renewed acquaintance with
the noted Canadian author

Unable to receive visitors,
Mr. Clark spoke with Mrs.
Tench by telephone and
recalled for her his visits to
Clinton as a young boy. He
spoke highly of his aunt. Miss
Mabel Clark, who was editor
of the News -Record.
While we were wondering
just when Miss Clark edited
our paper. Ken Stewart was
able to come up with the dates
- 1917 to 1937. Probably many

Clark's tenure.

Act, and as a psychiatric facility under the Mental
Health Act.
Following the closure of _the_ Goderich Psychiatric
Hospital and its child care and adolescent unit, a County
Steering Committee, composed of staff and ad-
ministrators of the present health and social service
organizations, along with interested professional and
representive citizents have met over the last four months
to examine the gaps in mental health and other
specialized services for children and youth.
The formulation of an
operating philosophy, and a
generalized outline of ser-
vices have now been com-
pleted and will form the basis
for the conirnencement of
diagnostic and treatment
programs during the Fall of
t its year and into 1977.
Throughout the
deliberations, and policy
considerations -of the County
Steering Committee, stress
has been placed on the need
for a cooperative and in-
tegrated service • venture
among present health and
welfare agencies and
professionals, and a ..com-
munity team approach to
treatment involving both the
new Centre staff and present
resources so as tp best utilize
the Health Ministry funding
which has been made
available.
It is anticipated that the
new service will emphasize
programs geared to working
with children and adolescents
within their families.
assistance to the child ex-
periencing difficulties in the
education system, team
assessment approach for all
referrals to the Centre. in-
dividual and group treat-
ment, and preventative
programs - particularly
aimed at the pre-school
population.
While no firm commitment
has been made, it is an-
ticipated that the ad-
ministrative headquarters
for the new Centre will be
located in Clinton so as to
provide accessibility to as
many people as possible in
the County.
The Steering Committee
has arranged a public
meeting for Wednesday,
September 1, 1976 at 7:30
p.m., at. the Clinton Public
School to acquaint all in-
terested people with the
proposed service. At this time
also, a slate of nominees for
election held which will invite
.further nominations from the
floor.
As part of the agenda, a
panel composed of Dr. Bruce
Thomson. family physician;
Mr. Don Kenweil, Huron

Mrs. Joanne Jasper. Senior
Public Health Nurse; Mr.

Eckert, a natiVe of Seaforth, will
comamcnce their daties with the board
effective September 1, 1976, both at an
annual salary of $31,000.
In the recorded vote (requested by
Stratfordd trustee, David Teahen) the
board chairman Arthur Haid of Listowel
left the chair to vote on the two- Motions
made to hire the two superintendents.
Mr. Haid said that his reason for voting
was to ensure that the programs started
by Mr. Tokar and Mr. Easton would be
continued for the children from kin-
dergarten to grade 8 in the 19 separate
schools in Huron and Perth Counties.
The recorded vote on the first motion
to hire Mr. Mills was as 'follows: for -

Mr. Teahen concluded: "The recorded
vote -speaks for the trustees concerned."
Stratford trustee Ron Marcy said:
It is cheaper to hire two supervisory
officers than to go back to the time when
we only had one superintendent and two
consultants."
Mr. Marcy said that certification in
special education does not qualify a
person for a supervisory position.

grade 1 teacher at Our Lady of Mount
Carmel School at Dashwood, effective
September, 1976.
In answer to Mr. Looby who reported
he had been- -questioned following the
newspaper report of the last board
meeting in July withregard to rates paid
to board owned bus drivers.. Jack Lane,
superintendent of business, stated in the
rate paid to those drivers who provide
the regular morning and afternoon
service,' a care allowance is included for
each driver. These drivers are
