To help winter on its way each
month has its own special thing -
January a thaw, February a ground '
hog day, and March, well' it's the
lion and lamb , saying. Last
Saturday was the first of March and
one of the radio forecasters thought
the weather was a "pussy cat".
Here it , looked like the first of
March came in like a crow. At least
there were several flying over the
elds on the fifteenth north,
looking for cobs in the corn fields.
Here on Sunday morning the
eather is rather deceiving - from
side the house it looks so nice and
unny - outside well the sun is still
hining but oh that cold north wind
nd cold snow everywhere. The
ipley area was fortunate to ,miss
e heavy snowfall and poor
visibility experienced in areas not
very far inland from here last
Wednesday and Thursday, Poor
road conditions did cause cancella-
tion of school • buses for one day:
However Bruce County and Huron
Township plows have the roads
cleared.
The Ripley and District Horticul-
ture Society held the February
meeting at the home of Mrs. Bert
Irwin with 31 members present:
Correspondence was read concern-
ing the Gladioli Conference to be
held at Humber College,' and also
on the workshop-to be held. in Owen
Sound. A letter was read in
regards to a proposed bus trip from
the Mennonite Church in Elmira,
but, it was tabled until further
suggestions are investigated.
To clarify.a former, motion it was
moved and seconded that the
society "help" with the purchasing
of trees and shrubs for the medical
centre. A paper on "Plants we'live
on , . was given by Adeline Hackett
telling of their origin and their
uses. Mrs. Hackett also reported
the meeting. Lunch was served by
the committee - Mrs. Finlay
MacLeod, Mrs. W. J. 'MacKay and
Mrs. Earl Lohnes.

Helen Allen Is
Guest Speaker For
Children's Aid
The' Bruce County Children's Aid
Society is very pleased to be able to
have as its guest speaker at the
annual meeting on March 12, Miss
Helen Allen, the originator of
Today's Child, a newspaper feature
which has led to the adoption of
more than 7;000 Ontario children
since 1964. Most of them': were of.
mixed . race, or with 'physical
disabilities, or of ages not readily
adoptable. This newspaper carries
this coluinn.
Today's Child began in The
Toronto Telegram where Miss
Allen was 'a staff member. In 1967
it reached into other parts of the
-province and now appears in 22
daily newspapers and 155' weeklies.
With the closing of The Telegram
in 1971, the Ontario Government
took over Today's Child and Helen
Allen with it. Now the combination
picturoLstory of a child needing
adoption is handled by the Ministry
of Community and Social Services
which makes it - available to
interested newspapers.
Televsion is also contributing to
this wonderful work of appealing
graphically to people to open their
heartS and homes to parentless
Children. CFTO-TV in Toronto
launched "the, Family Finder" in
late 1969 at Miss Allen's sugges-
tion. Offered without cost to other
Ontario stations, it is seen on '12
across Ontario.
In 1971 Governor General Roland'
Michener 'awarded to Miss Allen
the Order of Canada's Medal of
Service.
Though she is childless, her
service to Canadian children won
her the title of "Mother of- the
Year" conferred in 1967 by the
then Prime Minister of Canada, the
late Rt. Hon. Lester Pearson.
In 1973 Miss Allen travelled to
Vietnam with. Mrs.. Victoria Leach,
Adoption Co-ordinator for Ontario.
They were sent by the Minister of
Community and Social Services on
a fact-finding mission regarding
the possible adoption of Vietnam-
ese children by Ontario families. A
number of Vietnamese children
have come to their new parents and
new life since then and this very
personal kind of immigration is
increasing.
At the Annual meeting -of the
Children's Aid Society, which will
be held March 12 at' 8.00 p.m. at
the Walkerton District Secondary
School, Miss Allen will show' a
movie taken at the time of her visit
to Vietnam called "25,000 Orph-
ans". There is no charge,.
