Children's Aid needs Christmas gifts
The Children's Aid Society
Christmas Bureau is ready to
swing into action next week under
the direction of enthusiastic
volunteers from he community,
Last year 122 families were
helped by. the Bureau. This year's
plans are much the same, with an
added emphasis on the need for
gifts and clothing for teenagers.
Christmas Co-ordinators will
operate depots in Goderich,
Clinton, Seaforth, Wingham and
Exeter, Donated gifts and
clothing will be received and
sorted at these centres next week,
and distributed to families the
following week.
Mothers will be given
appointment times to come to the
depots to /male their choices.
They will also receive cheques to
assist with Chrismtas dinner, and
to buy gifts they might not be able
to find at the centres.
Snows
strain
road
budget
Huron County Engineer
J.W. Britnell is preparing a draft
budget for 1977 consisting of the
normal ' maintenance items plus
the road and bridge construction
items as approved by County
Council in their Long Range
Construction Plan.
The draft is expeted to be ready
for the December 'session of
County Council.
Acceding to Mr. ,Britnell the
recent early snow storms have
caused a strain on the 1976
budget but his department still
forecasts that all projects can be
completed within the original
budget and finish with a small
surplus.
A six per cent wage increase,
across the board, was approved
for employees of the County
Roads Department.
Attendance down,
Museum income up
According to a report by Huron
County Museum Curator
Raymond Scotchmer to the
County Council last week,
attendance over the past year was
down slightly (19,000 last year to
18,000 this year) but because of
higher admission fees the income
actually increased somewhat.
The highest rate of attendance
was in 1972 when 25,000 visitors
passed through the museum at
Goderich.
Early this year the Museum
hired a Registrar to do
cataloguing as well as helping in
making of new labels. Registrar
Nancy Beaver also worked some
weekends to lighten the load on
other staff,
Families needing Christmas
assistance can be referred by
Public Health Nurses, Family
Benefits, Social Stpvices or
Children's Aid Society Staff.
Individuals, groups or families
themselves are welcome to
telephone the Society if there will
be little under the tree this year.
Up until a few years ago
Christmas was run entirely from
the Children's Aid Society offices
in Goderich. Boxes of gifts and
food were packed and delivered
all over the county. The present
system is much more satisfactory.
Mothers can now shop in their
area depot, knowing exactly what
is most suitable for their family.
Delivery can be arranged if .
reque'sted.
Each year volunteers assume
more responsibility in the running
of the Bureau. Their suggestions
are helping to improve
co-ordination and to meet families
needs better.
Response to the
appeal has always be
and is increasing
