Mr. Cameron had a lot of wood to split for winter and found it too hard a job with an axe. The wood is .placed on a piece of steel, and a hydraulic cylinder forces the wood down on a blade. It can -split wood 18" thick and four feet in diameter. Mr. Garniss, Brian Thomas, Cambridge and Bill Paris, Cranbrook load a piece of wood on the machine.

Those who received recognition for their assistance in service were Mr. and Mrs. Ross Krueger, R.R.2, Crediton, 15 years; Mr. and Mrs. Hartley Watson,' Kincardine, 10 years; Mrs. Mary Campbell, Bluevale, 10 years; Mr. and Mrs. Leonard O'Rourke, R.R.4, Seaforth, 10 years; Mr. and Mrs.I Gordon Westlake, R.R.3, Bayfield, 10 years; Mr. and Mrs. Aaron Kuepfer, R.R.2, Bluevale, five years; Mr. and Mrs. Franklin Roth, R.R.3, Kippen, five years; Mr. and Mrs. Bruce T yndall, R.R.3, Clinton, five years; Mr. and Mrs. Jim Schell, Huron Park, five years; Mrs.' Alice Koehler, Huron Park, five years; Mr. and Mrs. Terrance Bauer, Sunset Beach, five years; Mr. and Mrs.EarlBetisette, R.R.1, Brucefield, five years; and Mr. and Mrs. Ray Foster, R.R.3, 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. H eath 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, 78 were teenagers. At! the end of September, there were 86 children in care with 49 - or just slightly under 60 per cent of this number - 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 a 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 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 concern, 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 independence h ome 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 35th Anniversary Dance for MR. & MRS. BILL DALE Fri.
