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. Maternal ••.••• Continued from column 7 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. (News -Record photo) 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 See column 3 BUSINESS AND PROFESSIONAL DIRECTORY REPAIR SERVICE Clinton Electric White -Westinghouse 0 Appliances • undL SALES & SERVICE APPLIANCE REPAIRS ELECTRICAL MAIN- TENANCE. 90 ALBERT ST. 482-3646 IESEL Pumps and injectors Repaired For all Popular Makes Huron Fuel injection Equipment Bayfield Rd.

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. • PHOTOGRAPHY BY JAMES FITZGERALD Specializing in WEDDINGS • PASSPORTS INDUSTRIAL WORK 482-9502 or 3890 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. fXE DOLLAR SAVER NOW ON SALE IN 3 COUNTIES ONLY 10c "Where the buyer meets the Seller." 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.
