Puppets are
introduced
at banquet
On December 5 the South Huron
District Association for the Mentally
Handicapped held their annual
Christmas dinner, turkey with all the
trimmings. Director John Gray and
the executive formed an efficient staff
to serve the crowd of over 200 parents,
children, ARC adults and friends of
the organization in the South -Huron
Rec Centre.
After the delicious meal, Rev.
Hawley of the United Church Exeter,
addressed the crowd. He asked
"when did we last hear the chimes at
Christmas?" and referred to a story
by Erma Bombeck, where she
mourns the loss of joy and wonder
reflected in the eyes of a small child,
with a battered gift. Then he read a
humorous poem, "The Bike Before
Christmas", and ended with a tear
jerker about sharing Christmas with
everyone, the story of a Babyand an
old bum.
Director John Gray thanked Alma
Godbolt and all her committee for
organizing all that food; a lot of tvork
in areal feast. Song sheets were pass-
ed out, as Harry Klungel and Mrs.
Hawley led the whole group in a
medley of Christmas carols, with
Mrs. Marjorie Johns on piano. •
Then Arnold Mathers, superinten-
dent of programs on the Huron Coun-
ty Board of Education, introduced a
special set of puppets, "The Kids on
the Block", that famous set being us-
ed all over North America to in-
troduce handicapped children into
normal classrooms, in 47 states and
nine provinces.
• The set of eight puppets is taken to
a classroom before the handicapped
children arrive, to answer the kids
questions and set the stage for a com-
fortable integration. On September 1
the Huron County Board purchased
seven of the puppets; Mark, who has
cerebral palsy, plus'his wheelchair,
was purchased by the SH.D.A.M.H.
The puppets are repesentative'of all
races and physical conditbns, and
have their own taped programs.
"Valerie" has Spina Bifida; Joanne
has acne; Rennie is blind, and has his
own cane and Braille watch; Jennifer
is learning disabled, Mary Ellen is
mentally retarded; Brenda is obese;
Mark with cerebral palsy and his own
wheelchair; and Melody who is nor-
mae, to interact with the others.
A group of puppeteers are in train-
ing to take there "Kids on the Block"
to schools and other groups
throughout Huron County.
A band of Girl Guides from Exeter
helped out during the evening to
check coats and boots, run errands
and clear the tables. They did a great
job, too!
After the program, everyone mingl-
ed to vigil, and music was provided
for the ARC adults and anyone else
who wanted to go dancing.
Huron Centre staffer
talks to Exeter UCW
The December meeting of the
Evening Exeter United Church
Women, opened with each member
receiving a glass of hot cider and a
favour to wear.
Nancy (McLoed) Harland, a
councellor at the Huron Centre for
Youth and Children, was introduced
by Audrey MacGregor.
The Centre receives self referrals
from parents whose children are ex-
periencing problems, battered wives,
couples with marriage breakdown
and any other families or individuals
requiring councelling.
Nancy stcgssed that the services
were NOV y available for healthy
families who would like to improve
the quality of their relationships. The
counselling services are completely
free and are fully funded by the
Ministry of Communications and
Social Services.
A program, designed to help batter-
ing husbands, Men -Against Violence
has shown an 85 percent success rate
in assisting these men to understand
their behavior and overcome it.
Another program, Mediation, enables
divorcing parents to come to a more
amicable and positive agreement on
co-operating in raising their children,
no matter who has custody of the
child( ren) .
Nancy led an interesting exercise
with the UCW members. Everyone
had a blank sheet of paper pinned to
her back. The members wrote
positive, sincere comments on each
others papers. These comments were
to be things they really felt about each
other but seldom expressed. Each
member kept the sheet for an ego
booster for a bad day as well as her
Christmas present from her fellow
members of UCW.
Irene Dunn's group was in charge
of worship. Marjorie Tuckey, Alice
MacLean ana l.tnaa nawiey con-
ducted a very interesting worship ser-
vice on the significance of the gifts of
a dove, a candle, a ring and a bible.
A trio consisting of Linda Hawley,
Norma Hooper and Elaine Skinner
sang "The Snow Lay on the Ground".
Barbara Sharp and Audrey
MacGregor sang a duet entitled
"Born Is He, This Holy Child".
Everyone sang "Away In A Manger."
Lunch was served by Agnes.
Aungtr's group.
Following' lunch, Audrey
MacGregor, Unit Leader conducted
the business. the new slate of officers'
was read and approved.
