The Huron County Health
Unit held a screening
procedure to detect possible
scoliosis (a lateral curvature
of the spine) and other spinal
problems at the Brussels
Public School on Thursday
morning.
The screening procedure
was held for students in
Grade Eight and special class
students of similar age.
A letter sent out to parents
by the Huron County Health
Unit explains that these
problems usually become
Darwin McCutcheon,
son of Frank and Betty
McCutcheon of Brussels is
just one more Brussels
resident who has gone on to
Triumphs in the hockey
world.
After asking a for a tryout,
Darwin was accepted by the
Kitchener Rangers and
currently plays the defence
position with that team. Prior
to that, he played with the
Listowel Midgets. A Junior
H ockey magazine given out
at the arena in Kitchener had
this to say about Darwin:
"In Listowel Minor
Hockey, Darwin quickly
ado-,bed to the successful
evident during the
adolescent growth spurt.
According to.the letter the
purpose of the program is to
recognize the problem at its
earliest stages and initiate
preventive treatment.
Students who showed
possible spinal problems
.would be screened by Dr.
Brian Lynch, Medical officer
of Health 7 and referred to
their family doctor for
examination.
No cases of scoliosis were
found at the Brussels school.
systems of the Cyclones
minor hockey teams, and
from his defensive post
helped his teams skate to the
O.M.H.A. finals in Midget,
also winning the Regional
Silver Stick, Crown. In his
second year of Midget ranks,
the team again copped the
Regional Silver Stick, and as
a member of the Juvenile
squad, Darwin and his team-
mates went to the finals of
the North American Silver
Stick Championship."
Darwin is in Grade 12 at
Cameron Heights Collegiate
in Kitchener. He ‘has two
brothers, Terry and Blaine
and a sister Cheryl.
Weekend visitors with
Jean Lamont were Mr. and
Mrs. Jim Lamont, London;
Mr. and Mrs. Gorge Baxter
and family of Guelph; Mr,
and Mrs. Graham Lamont,

Clarence White , Brussels.

The Minister of, the En-
vironment has stated that
although the technology ex-
ists to remove substances
that cause acid rain from
industrial emissions, high
costs and the problem of
what to do with the huge vats
of acid that would remain
stand in the way of an air
pollution cleanup. In re-
sponse to a demand for
action by Robert Nixon, he
said: "There is a complicated
problem of what to do with
that material once it is re-
moved from the
atmosphere."
Opposition members have
ben repeatedly asking the
Minister what he will - do
about Inc() since a report
released last month named
the company as the biggest
source of acid rain pollution
in North America.
According to the terms of
an agreement by Reed Paper
tcsell its Dryden operation to
Great Lakes Forest Products
Ltd., Ontario taxpayers could
pick up some of the cost of
past environmental damage
by that company. Possible
liability for Reed's past
mercury pollution of the
English-Wabigoon river
system had impeded the
sale. To resolve the impasse,
the government took the
apparently unprecedented
step of- guaranteeing Great
Lakes that it will assume
financial responsibility for
claims over $15 million.
Claims under that figure will
be shared by Reed and the
purchaser.
The Minister of Consumer
and Commercial Relations
has tabled legislation to
make public liability and
property damage insurance
mandatory for all drivers,
with fines of up to $2,500 for
anyone caught without
of days last week with her
mother, Mrs. Danby.
Mrs. and Mrs. Lyle
Brothers of Scarborough with
their guests, Mrs. Florence
Fletcher of Scarborough and
Mts. Doris Hood of.Listowel,
were at their home in
Brussels last week when they
attended the VValfon United
Church Supper on November
7th.
Robert Kennedy of Ottawa
spent Sunday evening and
Monday with his mother,
Mrs. R.W. Kennedy. They
were in Kitchener on
Monday for the funeral of
insurance. Courts are
empowered to suspend
licences and confiscate
vehicles in the case of
"habitual offenders". When
1980 licence plate stickers go
on sale December 1st,
motorists will be required to
show proof of insurance. The
Minister estimated that on
any given day about 350,000
motorists on the road have no
insurance, either because
they refuse to pay any or
because they have allowed
their policies to lapse. His
advice to people who say
they won't be able to afford
car insurance when it be-
comes compulsory on March
1st is: "Get rid of your car!"
The Ontario Government
cannot afford the huge in-
creases being asked for by
most of the Children's Aid
Societies in the province,
according to the Minister of •
Community and Social Ser-
viceg. Figures made avail-
able by senior officials with
the children's services divi-
sion of the ministry showed
that six agencies ar e asking
for operating increases of
more than 30 per cent. Only

nine of the fifty societies in

Amendments to the re-
cently revamped Child Wel-
fare Act were introduced in
the Ontario Legislature this
week to correct some
drafting errors made in the
area of adoption. Since the
new act was proclaimed on
June 15, the act's definition
of parent has been causing
problems in provincial family
courts where judges have
been ruling that both natural
parents must give their con-
sent before an adoption order
is approved. Before the new
law was proclaimed, only the
unwed mother's consent was
required.
