Census takers will be calling on householders, ,but a major , part of the census is being done through mailed question- naires. Census eominissioner for this area is Elmer Hunter, R.R. 3, Goderich, whose juris- diction includes Goderich and e Clinton and the townships of Hulett, Colborne and Gode- rich. This year's census is cal- led a five-year census because a census was last taken five years ago. The 1966 census is less complicated •than the statutory 10 -year Census taken in 1961. The population census is concerned only with basic matters and has five questions to be answered by the general public. The ' questions are: name?; relationship to Bead of household?; Sex?; Age?; and . marital_ status?. The house- holder ' will also bei' asked if - the dwelling is owned• or rent- ed, The agriculture census also has a much reduced number of questions for farmers. Since most farmers tend to special- ize now, they will have only a limited number of questions to answer because there are few general questions in the fes.:census,— _ The census takers will also holp. in a merchandising cen: sus which will not actually take place until the end of the year. However the census takers will list all the busi- nesses in this- area. To the businesses. which are listed, the Dominion Bureau of Sta- tistics will mail, out a census questionnaire after • the end of the year, which' also will be simpler than previous qu.- tionnaires. Although it appears the questions asked are few and simple the DBSpointed out these questions provide a great amount of information. Between the ten-year censuses estimates are made by the DBS but these estimates are not perfect and thus a smaller census is neeued tb adjuetethe" figures. • About 60 per cent of the census takers hired for .the 1966 census will be women because warren are more like- ly to be available for the short census- period than men. However, in • rural areas the •majority of census takers are men who have some know- ledge of farming. The DBS ; pointed out that all peisons are required by law to give the information requested by the census tak- er. However,theadded dd d.edthat all answers given to census' questions are confidential and census taker roust take • an oath of secrecy on hiring: The DBS' said anyone having any doubt about the census taker's identity should not hesitate to see the . official credentials which he or she carries. c, Enumerators in this area: Mrs. Ella Jewitt, R.R. 1, Clin- ton; James Neilans, Londes- boro; Mrs. E'eanor Bradnock,, Auburn; Mrs. Mabel 'Flynn, A.R. 1, Clinton; Mrs. Marilyn • Forbes, RR. 2, Clinton; Doug- ' las Stirling, R.R. 2, Bayfield; _ Mrs. Barbara Betties, R.R. 2, Bayfield; Mrs. Gladys Cham- bers, Clinton; ;Mrs..

It is a reminaer that age, dis- ability and illness confine mane of our fellow citizens to their homes or robins for prolonged periods of time. It is one special day' to re- member them.

The -after was conveyed to MODA by Howard Aitken of, Goderich, on behalf of the town council. Mr. Aitken •showed the as- sociation a sketch of Gode- rieh's tourist . informatidn , •cen r._ a and, asked if MORA' would move -its offices here from Stratford. Rens Free '' • • they chose the location "1f for their offices they would have a year's free rent," Mr, Aitken explained later. MODA members declined the offer saying they felt Stratford was a good central location,.. and moving would disrupt • the staff and require public re-educati,gn to a new location. Mr Aitke n did not come away empty handed, however. He was presented with a cheque for $5,000, a grant provided by the. Ontario de- partment of tourism and -in- formation. Mr Aitken is president of the Midwestern Regional Tour- ist Council, which will use the $5,000• for general tourist pro- motian in the MODA area, he said. Others attending the meet-, log fro mthis area were Robert Squires, Peter Mac - Ewan, John Freeman, W. Hunte Cl itton and John Sully, of Goderich, and Charles ,Thomas of Brussels.' Randall Speaks Speaker at the meeting was minister of economics and development Stanley J. Randall: He notedthat a MODA etuniy recommended agricul- tural .and livestock specializa- tion, as well as increased at- tention to forestry and the recreation sand tourist indus- tey. In the past two years, he said, 27 new branch plants have located in the region. The Ontario Development Agency, acting wider his de- partment, has helped small businessmen in the area get $154,000 in loans, either ,, iy guaranteeing loans,, or assist- ing companies negotiate with , regular lenders, . Mr. Randall said. Mr. Randall said, any re- gional development structures created under the new pro - ffics ,gram will'"" not disturb the existing authority of munici- pal and county councils. He praised MODA for past effos is and asked it to con- tinue to initiate its own pro- grams and nnnke proposals for provincial action. ° New directors approved a deficit budget showing esti- mated receipts for the 1966- 67 year at? $55,534 and ex- penditures $62,986.

Ttie CAS had made an ap- peal through county news- papers for funds to send the children to church camps in the • county. Miss Clare McGowan, direc- tor of the HIuron' CAS, said 13 donations had been receiv- ed as of Monday, five ivi• l20 or more. '"We are very grateful for the response to the appeal for funds le help children go to camp," said .Miss Mc- Gowan.. She said the CAS had a total of 24 children it wants to send to camp, including one family of four children. "But I don't know .whether .wail 'he children will be able to go," said Miss McGowan. "Some of these children have never been to camp before. "Each of the different church camps charges a- dif- ferent rate. if we had one child going to each of the five camps is would cost a total of $92, and that doesn't allow them any spending money. Miss McGowan said the rates vary from -$15 a week to a Y, maximum- of $22.50 --a- week. "This is a new venture this year," said Miss McGowan. "It's really an exciting pro- ject.

D..Weldon, acting;-supeririteiident; intro- duced the guest speaker for the occasion, Rev. Charles Scott. chaplain at .the Ontario Hospital, London. Rev. Scott explained the • significant relationship of the _hospital °aides -ands attendants with the pastoral duties of the hospital chaplain as part of tee mental health nursing team. •Tlie speaker laid emphasis on ,he important role of the aide and the attendant on the nursing team as "the creation of a therapeutic atmosphere with their, continual presence with the patients." Rev. Scott stressed the ideal future expansion of the in- service training progran _to accommodate the new .gradu- ates with advanced education in the psychiatric therapies. He stated that such on-the-job training is the best way to supply the Ontario Hospitals with the much-needed profes- sional staff. Valedictorian Paul Carroll of Benmiller, told the gather- ing that not many years ago the aide and' the attendant in the mental hospital played a minor role " —T'I1isFieraeutc vlue' wasT limited: custodial care pre- vailed," said Mr. 'Carroll. "Often, brute strength was prime requisite to the . ques- tionable. therapies of locked door and barared windows," lie said "Modern treatments and, above all, the new drugs have altered our role. A new, at- titude has allowed us to play a more integral part. A Vigor- ° ous program of in-service ed. ucatlen has provided access to 4 -more and to better tools and presumably, l lawledge and understanding have been in- stilled." He said aides and attend- ants have assurried a vital posi- tion 'in the nursing chain: Without the knowledgeable contact between patient and nursing .assistant, the eon; dimity of reh•abili'tat}'on .is wrent and -torn. If we"' -fail, then, the more active thera- pies. 'are without hope.- :"There_ewesb'eeeep'o i. ural eese' :.. as yet, untouched. Eventually, this in-service training pro; grana from which we graduate today .will be greatly expand- ed. The psychiatric 'attendant 'and _the professional psychia- tric nurse will become one and the same." - - Presentations • The joint directors of nurs- ing, miss S; Chisohlni, li.dg.N., and Mrs. R. A.
