Home My WebLink AboutTimes-Advocate, 1981-10-28, Page 7Foster parents , honored By IOANNI BUCHANAN An appreciation night was held for Huron County's 60 foster parents at the White Carnation In Holmesvllle Thursday evening. Following a banquet and greetings from Grant Stirl- ing, Reeve of Goderich Township and Fred Haberer, Warden of Huron County, a speech was given by McDaniel Phillips. Phillips, an employee of CKNK-TV and radio for the last six years, said both foster children and foster parents need the same things - love, encourage- ment, good humor and un- derstanding. "I empathize with your responsibilities and I applaud you," he told the parents present. Phillips explained that he was on the board of directors for Participation Lodge, a vacation and recreational facility being built to serve adults with severe physical disabilities. He said the construction of a facility like Participation Lodge was due to people like foster parents because they are people who care. "It's thanks to people like yourselves who realize things won't get done unless someone gets up and does them," he said. In conclusion, Phillips stated, "I have discovered one more definition of love here tonight - love is being a ``foster parent." Following Phillips' speech, awards were given out to three volunteers who have served 10 years with Family and Children's Ser- vices: Mrs. Greta Stokes and Mrs. Isabel Bannerman, both of Wingham and Harold Stanbury of Goderich. Foster parents honored were Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Darlow of RR 4 Wingham for 10 years service; Mr. and Mrs. Cornelius Brand of RR 3 Clinton for 15 years service; and Mr. and Mrs. Grant Williams of RR 4 Wingham for 20 years service.

T -A photo Country towns are studied The 8th annual agricultural history con- ference is bringing the days of the old country town back to life for one day on October 31. The conference is held each year at the University of Guelph to promote in- terest in various chapters of Ontario's agricultural history. "When we look at On- tario's past, there is a tendency to consider the countryside and the town separately, forgetting the in- terrelationship between the two," says Professor Alan Brookes, of the University of Guelph history department. "The countryside was dependent on the town for entertainment and supplies, while the town's prosperity, particularly in the pre -1980 period, was linked directly to the countryside as a market town." The conference program starts at the infancy of On- tario's country towns with a look at the town and country planning in Wellington comi- ty, particularly Fergus, Elora and Guelph in the- include discussions about 1820s and 1830s. modern-day planning of Some of the other sessions Black Creek Pioneer ACCOUNTING GRADUATE — Ruth Bray, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Donald Bray of Thames Road graduated recently from the Accounting course at Fanshawe College.

To capture the spirit of the relationship between the town and the countryside, two speakers plan to inter- view residents of Puslinch township about their ex- periences coming into the town of Guelph in the 1920s and 1930s. "The conference usually attracts about 100 history enthusiasts," says Professor Brookes. "But this year we've tried to broaden the appeal to the general public by including information about the local area." Everyone is welcome to attend the conference in the University of Guelph Arts Building, Room 117. Registration fees, luncheon included, are: adults, $25; senior citizens, $16; and students (no lunch) $7.
