Special military exhibitopens in Goderich,
Several members of Lucknow
Legion Branch 309 were privileged
to attend the official opening last
week of The History of the Military
in Huron County.
The idea for the exhibition
originated with Harold ' Cook, a.
member of the Goderich Legion,
and an employee at the museum,
said Jeff Taylor, president of the
Lucknow Legion. Claus. Breede,
• curator of the museuM, "was also
instrumental in arranging for . the
fine exhibition, which , includes
memorabilia from Lucknow Legion
veterans and families.
Although a Huron County project,
Lucknow, because of its strategic
location on the -Huron -Bruce boun-
dary, ' was asked to participate as
well. Other Legions involved are
109, Goderich; 140, Clinton; 156,
Seaforth; 167, Exeter, 180, Win-
gham; 218 Brussels; 307,, Howick;
420, Blyth and 468; Hensall. In
addition to loaning articles of
memorabilia, each Legion Branch
was asked for a financial
contribution. Lucknow contributed
$500. Other sponsors of the ex-
hibition are The Corporation of
Huron County and the Government
of Ontario.
Foster families make a difference
In times of family crisis, children sometimes need
to be separated from their natural family; Each year.
Children's Aid Societies in Ontario provide care to
over 10,000 children. More than half of these children
are cared for by foster families who open their homes
and their hearts.
'Foster parents make a commitment to work with
children's aid societies to'provide a safe and caring
home for children in need. The following are just a
few of the special people who are involved in caring
for children in Ontario.
For Gail and Joe Edmond, Ruby and Glen Wojnar
and Joyce and Frank Husack of Hamilton, fostering is
truly a family affair. These 'three enthusiastic sisters
and their husbands have provided a total of 21 years
of fostering to babies, school age children .and teens.
' Joy Lloyd has been involved in fostering for 51
years with children's aid societies based in both
Toronto and Napanee. Joy and her late husband raised
five children of their own .while always have space
for—a- €osier=child,.-Many. oL Jay's_ foster c_
including one who is now a grandmother herself,
continue to keep in touch.
Phyllis and Leslie ' Roberston have been foster
parents for the Sarnia/Lambton Children's Aid Society
for 35 of the 40 years that they have been married.
During their years of fostering they have raised five
of their own children in addition to often having two
or three foster children living with them. The
Robertsons are happiest when they have at least one
young child in their home to nurture.
Charlotte and Ron McKay, who have been foster
parents for the Peel CAS in Mississauga for the past
12 years, cannot imagine a house without children.
They agree that the most rewarding aspect of
fostering is.seeing the children grow up and making
it on their own. The couple, who, were foster parents
in Toronto previously, now have a foster grandchild.
Arlene. and Peter Lauzon of the Essex RC CAS
began their fostering career 18 years 'ago, providing
long term care for adolescent girls and soon after
became actively involved in the formation of what is
now a very successful Foster Parent Association.
Since that time they have become involved in many
facets of fostering, • namely: emergency/receiving,
teenage boys, short term care and assessment,
working with natural parents, treatment based foster
care and the foster parent recruitment process.
In June 1993 Arlene and Peter received the Foster
children,
Parent Society of Ontario Foster Parents of the Year
Award!
All of these foster parents have a genuine interest in
children and a sense of community responsibility.
They sincerely enjoy the challenge of fostering.
Each year the Canadian Foster Family Association
declares the third week of October as Canadian Foster
Family Week: Local children's aid societies recognize

Knechtel Knows Service.
Years ago, people didn't make a big deal
about service. It was simply a part of
doing business. Small things like taking
someone's gmceries to their car was not
Only common, but expected. •
When did things change? How did
customers suddenly become consumers?
. At Knechtel, we haven't forgotten that
the reason we're in business is to serve
