A bright sun­ ny day it was and several groups of people stopped for a picnic, one young couple with some boxes of fried chicken, They ate and en­ joyed the view a little and each others company a lot, threw their boxes in the gar­ bage pail, then left. I stayed and read my book. About five minutes or less later, a man wearing an over-sized pair of pants came along. Fortyish, he had a couple of days growth of beard on his face. He must have been watching the young couple for he went directly to the garbage pail and took out their boxes. Ignoring me and my dumbfounded stare, he sat down at the picnic table and proceeded to pick the bones with obvious relish. Finish­ ed, he wiped his mouth with one of their serviettes, and whistling, proceeded off down the highway, his thumb out for a ride. Now mind you. I’m all for conservation of energy and resources and all that, but must admit that my eyes were opened that day to the limits 4hat some people will go to make sure that nothing is wasted. By ALICE GIBB Don Keillor, director of the Huron Centre for Children and Youth in Clinton, said the purpose of the centre is “to assist or support the family in what it wants to do in the first place.” Mr. Keillor, who was speaking at the centre’s second annual meeting, told guests the centre staff conducted 1,000 interviews with families in the period from August 1977 to July, 1978. He said the staff has spent 700 hours working with parents as a couple and over 700 hours working with families as a whole. The director said families are solving problems process of counsellors Centre for Youth. Mr. Keillor said in the past year, there has been “a gradual emergence of a clear therapeutic approach tothe work we’re doing.” their own through the working with at the Huron Children and The director pointed out that in the past, some social scientists had put the em­ phasis on replacing the family in society, whereas the Huron Centre for Children and Youth sees its’ role as working to support families. The director said clients are coming to the centre now from all over the county, including Exeter, Goderich, Wingham and Seaforth, as well as Clinton. When the centre was first established in Clinton, there was some concern that other county residents wouldn’t have access to the service. Mr. Keillor said the cen­ tre’s staff have succeeded in creating access to the centre from anywhere in Huron County. If families can’t come to the centre, then staff members will travel to them on an outreach basis. Also, the centre is open on Monday and Thursday nights to ensure “we are available to families when ’they can best come to us,” the the the A PARAGON OF VALUE Now for the first time ever- superb * PARAGON * Her Majesty the Queen Queen Elizabel China Potters The Queen Motl Paragon China Limited Stoke-on-Trent English fine bone china appointment to ____ Elizabeth The Queen Mother Manufacturers of Fine Bone China Paragon China Limited Stoke-on-Trent w for the first time nationally, a big 30% off We spoil you with choice and now value For 30 days only Offer ends Oct. 28 1978 ' NOW) 1 these twelve exquisite Paragon patterns,' Anastasia.

The director said centre has never really had a waiting list. He added staff can usually guarantee that callers will have their first appointment with a coun­ sellor within one week of calling the centre. Chairman's report Gordon Phillips of board of directors read chairman’s report, prepared by Howard James, who was unable to attend the annual meeting. In his report Mr. James said, “the activities of the board of directors this year have Deen a good deal more tranquil and for the most part less dramatic than those that occurred during our first year as a duly elected board.” The report added, “While ' statistical reports have shown a steady increase in the use of the centre by the public throughout the county, the financial statement will show we are still operating well within the allocated budget.” In pinpointing highlights of the past year from the board’s minutes, Mr. James selected the establishment of a new salary scale and adoption of a salary grill for centre employees, the adoption of a program of personnel practices and the hiring of two new staff members - Dr. Tony Miller, a registered psychologist and Mrs. Marilyn McMahon, who provides additional secretarial help. The final highlights mentioned in the chairman’s report were the creation of a new brochure to publicize the purpose and activities of the Huron Centre and the Experience ’78 program sponsored by the centre this summer. The Experience ’78 project was created for the purpose of establishing Big Brothers Associations in each of the major centres of Huron County. Mr. James reported, “each of the five towns (Goderich, Clinton, Seaforth, Wingham and Exeter) now has either an Association or has established a planning committee that will lead eventually to the establish­ ment of an association.” Board Members In the meeting following the two reports, Dr. Bruce Thomson, of the board’s nomination committee, reported, that Mrs. Ila Kayes, R.R. 3 Pasrkhill, was stepping down as a member of the board. Dr. Thomson said Mrs. Kayes had served on the board since the centre was just a concept and he thanked her for her work. Dr. Thomson said the remaining nine members of the 11 member board were allowing their names to stand for re-election. The tenth member of the board is an annual ap­ pointment by the members of Huron County council. In the pastyear, Warden Gerry Ginn served as council’s appointee on the Huron , Centre board. When no new names were ! nominated for the board, the : nine board members were ■ returned by acclamation. Dr. Thomson said the nominating committee hopes they can find another member for the board who might represent either Big Brothers organization or the developmentally handica­ pped. The nine members of the board who will be serving for another year are: Howard James of Egmondville, Carol Egeiier of Goderich, Joanne Jasper of Goderich, John Kopas of Wingham, Arthur Mountford of Goderich, Gordon Phillips of Clinton, Dr. Bruce Thomson of Goderich, John Penn of Goderich and Beverley Read of R.R. 3 Exeter.
