Inspection follow- ed and the prize woggle won by Bob Seli. Akala Murray Friden- burg introduced Ron Zimmer as the new Akala for "B" Pack, which will now be entirely sep- erate from "A" Pack and the boys will go up through to Scouts in their own respective Packs. An investiture ceremony followed when Sixer Bill Hilbert presented New Chum David Walker. Welcome to cubbing David. Now all "Bt. Pack mem- bers are invested. Instruction period followed. Ron Zimmer passed 1st Star knots; Jim Miller, road safety and Adelaide Ahara inspected collections and models done by the boys for collector and toy - maker badges. Peggy Ahara was introduced and welcomed to the meeting. She will help out for the pre- sent time, as extra leaders are still required due to the large Packs. The need for teaching and training in the many dif- ferent phases of the Cub pro- gram presents a problem when there are not sufficient leaders. Many of the boys passed their knots and road safety. Keep the bulbs, seeds and plants coming. Next week will introduce two more sections in One Sided Story Two young boys entered a corner grocery store, held up the store owner and fled with a petty amount of cash. Their deeds were the topic of irate citizens' conversation the next morning. A young Eagle Scout applied mouth-to-mouth artificial res- piration in a successful at- tempt to save the life of a man whom he had rescued from the swirling waters of a flooding stream. His actions were little heeded by the public. On the same day a 14 -year- old boy reported as usual for.an after school part time job he had secured to sustain hisfam- ily until his injured father could resume work. Other than his family, no one knew of this lad's efforts. Incidents similar to these occur every hour of every day in the United States and Canada. In many cases delinquent youths receive much publicity while deserving ones receive none. — Delhi News Record ,o gas= Reeve Adair Reports Explains Choice for International 1st Star work. Sincere appreciation is ex- tended to Murray Fridenburg for the grand job of leadership he has given "B" Pack and in giv- ing up two nights a week to this worthwhile job. As Akala of both "A" and "B" Packs he has been a real leader and fine example to the leaders and boys alike. Thanks from all of us in "B" Pack Murray and while we now have our own Akala, we hope you will come down any night you can to see us. The meeting closed with the Grand Howl, Taps and Cub prayer. 0--0--0 PACK "A" The weekly meeting started with the Grand Howl. Inspec- tion followed and the neatest Cub was Terry Reid. Attend- ance was marked and dues were collected. The boys then went into work groups. One group passed the patron saints test. Another group passed 2nd star knots and a third group passed the mes- sage test. The boys then returned to their sixes and repeated the Grand Howl and the Cub pray- er and the meeting was dismis- sed. By W. E. Elliott GODERICH—County coun- cillors took unfavorable note of critical articles in the press re- garding the site chosen for the International Plowing Match in 1966. Discussion followed mention in the report of the agriculture committee, present- ed resented by Reeve J. Roy Adair, of Wingham, chairman. It said: "Your local site committee met with representatives from the Ontario Plowmen's Associa- tion regarding the possible lo- cation of the 1966 match. The committee from the Ontario Plowmen's Association has se- lected a site at Seaforth as their choice. We hope that an over- all committee will be formed soon to commence planning for the 1966 Plowing Match in Hur- on." "There has been a lot of en- quiries from all over Canada, HUMIDIFY AIR Houses equipped with storm windows and doors and weather stripping may cause the air to be too hot and dry. This con- dition causes abnormal evapor- ation from skin and mucous membrane and is harmful to the lungs, sinus and respiratory sys- tem. To prevent this irritation use some humidifying agent to moisten the air in your home. REV. KENNETH TAYLOR Suggests Pilot Project for The Graduate Retarders GODERICH—"Pilot" projects for care and training of retard- ed children after leaving their special schools may be formed in the Huron -Bruce area, Rev. Canon Kenneth Taylor indicat- ed in accepting from Goderich Rotary Club a cheque for $200 toward the work for retarded • children. The club hopes to make this contribution annual- ly. "I think we should in Gode- rich set up a pilot project," he said, " and Walkerton may do the same thing. I think we should have something that will combine the facilities of a shel- tered workshop, social and rec- reational opportunities and pro- bably some continued educa- tional work, perhaps manual training or further actual study work. The idea of setting up a workshop alone is not feasible in this or any small community, but to set up some kind ofcom- trP *CUSTOM RADIOS •BATTERIES •SLIP COVERS, all patterns •BUMPER JACKS •MUFFLERS •TIRES and TUBES For a complete selection in „ox Auto Accessories see Wingham Motors PHONE 357 - 2720 bination, under careful super- vision, would mean that gradu- ates of our schools would have a sort of clubhouse to go to. There are commercial firms that can turn over certain work and it would be something for the children to do. That sort of facility in any community is feasible if we set our minds to it, and with it there must be continued educa- tion of the public so they will recognize that the retarded per- son has a rightful place in the community, the same as any normal person. "At annual meetings of the Ontario and Canadian Associa- tions in Vancouver, Winnipeg, and Halifax this topic of adult services came up; it is becom- ing an acute problem. In