"The response has told us that we must carry on this activity in an ex- panding way", stated Mr. Bir- chall. Other innovative March of Dimes programmes include travelling medical clinics, self- help community development programmes, the provision of wheelchairs and other appliances to those in need, and continued advocacy at all levels of government for improved housing and transportation for the handicapped. "It is important that we continue to act as the advocates for change in legislation which will assure the handicapped of their right to participate in the community", concluded Mr. Birchall. The Ontario March of Dimes is in its 25th year of service to the Province's handicapped adults. Only through the generous support of volunteers and area residents can the innovative and integrative programmes planned for 1976 be realized.

That is the primary purpose of the Ontario March of Dimes as explained by Thomas H, Birchall, President and guest speaker at the recent meeting of campaign delegates in Kitchener's Granite Club. More than 140 delegates from seven counties attended the dinner meeting which was planned and organized by Dorothy Clark of Stratford, and which was the forerunner of the January Marching Mothers Campaign for funds to assist Ontario's 750,000 disabled adults. Attending from this area were: Mrs. Iva Blair, RR 1 Centralia; ' Mrs. Sharon Hoffman, Hensall; Mrs, Esther Hillman, Huron Park; Mrs, Harvey Pfaff, Exeter, "The innovative need arises in many different ways", said Mr, Birchall, "and is perhaps best illustrated by our camping and recreation programmes", Camping may not sound par- ticularly innovative, but for the handicapped vacationers who were able to spend two weeks in Clinton, five years. The Director of Children's Aid Society in Huron, Bruce Heath, also drew attention to Mr. and Mrs. Garth Hamilton of Goderich who have been operating the county's receiving home for the past three years, As well, Mrs. Hamilton co-ordinates the Society's volunteer drivers and staffs the answering service at nights and on the weekends. In his brief address to the gathering, Mr. Heath expressed grave concern for a statistic which reveals that one in every four Canadian marriages is "on the rocks and on the way to the divorce courts," Mr. Heath indicated this results in new problems for CAS and said that problems are also arising from homes where the parents are attempting to "stick it out" because of the children. One in every five single-parent families is now headed by the father. Of 158 children in the care of CAS from January to September their 1976 'March' on January 15, their campaign target is $64,900. The Strathroy Middlesex Museum would like to promote involvement of the students in the Strathroy and area schools in research projects relating to the past in this community, Last year various projects of this kind were directed by Mrs. Brophey at Colbourne School, and her students turned in some excellent pieces of research. These included studies of the settlement of Middlesex, such as the Delaware and Kilworth areas, Adelaide Village and Strathroy. The students selected places of particular interest to them and approached their projects from many different angles, They made comparati"e population graphs, studied the effects of the railroad on Strathroy as well as the various disasters such as the great fire which wiped out a large portion of the town. One, group studied the ar- 78 were teenagers. At the end of .Septernber there were 86 children in care with 49 or just slightly under 60 percent of this num- ber being teenagers. "We can only anticipate this trend will continue," Mr,, Heath went on. He admitted the board and the CAS workers felt deep concern for this problem. "There are few pat solutions," Mr. Heath said, "The answer is not found in a simple index in a community or a book." It costs slightly under $10 per day for a child to be in care in Huron County, The director described this as a "very cheap bargain" when one considers this is a total package involving administration, social workers, room and board, clothing and medical care, He was offered the highest praise to the county's foster parents and said that slightly over two-thirds of them are now giving five years or more of service to the CAS here. As an extra measure of con- cern, however, Mr. Heath said there was a "dwindling number of homes" available for the teenagers taken into care. He spoke of the county's group home operated by Mr. and Mrs. Dennis Brown of Middlesex County where eight teenagers from 14 to 16 years of age are presently in care. He also spoke about an in- dependence home project for teenage girls which is presently under consideration for Huron which should help to alleviate some of the need for homes. But place markers at each plate told the story. They said, "Make time for the teens, We do." The telephone number to call is 524-7356, Regain lost hour over the weekend This is the weekend for area residents to get an extra hour of sleep.

One of these old houses researched was our Museum building. We hope that the students of area schools will continue to make use of facilities provided by the Museum in pursuing their studies of our community's history. The October meeting of the Strathroy Middlesex Museum Auxiliary was held attheMuseum on Monday, October 6 at 7:30 p,m, The main topic under discussion was museum's annual Christmas tea to be held on Wednesday December 10. It was decided to hold the November meeting on Wednesday November 5th at 1:30 p.m. Anyone interested in helping at the Museum would be welcome to attend. Rec centre Continued from front page It was noted that 50 percent of the cost of a centre would come from grant programs, 25 percent from local fund-raising activities and the remaining 25 percent from municipal debentures, "If the total debenture was shared by participating municipalities, then naturally the tax base would be larger and the individual tax increases would be reduced significantly," the report stated and went on to say that "the key element to any fund-raising program of this type and magnitude is that it willDot succeed unless mutual co- operation can be . generated PLOWING MATCH SIGN GOES UP — Gordon McGavin, Seaforth drives the first stake into the Jim "among all of the henefitting Armstrong land near Winighem, foi. the sign announcing the 1978-Internotional Plowing Match:Howard- 'municipalities," Datars. of the Huron committee holds the stake while Rev.
