A Canadian Mental Health Association would not replace the medical services present now, but rather complement them by enriching existing services. The goals of the CMHA are to: • maintain mental health and pre- vent mental illness through educa- tion, life skills programs, and work adjustment training • promote understanding of life stresses and mental illness • encourage improved treatment and community services for those concerned about their mental health needs and those of others. The activites that a local branch might undertake could include • community education through special programs, workshops and self-help groups. • information and speakers on men- tal health issues • counsellipg referral • special displays • community friends (volunteers for nursing home residents) • activity centre programs (ex - psychiatric patients) Niue months on drug emerge The first of 33 persons charged after an early morning drug raid at the end of August had his day in court on Mon- day in Goderich.

In the raid, 33 persons were charged with 71 charges, 32 of them for trafficking drugs. The investigation was the biggest operation in the county for approx- imately six years.