big cities they have made quite a few attempts to set up what they call sheltered workshops, and they are successful up to a point, but in this area we have to take a longrange view and work out a program to take care of the mentally retarded from the cradle to the grave. The schools may not get larger, but the number of graduates will keep piling up. Ten years from now we will probably have in this community of Goderich 20 adult retardees past school age. While we have made great pro- gress in our school here, we have done absolutely nothing to provide for those leaving school' Order Fish Huts To Carry Names Fish huts used in ice fishing must in future bear on the out- side the name and address of the owner, according to a new regulation. This affects es- pecially ice fishermen in the Lake Simcoe District and par- ticularly on Lake Simcoe where approximately 4, 000 fish huts are operated on the ice annual- ly. The regulation is as follows: 1. No person shall occupy a hut on the ice of any water for the purpose of fishing unless it hears on the outside the name and address of the owner. 2. No person shall leave any hut used for fishing on the ice of Lake Timagami in the Ter- ritorial District of Nipissing or of any water south of and in- cluding the French and Mattawa Rivers and Lake Nipissing after the 31st day of March in any year. expecially Eastern Canada," said Mr. Adair. "We should have 150,000 people in 1966. You have all some local news- papers with articles — I do not know where they got their in- formation, but there is no truth in them. The site committee went over the county and pick- ed out locations suitable to ac- commodate the match, and that required 50 acres, with 50 or 60 of high, dry land for the tented city. Then we reported to the O.P.A. what we had done. After the Caledon match they came up and we met in Clinton, and had four possible sites throughout the county, right from north to south. "We toured the sites and • they did the choosing, and were influenced in no way by the committee. They chose the one they considered met the re- quirements. There is a tremen- dous amount of detail about this; you have to have good plowing land, not too many fen- ces, and access is a main fea- ture. We had with us represen- tatives from the Ontario Police, and they do not like sites on a highway. Cars come 40, 000 a day, starting about 9 a.m., and after 1.30 or 2, we were told, it drops. You have to get them in in 21 or 3 hours. This property at Seaforth is a little off the highway and the en- trance can be off a county road. "I want this cleared up: there was no influence put on our O.P.A. committee.' Reeve Stewart Procter, Mor- ris: "We exercised no influence whatever, or put any pressure on the Ontario Plowmen's As- sociation. All we did was show them the four different sites andi let them decide. They had representatives from police, Hydro, telephone companies, and these also advised the 0. P.A. in regard to facilities, and on parking and available water supplies." Reeve Adair: "The commit- tee of 20 should be picked be- fore spring. The land is under cultivation, but will be seeded in spring, and we should have about two-year-old grass for the tented city." Reeve Tom Leiper, Hullett: "It is the feeling that Huron County Plowmen's Association should carry this through, work- ing along with the agriculture committee." Warden Forbes: "I am pleas- ed they picked the site they did, because if there is any money to be made Huron should be able to get it, not the people of some other county. If a loss, it would be on the part of Hur- on, Reeve Glenn Webb, Stephen: "A lot of stuff in the papers has been quite bitter, and develop- ed into a sort of family fight which won't do us any good with potential customers. We in Stephen, of course, were disappointed when our site was not chosen. I was privileged to be a member of the group at the Caledon match, and probably the most important thing we found out is that holding a plow- ing match is a whale of a big job and needs the whole -heart- ed co-operation of everybody concerned. Last Thursday the agriculture committee were in the area where the match will be held and I can assure you all it is a good site. "We have two facts: the match is coining to Huron in 1966; the site has been chosen, and whatever disappointment or disagreement there is nothing to be gained by further accusa- tions and denials. I call upon everyone who worked so hard to get the match here in '66 and those who have worked for their own particular sites to use their energies now, that are probably being wasted in other forms, to make this a success." (Applause) Resolution Asks Coverage for Nursing Hones GODERICH—Huron county council has concurred in a pro- 4 posal of Brussels council that the Hospital Services Plan be extended to cover aged and in- firm persons no longer requiring active treatment in generalhos- pitals so that they may enter recognized nursing homes of a standard approval by the coun- ty health unit. The Brussels resolution was referred to the legislative com- mittee, and its chairman, Reeve William Ball, Seaforth, brought in a recommendation of concurrence at the closing sit- ting. The resolution, signed by Reeve Calvin Krauter, set forth that many persons are retained in hospitals longer than neces- sary for active treatment but cannot be discharged, as there is no suitable place for them to go. "A high standard of nursing home can and does provide this type of service for aged and in- firm, for those who can afford it, and it is felt that these bene- fits should be made available and applicable to all such peo- ple. Lighting the way of men to betterment is the finest profes- sion known.
