WOOD SPLITTING THE EASY WAY — It doesn't
look very easy but the machine designed by Alex
Cameron, Cranbrook, and b uilt by Tom Garniss,
Brussels makes the job of splitting wood easy. 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.

Foster parents who had given
from five to 15 years of service to
the Huron County Children's Aid
Society were honored Thursday
evening at the annual banquet in
Clinton.
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
