have been lost through the years. A brief

A survey niade recently for the Gordon

For Huron, the expansion of industry in
central Ontario is a potential asset, and may
well ,be for Bruce. As industry gobbles foOd-
producing' land in the Lake Ontario counties
it imposes an increasing. task upon the port of
Goderich. In the past ;few years the trucking

far east as Guelph,•Brantford and St,- Thomas

oats and barley unloaded from thel-kke- freight-

• "Normal" Development
Q. How can you be sure that
a baby is developing in- a
normal manner?
A. Judging the developmental
progress of a child is a matter
for a physiCian. The trick is in
knowing what is meant by
"normal". The word is often
used .but hard to pin down.
M4ny People tend to consider
"normal" as suggesting "desir-
able." Parents can spare thein -
selves much worry and con-
cern by taking children to a
doctOr for _regular checkups,
You can 'help by keeping a
simple record of the child's
early progress. If trouble de-
velops in later years it may be
very necessary to know such
seemingly unimportant things
as the age at Which the young-
ster sat alone, reached for ob-
jects, er started "building"
bouses with blocks. "Baby
books" usually give an outline
of what to look for and, pro-
vide space for making speCial
notations as the child grows
and develops.
