The Board has never been shy to admit its need for guidance from Almighty God, as witnessed by its opening prayer at each Board meeting and on other occasions. At the same time, the Board is also convinced that the financial needs of the Association have, more than once, _been met in ex- traordinary ways through the generosity of, for in- stance, Dashwood Industries, Limited, Lamb- ton and Huron Coupty Councils; the Huron County Board of Education, the Order of the Alhambra and many others. As a Board, we are acutely aware of the ever present danger that the care ex- tended to the mentally handicapped can becdme purely professional, and that the personal interest and concern will disappear. This would be more disastrous than the shortage of funds. That is the reason the Board decided once again that support for the South Huron and District Association for the IVIentally Handicapped should come for one reason only-to care for the handicapped. It is a Henry Van Essen * Dear Editor: Last year a group of home economists, dieticians and home economics teachers, both active and retired, ipet to form a group called the Huron County Home Economics Association. One of its goals is to provide a chance for professionals to gather together and discuss common problems and learn new techniques for education, It has proven to be a very worthwhile organization for those who are involved. By publicizing our events and giving you an account of our meetings for the newspaper, we hope to in- terest those of the com- munity who are also in- terested in home economics education to come to our meetings as well. Thank you for your co- operation and I hope you will find space to print our meeting reports once a month. Yours truly I. Grace Bird, Ontario Ministry Agriculture andFood Home Economist.

FRED BOWDEN CENTRALIA Service. in the United Church Sunday morning was well attended and during the service. Mr. and ° Mrs. Bob Stuckless were confirmed and- received into church membership. Mr. and Mrs. Ed Lin- denfield, Mr. Abraham John and Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Graham were welcomed through a transfer of membership. Mr. Paul Schott speaking' on the topic "The street corner advertising agency" pointed out that stores and business people advertise to sell their products. In the same way the church should be able to sell people on the idea of Christianity and it must be seen to be effective. "Your light must shine before people so that they will see the good things you do and praise your Father in Heaven." he said. The choir sang an anthem and the children's story was told by Mr. Schott. The flowers inthe church were in memory of the late Mrs. Jim Cook of Grand Bend. Mr. Personals Mrs. Earl Dixon and her sister, Mrs. Della Hamilton, Exeter returned home last week after visiting for a week with relatives in Eauclair and Birchwood, Wisconsin. Mrs. Minnie Harrison was a Saturday evening guest at the home of Mr. and Mrs, Ken Clarke, Zurich. The occasion was in honour of the 35th wedding anniversary of Mrs. Clarke's parents, Mr. and Mrs. • Robert Beeen, Hensall. Sunday a family gathering was held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Sam Skinner and Diane. Those attending were Mr, and Mrs. Alvin Pym, Mr. and Mrs. Bill Brock, Jeremy and Melissa, Exeter, Mr. and Mrs. Jim Hyde, Mrs. Bob Caldwell, Terry and Jeff and Miss Bonnie Westlake, Hensall, Mr. and Mrs. Howard Pym and family, Elimville, Mr. and Mrs. Bill Morley, Mr. and Mrs. Rob Morley, Whalen, Mr, and Mrs. Gary Skinner and Craig, Centralia, Karen Skinner and • Gord Prince, Ilderton. Later on, this decision was reviewed and extended further in that it was decided that no project bf the South Huron and DAMII, or its committees, was to be financed by lotteries. Just recently, it became clear to the Board that surplus funds from the Cash- for-Life lottery are available for loCal projects. Again,-the Board decided to maintain their earlier stand. Why? The overall reason is the conviction that the quality of care and assistance extended to the handicapped is deeply in- fluenced by the attitude of the donors who support this work, The yearly Flowers of Hope campaign on behalf of the mentally handicapped is always a great source of strength to this Board, and to the staff employed, because the success of this campaign in our area says, year-after- year, we people care for the mentally handicapped. It is the caring and loving attitude which makes the widow's mite do an amazing amount of good, also at the SHand DAMH, the care and concern of the community is a measureless strength for good, which contributes greatly to the quality of care extended to the han- dicapped.

I would like to commend Dr. Brian Lynch, county M.0.11, for his honest and forthright statements as he reported on the alarming increase in abortions in Huron County in the past five years, This is despite the increasing emphasis on sex education in the sphools and the fact that contraceptives are readily available and vociferously promoted. It is especially distressing to note 'that almost 77 per- cent of the abortions were performed on women bet- ween the ages of 15 and 24. This procedure not only kills her unborn child but also increases the risks to her „health and to her ability to conceive and bear a child in 'the future., According to one study, following induced abortion there was: 50-100 percent increase, in subsequent perinatal deaths, 200-300 percent increase in tubal pregnancies, 400 percent increase in pelvic in- flammation and menstrual disorders, 5 percent sterility and 30-40 percent rate of spontaneous abortions in subsequent pregnancies,' The escalation is the adolescent abortion rate nationally is even more frightening. Between 1972 and 1977 there was an almost 750 percent increase in the number of abortions done on 'women under 15 years of age (from 96 to 703) and an over 750 percent increase in the number of abortions per- formed on women 15 to 19 years of age (from 2,228 to 16,878). Source: Statistics Canada 1977. It is quite obvious that something iS lacking-in our homes, in our schools and in our country. As an educator I am most concerned about and feel a little more qualified to comment on the school situation. As was pointed out in the article, the emphasis in most sex education courses is on the dissemination of information regarding sexual function and dysfunction and con- traceptive technology. Sexual rights (and rites too for that matter) are declared PROMOTED — David A. Greene of Exeter was promoted recently to M/Corporal at the Armed Forces Base In Petawawa. Above, David is being congratulated by Commanding Officer L/Col. Mialowski. He is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Murray Greene, Exeter. Ladies hear of handicapped Confirm pair at Centralia Eleanor Scott, Mrs. Gladys Buswell and Mrs. Iva litlair were in charge of the programme. Iva Blair welcomed everyone and read ta poem "God's Bounties", Hymn for For the beauty of the earth was sung. Eleanor Scott read the scripture. Gladys Buswell led in prayer and a piano solo was played by Jean Buswell. Marion Abbott gave a reading Thankfulness a habit. Eleanor Scott introduced Faye Blair who spoke ,and showed slides of her work as supervisor of the han- dicapped children at Arc Industries. Gladys Buswell thanked Faye and gave her a gift. President Freda Rollings read two poems and conducted the business. It was moved that members , start a fund for Abraham Johns to 'get his daughter who is ill in India to come to London to get treatment. It was decided to sell calendars. Edith Lobb gave a report on the Presbytery meeting that was held at Elimville inviolate while sexual responsibilities are rarely mentioned-let alone being given the prominence they should have in any course on human sexuality. But adolescents are not the only ones in need of lessons in responsibility. Their parents, their teachers and their doctors 'are also in need of , education in this area, ,Jointly they created this literally bloody mess and together they must seek positive, non-violent,life-and- health-preserving solutions to what must be seen as society's self-destructive tendencies. • Ms. Carla Revington 228-6260 Dear Mr. Editor, 'At a recent meeting of the Board of Directors of the South Huron and District Association for the Mentally Handicapped, the lottery issue was discussed once more. The first time this issue, faced the Board occurred when the Cash-for-Life lottery was begun by the Ontario Association for the Mentally Handicapped. The South Huron and District DAMHdecided against par- ticipation in that lottery. ...Presents the Remotd-Control 26" COLOR TV "The Puccini" DODGE 024 Total performance in a sporty car, proven front-wheel drive and a 1,71 engine that goes easy on gas.
