When we have to use news
of the social life of the News -
Record staff to fill the
column, it's like scraping the
bottom of the barrel. Well, not
quite literally, but the point is
that some of you good people
of Clinton and vicinity must
have been away over the
holiday weekend or had
visitors. How about phoning
or sending some news in to
the paper? Anything to save
you readers from this
writer's "gibberish" and
quotes.
Editor Jim, wife, Lois and
children Andrea and
Christopher spent the
weekend in London.
The Gibbs had former air
force friends drop in Monday

So you give a dollar, two
dollars, five or ten or
whatever when the canvasser
calls at your door. It's gone -
you know to a good cause - but
specifically for what? Many
of us never learn - but being
the trusting souls that we are,
we hope it's used for the best.
Some time ago a news
release was received from
the Ontario March of Dimes
and rather than tossing it in
the waste basket I hung on to
it thinking that when there
was room I might add it to the
column. just in part. Here
then in brief:
On Sunday, February 12 the
Ontario March of Dimes staff
welcomed 16 physically
disabled adults to the first
winter camp sponsored by the
organization.
The 11 staff members were
on hand to ensure that all
campers participated in spite
of their handicaps. Great
ingenuity was used in
creating adaptive programs.
Ski-doo runners, attached to
wheelchairs, enabled ' these
individuals in wheelchairs to
skate on Long Lake. Inner
tubes were used as toboggans
as they provided support for
the ones with poor balance.
Everyone participated in an
ongoing snow sculpturing
contest. Wintario covered one
third of the cost with the
remainder being made
possible through donations to
the annual campaign.
Holmesville news
By Blanche Deeves
Morning worship service
was held in the Holmesville
United Church Sunday
morning and was well at-
tended. Rev. John
Oestreicher told the children
a story "rich and his enemy"
before going to Classes. Mr.
Murray Lobb and Mr. Hugh
Lobb received the offering.
Personals
Congratulations and good
wishes go to Mr. and Mrs.
William Norman on their 40th
Wedding Anniversary.
Welcome to Holmesville
Bob and Nancy Smith and
children Tami, Tracy and
Terry now residing on the
Bob Storey farm.
Get well wishes to Mrs. Don
Duff who has been confined to
hospital.
We are happy to hear Edna
Jantze is home from Clinton
hospital and on the road to
recovery.
I would like to express my
thank you to Mrs. Irene
Cudmore for doing the news
last week while I was a
patient in Clinton Hospital.
Music concert
Temperatures soared as
about 1,100 fidgeting children
and beaming parents packed
the CHSS auditorium until
they spilled out into the halls
to hear the fifth annual Huron
County music concert last
Wednesday evening.
About 550 pupils from
Brucefield, Vanastra,
Clinton, Seaforth, Hullett,
Blyth and Walton public
schools performed for the
audience of 600 adults.
Barb Bosman, music
teacher and one of the
organizers, said she was
impressed with both the
crowd and the talent of the
choirs and bands.
"I think it's really
something to get this many
kids together. Lt's even a
thrill for me and' I hear kids
sing all the time.
Despite the success of the
concert it has been agreed to
hold it every second year,
because rehearsals demand
too much time, she said.

tested for rabies, and three
positive cases were iden-
tified.
Of the 21 dogs examined,
only one was found to be
rabid, and only one cat died of
rabies during the year.
Of the wild animals brought
in for testing, one bat was
rabid, nine of 15 foxes were
found to have rabies, and one
skunk had died from the
• disease.
The health unit hasn't yet
compiled rabies statistics for
the fira.t months of 1978.
Unnecessary vandalism left a number of Clintonlans
without their morning edition of the London Free Press
on Friday. Clarence Nellans and Jim Sfraughan
discovered these damaged editions of the paper at the
arena parking lot when they arrived to work on Friday.

