President Hilda Payne welcomed members and guests and opened the meeting. The roll call was answered by 18 members and four visitors by Readers write Sir: A survey of business people was taken in the village of Hensall last week and published in this paper. The survey was concerning the closing of stores, which was discussed at the last council meeting. There are several points that were printed in this survey that I think should be cleared up. There are not seven empty stores, only five, and of these five stores there is only one that is of any size to house a fair decent business. The other four places would make a good office only and that would be after they have had a good bill of decorating. Two weeks ago this paper contacted the council members on a survey about the recent murder and how the public in Hensall have been reacting since it happened. The council is very concerned about this murder case and also concerned about the empty stores but this paper never asked the council to take part in this survey. The report from certain businessmen pointed the finger on council as the problem. Our business people have no association of any kind. When an important situation comes up you have to go from store to store to talk to them, instead of having a businessman's meeting„ naming a product and composing a commercial to sell it. A considerable amount of discussion was held on various ways of making money for the Institute, and it was suggested to try a travelling basket. Program conveners were Nellie Riley and Council recently contacted each business about donating to new lighting decorations for our business section for Christmas. To this date we have had no reply. The parking is no problem for shoppers coming into town as there is all kinds of room on main street, But the big problem is all the business people drive their cars to work and park on main street right in front of where they work instead of parking in the town parking lots and walking a half a block. A businessman saying that a person should shop in town as much as possible is very ridiculous because the majority of them wear their cars out driving out of town to shop. Our town has everything a shopper needs for everyday living except home town at- mosphere and good organization. I would like to see all our business people advertise together and form a business organization instead of trying to knock the other person's business. As a council meeting is open to all the business people, please bring any suggestions you have on the empty store problem. As a council member I would also like to point out that council is open to any one at nomination time. Murray Baker (Council Member) Winnie Skea. Everyone enjoyed a singsong with Greta Lammie at the piano. Karen Volland favoured with several vocal selections, ac- companying herself on the guitar. Nellie Riley read an ar- ticle on "Ontario's Industry", and introduced Ben VanDen Akker of Seaforth who is on the sales staff of the Hensall District Co-op. He spoke on agriculture in Huron County, mainly the white bean industry, with the growing, harvesting and exporting of beans. The metric system on volume was reviewed by Winnie Skea. Hilda Payne gave a very good report on the area convention held at the Banqueter in London which she and Grace Peck at- tended. Hostesses for the evening were Myrtle Orr and Grace Peck. A bean pot donated by the Hensall District Co-op was raf- fled off and won by Annie Reid. Eric Luther, chairman of the area campaign for the Canadian National Institute for the Blind, reports that the canvass totalled $900.43 which is the highest amount ever recorded for the Hensall area. Sincere appreciation is ex- pressed to all who donated and especially to the following groups who conducted a door-to-door canvass: The Women's Institute, The Arnold Circle, The Legion Ladies Auxiliary and the Rebekah Lodge. •i .

UNICEF's first card artist was a seven year old little girl who painted her picture on glass because there was no paper. It was 1949 when Czech school children sent their thanks in the form of paintings to UNICEF for providing milk to replace losses caused by Nazi slaughter of village dairy cattle. Mrs. Jitka Samkova Vejdova, now 33, lives in Ceske Budejovice, Czechoslovakia. Describing her cheerul painting of children dancing round a maypole, she said, "The picture expresses joy, by going round and round, and the wreath at the top of the maypole is to show that the line to help is endless." The line of children which began in a Europe shattered by World War II now circles the world: Haiti and Jamaica and Latin America, Africa, India, Pakistan . . , there are 780 million children in the developing countries.
