The South Huron and
District Association for the
Mentally Handicapped at a
meeting Wednesday adopted
Prevention and Public
Awareness as new priorities
for its future direction.
It is understood that the
local organization is one of
the first to react to the
Provincial Government’s
and the Ontario
Association’s emphasis in
these areas.
President, Bob Southcott,
stated that this new em-
phasis in no way would
lessen its concern for the
services the Association now
provides for the han
dicapped. It was felt, he said,
that these facilities were
being operated by active
committees and competent
staff. As a result, the Board
of the Association is now able
to turn its attention to these
new priorities.
In doing so, the
Association accepted the
recommendations of a
Special Committee set up in

December, 1977, under the
chairmanship of Mrs. Pat
Wright. The Committee,
during the past few months,
has evaluated the persons in
the areas of Public Health,
Education, Public
Awareness and Parental
contact.
In its Statement of
Philosophy, the Committee
said that as much as this
Association is dedicated to
the care and rehabilitation of
thehandicapped people in our
homes and our communities,
they believe that those
conditions which are known
to produce mental Retar
dation should be eliminated
or corrected.
For those children who are
unavoidably damaged, they
pledged to provide early and
quality intervention to
minimize the handicap as
much as possible.
Mrs. Wright said that
Mental Retardation can be
caused by any condition
which interferes with the
child’s development before
birth, during birth or in the
early childhood years. The
medical experts now say
that a very significant
number of cases are now
preventable.
In its report, the
Prevention Committee
recommended the hiring of a
full time person with a health
care and community service
background.
Reports of the various
Committee were given to the
members.
Mrs. Joan Smith reported
the progress of the Nursery
since its transfer to Dash
wood.
Eleanor Scott reported on
the Huron Hope School
renovations at the J. A.
McCurdy School at Huron
Park.
The Executive Director
Don Campbell highlighted
the two residences in Exeter,
and the work being done to
introduce an Apartment-
Living programme.
Roland McCaffrey
reported that 12 new clients
had been added to ARC in a
Life Skills programme
recently introduced. This
would bring the total to 62.
McCaffrey also stated that a
large Warehouse had been
purchased, through the
generosity of Dashwood
Industries, and that the new
Bakeshop had just opened
for business.
The film ‘Exploding the
Myth’, produced by the
Ontario Association for the
Mentally Retarded,
highlighted some of the
occurrences which have
been going on in this area
through the de
institutionalization process.
Many persons have returned
from Institutions and
resettled in communities.
The film was very thought
provoking because it showed
that opportunities which are
now available to the han
dicapped promote additional
skill development. Higher
skill development leads to
higher employment, and,
thereby, more benefits are
available to the handicapped

At the United Church Rev.
Elwood Morden conducted
the morning worship and
officiated at the Sacrament
of Baptism on Sunday. The
theme for Rev. Morden’s
sermon was “Time, Tyrant
or Servant?”
“Someone once said”,
WE’RE DEALING

SLEDS!
quoted the minister: “Best
confessions of faith are not
our creeds, but our
datebooks. Time is a tyrant,
work done willingly is ser
vice but work done lovingly
is a sacrament. How do you
make use of your time, is it
your tyrant or your ser
vant?”
Michael Darcy, son of Mr.
& Mrs. Terry Johnson and
Dwane Adam, son of Mr. &
Mrs. Terry Mills, received
the sacrament of baptism at
this service.
Flowers were placed in the
church in loving memory of
the late Norman Riddell, by

WHY TAKE CHANCES??
Farmers should treat warbles by December
Ontario dairymen should
launch campaigns against
warbles before December 1.
“Treating dairy cattle for
warbles in October or
November is more than 90
percent effective,” says
Harold Clapp, Ontario
Ministry of Agriculture and
Food dairy cattle specialist.
It prevents stress, damage
to meat gnd hide, and milk
loss caused by gadding.
“The warble fly’s life cy-
clq can be broken now. This
insect can’t be controlled in
the summer when it’s ' in
flight.”
Several insecticides are
available for warble treat
ment. Grubex, Co-op Warble
Killer, Neguvon, and Spot
ton are systemics, which
penetrate the animal’s skin,
and are carried by the
bloodstream throughout the
body.
“Treat young cattle accor
ding to weight,” suggests
Mr. Clapp. “Never treat lac
tating cows or cows within
ten day of freshening,
because the bloodstream
would contain the systemic,
and the milk would be con
taminated.”
Apply an adequate dosage,
according to the manufac
turer’s directions. An insuf
ficient application kills the
warble grubs too slowly,
causing a buildup of toxins.
Stiffness and paralysis may
result. If this happens, keep
the animal moving, and con
sult a veterinarian.
Mr. Clapp suggests
treating cattle late in the
day,.so they can be observed
the next morning for possi
ble side effects.
Treatment should be
avoided from December to
March. The grubs may have
migrated to the spinal
column, and treatment may
cause swelling or paralysis.
Besides -killing warble
grubs, systemics provide ex
cellent lice control. The first
treatment kills all feeding
lice, but unhatched eggs re
main. A second treatment,
three weeks later, kills the
remaining lice.
Warble control was
promoted widely last year
by the Ministry of
Agriculture and Food, and
industry officials. Last year,
warble infestation in On
tario cattle declined from 33
to 10 percent, according to
the Meat Packers’ Council
of Canada.
To eliminate losses from
this pest, dairymen must
continue warble control.
Ministry of Agriculture and
Food personnel plan warble
meetings across Ontario this
fall.