Maternal deaths down
For the past five years,
there haven't been any
maternal deaths in Huron
County hospitals.
This is only one of many
statistics contained in the
1977 annual report of the
Huron County Health Unit.
In 1977, there were 861
births to residents of Huron
County. Although there were
no maternal deaths, five
babies were stillborn ; there
were five neonatal deaths (up
to 28 days after birth) and
three infant up to one year of
age) deaths in the county.
The county's birthrate has
fluctuated constantly during
the five years from 1973 to
1977. The biggest year was
1976 when 900 were born while
the fewest births were the 849
recorded the previous year.
In a report submitted by
Catherine Walsh, director of
the public health nursing
program, Miss Walsh reports
prenatal classes across the
county are in greater demand
and attendance is increasing.
Other clinics and classes
which attracted the most
attendance during the year
were the pre-school clinics,
and the dental and health
education programs.
Miss Walsh reported,
"Mental health has in-
creasingly absorbed the
public health nurses' time."
In 1977, 970 mental health
contacts were made by the
nurses.
The nursing director added,
"Close liaison is maintained
with the Alexandra Marine
and General Hospital
Psychiatric Unit in Goderich
and with the Loddon
Psychiatric Hospital and
their mobile team, who run a
weekly mental health clinic
at the Exeter Health Unit
office."
The annual report also lists
the number of communicable
diseases reported during the
year, none of which proved
fatal.
Among the diseases
reported were 17 cases of
diphtheria, six cases of
hepatitis, 116 of scarlet fever
or streptococcal sore throat,
three newly diagnoses cases
of tuberculosis, 10 cases of
veneral disease and 16 cases
of food poisoning.
Miss Walsh said most, if not
all of the 16 cases reported in
the scarlet fever and strep-
tococcal category, would be
throat infections, rather than
scarlet fever.
In the area of rabies con-
trol, health inspectors in-
vestigated 97 complaints in
1977 and found 16 positive
cases of rabies.
The year before, there were
109 reported- cases of rabies,
and only eight of these proved
to be positive.
In 1977, 17 cattle were

One often finds Judges or
Justices of the Peace asking
an accused person whether he
has or desires legal counsel.
What if a person can't afford a
lawyer?
If a Judge does not mention
it to a person, that person will
usually request an opportunity
to speak to counsel before they
enter a plea on a charge,
whether guilty or not guilty.
For those who cannot afford a
lawyelr the Ontario Legal Aid
Plan may provide a cer-
tificate. The granting of these
certificates is based on
financial criteria and in terms
of the offence or cause of
action involved. An individual
can then take the certificate to
a lawyer willing to take his
case.
As well, duty counsel ser-'
vice is available at provincial
and family courts. Their
primary function is to advise
accused persons on their first
appearance.

The field beside my house is
used for snowmobiling. I
realize that such machines are
noisy but these machines
seem to be more so. Are there
no laws requiring mufflers or
the like?
Snow vehicles must be
equipped with a muffler in
good working order and in
constant operation. The law
prohibits the use of cut-out,
straight exhaust, gutted
muffler, hollywood muffler,
by-pass or similar devices
upon the snow vehicle. Any
required components or
devices cannot be removed,
modified or rendered
inoperative.
These regulations do not
apply where the snow vehicle
is driven in a racing area
sanctioned as such by the
council of the local
municipality within which the
racing area is located.

I needed 32,600.00 to make
emergency repairs to my
home. I couldn't get a bank
loan and being desperate 1
borrowed from a finance
company. I now think that the
cost of the loan was excessive.
Is there anything I can do?
The Unconscionable
Transactions Ikelief Act gives
a person the right to have a
court determine whether the
cost of his mortgage, small
loan or financed consumer
purchase is harsh and
unreasonable.
Whether or not there is a
substantial discrepancy (the
court will not concern itself
with minor discrepancies) in
the cost of the transaction
may be determined by con-
sidering the market rate of
borrowing in the particular
location and at that particular
time.
