THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 16. 1978 CAS help 200 families BY JOANNE BUCHANAN It may be a bit premature for some people to start thinking about Christmas but those at the Christmas Bureau at Huron County's Family and Children's Services have already been thinking about it for many months now. While most people have only one or two families to think about at Christmas time, The Christmas Bureau has about 200 families to consider and that's the reason for their early thoughts of preparation. Marian Hindmarsh, social worker and overall co-ordinator of the volunteer Christmas Bureau, explains that, through the bureau, each needy family is sent a cheque of $5 for each child in the family and if help is needed with Christmas dinner, an amount for the food is added to that cheque in proportion of the family's size. The money that allows the bureau to do all this comes from the people in the communities of Huron County. Last year $7,000 was donated to help 180 families and this year the bureau hopes to -raise about $9,000 as they expect to have many more families on their list. The Co-ordinators under Mrs. Hindmarsh in each of the five county towns, set up and man depots in their towns where toys, clothes, books, skates, tricycles and anything a family could use, may be deposited by people. In Goderich the depot will be at The Salvation Army at 18 Waterloo Street from December 4 to 8. All• recipient families will be contacted between December 11 and 15 and the parents of the families may then go to the depot in their town and select Christmas gifts for their children, Over half the children in the families being helped are teenagers, says Mrs. Hindmarsh, so more than just toys are needed. Too often people think of Christmas is only for children and they forget the older ones in the family, she says. CO-ORDINATED FOR SEVEN YEARS As a co-ordinated ef- fort, The Christmas Bureau has been ino operation for about seven years now. Before this, several volunteers would pitch in and help pack Christmas parcels for families in need and then, volunteer Dorothy Scott, would visit every known needy family in the county, taking the par- cels to them. "This was an enormous amount of work in often grim driving conditions," says Mrs. Hindmarsh, The Christmas Bureau, because it is now a co- ordinated effort, saves duplication of work, explains Mrs. Hind - marsh. The families who need help get help and they also get what they need. Families who are in need at Christmas can either be referred to the Christmas Bureau or they can contact the bureau directly them- selves. Letters are sent out to all agencies working with families in order to get referrals. Letters are also sent to service clubs and other groups asking for help or donations.

In his address, he gave a brief summary of his military service during the war years He ad- dressed some six hundred students and parents on the purpose of our symbol the poppy. He explained to the assembly how the poppy became the symbol of remembrance for those who died during the first world war. It was on April of 1915, close to the Battle Line, that Canadian Army Medical Officer, Colonel John McCrae, while assisting the wounded 1 would like to thank everyone very much for their generous support at the polls on Monday. It was most gratifying to me. It will be an honor and challenge serving you for the next 2 years and I will do my best to make decisions which will be to the betterment of Tuckersmith Township. ROBERT FOTHERINGHAM and dying observed close by in a muddy field, red poppies growing around plain wooden crosses. This sight inspired Colonel McCrae to write a small verse entitled "In Flanders Field". This verse has immortalized the poppy as an emblem or symbol of Remem- brance as we know it today. Comrade Maguire concluded his address by reminding the assembly that the Flanders Poppy is a bond between generations, between soldier and civilian, past and present, and is a token of.remembrance. I believe we owe Comrade Maguire our heartfelt thanks and gratitude for donating his time and research in spreading the true purpose of our Legion to our young people. We extend to him the Legion's congratulations for imparting the real purpose of our November 11 ceremonies and the true purpose of our remembrance symbol, the Poppy. At the conclusion of the address, a book called "Reflection 1978" was presented to Comrade Maguire by Mr. French on behalf of those assembled. Color television thats picture perfect.
