The simple act of one human being embracing another in a warm, generous hug is thought to be about the best therapy anyone can find for just about anything that ails them. Hugging is -healthy. It helps the body's immune system. It keeps you healthier. It cures depression. It reduces stress. It induces sleep. It's invigorating and it's rejuvenating. It has no unpleasant side effects. Hugging is nothing less than a miracle drug. Hugging is all natural. It is organic, naturally sweet, has no pesticides, no preservatives, no artificial ingredients and is 100 percent wholesome. Hugging is practically perfect. There are no movable parts, no batteries to wear out, no periodic checkups, no monthly, payments and no insurance requirements. It is low in energy consumption and high in energy yield. Hugging is inflation proof and non-fattening. Theft -proof, nontaxable, nonpolluting and fully returnable,. hugs are an Impeccable gift for everyone on, your list. . One caution. No hugs in the workplace. Those hugs could result in,.a sexual harassment charge.

Writer says: no cutback in speech pathology To the editor, I am compelled to respond to: the article entitled "Why Zero Increases are Difficult" printed in the Huron Public Education supplement to your newspaper on May 12, 1993. The article indicates that there has been a cutback in speech pathology support to the schools. This is in • reference to the School Health Support. Services Program that is administered by the Huron County Home Care Program and funded by the Ministry of Health. There has . been no cutback in this program. In the 1991/92 school year there were 1,418 visits to children for speech pathology services and in 1992/93 there were 1,466 visits. Responsibility for each specific type of speech and language service is outlined by the Ministries of Education, Health and Community, & Social Services in the Inter- ministerial Guidelines for the provision of Speech '& Language Services document.
