Has size, not
accommodation
The County of Huron may be large
in size, but not in facilities. Those two
facts were brought out when the
Huron County Municipal Officers'
Association met in Exeter, Friday.
Huron Warden Brian McBurney
was s among those in attendance and
at the noon luncheon introduced two
visiting wardens, Jim Spence of Perth
and Bill Skinner of Middlesex.
McBurney said the three had com-
pared notes and he found that, despite
being the host warden, he had actual-
ly had to travel the farthest to get to
the meeting.
Spence is from Mitchell, Skinner
from Caradoc Township and
McBurney is from Turnberry
Township in north Huron.
The Huron Warden also advised his
audience that the county will be
hosting a meeting of the Association
of Counties and Regions of Ontario.
.However, because of the lack of ac-
commodation in Huron, the event will
be held in London.
"We're taking the county to the
delegates," he explained, adding that
he hoped the event would put Huron
in the spotlight.
At an election of officers held at the
conclusion of Friday's session, Hullett
Reeve Tom Cunningham was elected
president of the Association, suc-
ceeding Tuckersmith Reeve Bob Bell
in that capacity.
Other executive officers are: first
vice-president, Nancy Michie, clerk -
treasurer of Morris Township; second
vice-president, Winona Thompson,
clerk -treasurer of East Wawanosh;
one-year director, William Vanstone,
deputy -reeve of Colborne; two-year,
Albert Wasson, reeve of Blyth; three-
year, James Crocker, clerk -treasurer
of Seaforth. Huron administrator Bill
Hanly is secretary -treasurer.
An invitation for the group for the •
Lambton has
kids' offerings
Library programs for young
children begin again after March
break in many Lambton County
Library branches. Pre-school Story
Time, Tales for Tots, and Wynken,
Blynken & Nod are (he programs be-
ing offered this spring.
For children aged 3-5 there is Pre-
school Story Time and songs, rhymes,
stories, crafts, and activities. Tales
for Tots is a half hour program for
parents or caregivers and tots birth
- 2 years of age. There is no craft ses-
sion in the Tales for Tots program but
there are many puppets, songs,
stories and felt board activities to
keep the children entertained.
The library in Grand Bend will be
starting a new program called
Wynken, Blynken & Nod. this pro-
gram is being created to give working
parents the opportunity to bring their
tots to a library program. Children
aged 1-3 will go to the library dress-
ed in their pj's to hear bedtime
stories, sing lullabies, enjoy a snack
and of course hug their puppet friend
"SALLY" goodnight!
Library staff shy there are 10 good
reasons why parents should take their
children to one of these programs:
1) Because an introduction to books
is one of the most precious gifts a
parent can give a child.
2) )-- e -• '-ild learns more dur-
ing the ti , ears of life than any
other time ....a library programs can
offer a child stimulation for learning
during these years.
3) Because library programs foster
a love of learning without pressuring
the child which creates a favourable
attitude towards books and learning
in the child.
4) Because a child will soon
recognize the library as an important
source of pleasure and information.
5) Because the songs, rhymes, and
books used in the programs creates
a world of worlds for the child which
fills the child with the sound and
structure of language. -
6) Because a child will sense that
writing is "talk written down" long
before he/she begins to write, an im-
portant reading readiness skill.
7) Because the games and crafts us-
ed in the programs help develope eye
and hand co-ordination which is
essential for forming letters later on.
8) Because these programs provide
an opportunity for a parent and/or a
child to participate in a group and to
meet other parents and children with
the same interests.
9) Because a parent gets new ideas
on entertaining his/her child at home,
on long trips, or at the doctors office.
10) Because a child enjoys this -
special time with his/her parent
which helps build a good parent-child
relationship.
The following library branches will
be offering one or more programs for
young children this spring: Alvinston,
Arkona, Brights Grove, Camlachie,
Corunna„ Florence, Forest, Grand
Bend, Lambton Mall, Petrolia, Port
Lambton, Thedford, Watford,
Wilkesport, and Wyoming.
Participating in a library program
is educational and lots of fun too so
call the branch nearest you and
register your child today!
