heywood cut a decorated cake in honor of their 57th wedding an- niversary which was on Friday. Many remained to visit. CARE IN THE HOME COURSES things, we sat in on a session of the House of Commons; stood within five feet of the Prime Minister (my girlfriend didn't recognize him!) went swimming to Constance Bay; went to a ballet (my first, and I thoroughly enjoyed it); had dinner at La Ferme Columbia, an exclusive restaurant in the original 18th century home of the founder of Hull; took a boat ride down the Rideau Canal; visited the National Art Gallery of Canada; and toured the grounds and former summer residence of Prime Minister MacKenzie King. + + + I returned from my holidays just two days before Mom and Dad got home from the east coast; and they were at home only three days before my sister and two girl friends left to drive to Vancouver and back. Not bad, eh for a family whose previous 'real" vacation was limited to one trip to Sault Ste Marie? We are now thinking of establishing our own private tourist bureau. As far as Mom and Dad's holiday went, they had a great time, seeing lots of things and for Dad, renewing an acquaintance with a man he hasn't seen or heard from since they were in the Air Force together during the second world war. The only complaint my mother had concerned an incident in Halifax. They stopped at a garage to ask directions and the garageman told her that a bear had been reported in the area. She shut herself up in the tent for the rest of the evening. As far as Jane goes, she should have, at the very least, an in- teresting holiday. The three girls are camping on their trip out west and back (in a pup tent which they learned to assemble just the day before they left.) None of them has taken a trip of this magnitude before, but I think Mom was more worried about it than they were. Her list of in- structions was even longer than Jane's list of people to whom she has to send post-cards. And just so I won't 'give the impression that my brother Jim is being left out of all these holiday plans, he and his whole baseball team are driving to Montreal for the weekend to see the sites and take in an Expo baseball game. ,So if our family was to write a book about the summer of '73 it would have to be entitled, "What we did in our summer holidays" OR "What one family was afraid to ask about travelling coast to coast, but finally found out, separately!" qazamteezo leee#4 Members of the Clinton Christian Reformed Church formed a choir for the Sunday evening song service led by Aire Van Der Ende with devotions by Rev. Beukema. A total of 29 residents were honored Wednesday at the July birthday party sponsored by the Brussels and Cranbrook Women's Institutes. Mrs. Yvonne Knight introduced the program which included a piano duet by Sharon and Rosanne Engel with the "Brussels Stompers" rhythm band playing and singing several old favorites. Members of the band are Wilma Hemingway, Peggy Cudmore, Alberta Smith, Leona Armstrong, Alma Watson, Leona Connelly and Lulu Kerr. A vocal trio Dianne Cox, Kathy Hart and Richard Knight sang the clock song and a quintet Sharon, Roseanne and Tracy Engel, Brenda and Karen Knight sang and acted the old number "Mothers Old Kitchen Apron", The celebrants were presented with a gift and the appreciation of residents was extended to the ladies by Mrs. Mary Johnston who celebrated her 99th birthday this month, MARY'S SEWING CENTRE 17 Albert St. CLINTON Authorized WHITE — ELNA Dealer Special Sewing Courses in lingerie Knits and Men's Wear FABRICS tricot, lycra, knits and all makings and trims Precision scissor sharpening Repairs to all makes of sewing machines Phone 482-7036 or 262-5372 after 6 p.m. Mr. and Mrs, Wes Witmer marked their 40th wedding an- niversary with open house at Exeter United Church Saturday afternoon and evening. About 150 people attended the celebration. Mr. and Mrs. Witmer's son, Leo, and his wife Mary Lou, Leona Alderson, Head of Home Economics Department of Kingsway College in Oshawa and daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Roy Alderson, Exeter visited her parents here upon her return from a three-week tour of six European countries - England, Belgium, Holland, Germany, Switzerland, and France. She went with a group of about 100 Seventh-day Adventist teachers from across Canada, Mr, and Mrs. Roy Alderson and Mabel and Russell Collingwood accompanied Leona Alderson to the African Lion Safari at Rockton, Dundas, Niagara Falls and finally to Oshawa last week and returned home Sunday. Mr. & Mrs. Jim Carscadden Montreal spent last week with their parents Eric and Mrs. Carscadden. Guests with them on the weekend were Mr. & Mrs. L. Whitman, Point Claire, Quebec. Open Friday Until Nine Woodstock, received the guests. Their grandchildren, Ronald, 13, looked after the guest book and Debra, 8 served the wedding cake. A dinner was also held for the immediate family and the original bridal party. Bill Davis, London was the best man and Miss Marie Wood the maid of honor at the wedding. Both at- tended the dinner. The couple were married by Rev. Harold Stainton at the bride's home in Exeter, August 5, 1933. The bride is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W.H. Dearing, and the groom is the son of Mr. and Mrs. David Witmer, Zurich. The bride is the sister of Preston Dearing, and Mrs. Luther Reynolds, both of Exeter and the groom is the brother of Harold, Kitchener and William, Zurich. The tea table was decorated with wedding cake and pink tapers. Friends attended from Detroit, Tillsonburg, Woodstock, Corunna, Strathroy, London and surrounding area.

