CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1
Marianne and Tracy are
working out of the Huron
Centre " for Children and
Youth in Clinton. Since they
started their project on June
6, they have contacted law-
yers, doctors, dentists, tea-
chers, public health nurses,
social services and schools to
try and find out approximate-
ly how many fatherless boys
there are in each community
and to spread the word about
their project.
"We have to rely on word

of mouth mostly because we
don't have • an advertising
budget," explains Marianne.
"Most people we've talked
to think Big Brothers is a
good idea," says Tracy. "A
lot of mothers want their
sons to feel proud about
being male."
",It's surprising," says
Marianne. "Both Kincardine
and Exeter have Big Broth-
ers agencies which operate
very well. Goderich used to
have one but it fell through
for some reason or, other."
Tracy says she and Mari-
anne have all the old files
from the Big Brothers agency
which used to exist in
Goderich and these have
been very helpful in their
research. >
PUBLIC MEETING
PLANNED
The girls held their first
public meeting on Big Broth-
ers for Monday, June 26 at 8
p.ml in North Street United
Church in Goderich. A public
meeting will also be held in
Wingham soon for those in

this area. Anyone interested
in being a board member for
the Wingham agenpy or a
volunteer big brother is
invited to attend at this time.
Mothers of fatherless boys
are also welcome 'as are
people who are just plain
interested.
"No one attending the
meeting will be under any
obligation," says Marianne.
The girls have been adver-
tising in church bulletins and
school news letters about
their project and they are
planning to hold' a public
meeting in each of the four
towns they represent.
Since starting their pro-
ject, the' girls have discover-
ed that there is a real need
for Big Brothers in the area.
There is not as great a need
for Big Sisters as there are
not as many single fathers as
single mothers.
By the end of their 12• week
project, the girls hope tohave
a Big Brothers Agency
successfully operating with-
out their help in each one of

the four communities they
are involved in. Marianne
will then return to her music
program at the University of
Western Ontario and Tracy
will return to her nursing
program there also. As girts,
they may not be able to
volunteer as ' big brothers,
but they are certainly enthus-
iastic about trying to get the
program off the *round.
Meanwhile, there is an
urgent need to expand such
services and establish new
agencies in many communit-
ies.. In this manner boys are
given opportunities to be-
come happier, better adjust-
ed people while men partic-
ipating usually experience
one of the most rewarding
experiences of their lives.
For further information
about the program, contact
Marianne or Tracy at 482-
3931. And don't forget to
participate in the public
meeting.