But so far, the response has been very limited. Hazel Thompson, counsellor for the program says that it will take awhile for people to get to know that the service is here and how to use it. "We're selling a service and it's expected to be slow at first, But this program will not go on forever if it isn't used. After all, this is public money that is being spent." The counselling service is designed to handle any type of problem that a family can en- counter from marital strife drugs, financial planning, and legal aid, to applying for unemployment and filling out government forms. In short, any type of interpersonal problem will be dealt with. If Miss Thompson can't deal with it herself, she knows exactly where to refer the person. One of Information South Huron's pilot projects was to make up a complete directory of all available social services in the county so that people like Miss Thompson would have the necessary information at their fingertips, People interested in seeing the counsellor can phone the 24-hour hot line to make an appointment. The number is 235-0224 and all calls are strictly confidential. The person is not even required to Ocie4 80 e&d The T-A Club bnd best wishes to two members of the Over 80 this ould week.

Counselling now runs from six to nine on Tuesday evenings in the board room at the back of the Victoria and Grey building. Dianne Rimmer, secretary of Information South. Huron said that they are waiting to see if enough people take advantage of the service before extending hours or moving to a permanent office. According to Miss Thompson, this service offers an excellent opportunity to people to break into the vast network of social services. "The services have proliferated so much that it's hard to get into the system, This is why counselling in a hospital or office doesn't work, You 'ren't getting to the people", she said. This service is the first of its kind in the county and if it does well, similar programs will be set up in other communities. Information South Huron is a committee comprised of about 15 interested members of the community with Keith McLean as chairman. The first became interested in starting a family counselling service as the result of a social services survey which was conducted by the Huron County Social Services Coordinating Committee in 1972, The survey was conducted with elected officials, ministers and other professionals either voluntary or elected who are involved in the social service field in any capacity. There was also a sampling of welfare recipients. The results showed that over 80 percent of those questioned felt there was a need in this county for a counselling service. Some thought that early family, marital and budget counselling might prever,t family breakdown and save tax dollars in Family Court, Legal Aid, Children's Aid Society, Welfare Allowances, etc. Exeter was chosen as the spot for this venture because of the work of the individuals in Information South Huron. "'They did the spade work," said Miss Thompson. The committee approached the Coordinating Committee who agreed to sponsor it and provide the personnel. Mr. McLean said that the counselling will be long-term if necessary, If several sessions with a person or persons, are required, they will be carried out. It is not just a one-shot type of thing, Similar programs have been established, successfully, in Lucan, Strathroy and in most cities. "In some places it took a while to get off the ground but now they are running suc- cessfully," said Mr. McLean. Information South Huron is a totally non-profit organization, Although the Huron County Social Services Coordinating Committee supplies and pays the counsellor, the local group must supply the office space, ad- vertising and an answering service. Consequently, they are relying on donations as their source of income, sommFROZEN6maays Banque TV Dinners Ontario Grown Cooking Onions 2 lbs 3 5 ° Local Grow', Corn on Cob Dozen 59' "What we did in our summer holidays" OR "What you always wanted to know about three single girls in the nation's capital but were afraid to ask!" When we were in public school, the first assignment when we went back to school in September was to write an essay on what we had done during the summer holidays, Of course, not many of them had as spicey sounding sub- titles as this one, but I figured it was still an appropriate subject for my first column. As you may or may not realize I just returned from my first-ever official two-week holiday. I don't intend to bore you with every little detail of the trip. It's just like hearing about a movie second hand, But for anyone who has never been to Ottawa, I would recommend it highly for singles, families, and people of all ages. I don't know what I expected when I went to the city, but it certainly exceeded any ex- pectations I may have had. Of course, there are all the "touristy" things to do, like seeing the Changing of the Guards on Parliament Hill and touring the Parliament buildings. Anyone who says their Members of Parliament are inaccessible has obviously never talked to any of the guides in the Parliament buildings. Right, left and centre, they were advising anyone who wanted to get special passes to the House of Commons gallery to just call their M.P. I had to laugh at one lady. "But my P.M. is Prime Minister Trudeau", she told the guard. "That's O.K.," he said. "Just call his office, and one of his secretaries will be able to give you a pass". She seemed awed at the thought of even approaching the secretary of the P.M., but as far as I know, she headed off in the right direction, The day we decided to get up in time to see the Changing of the Guards, a couple dozen other people had the same idea - a couple dozen behind us, a couple dozen in front of us, and dozens of people all around us: southern drawls, western twangs, east coast jargon, and the distinctive See historiography at Heywood reunion Canned Ham 1 1/2 lb. tin Guaranteed Lean '22 ' Stokelys Cream Corn A $100 14 oz.
