By Shelley McPhee
Duron County's Women
Today group has decided to
collaborate with the Con-
estoga College's Clinton
campus in offering a series
of workshops and seminars
entitled Leadership for
Women.
Instead of the regular
monthly meetings which are
open to all women in the
county, the group will be of -
feting six evening sessions
through the college. These
sessions began Monday,
January 19 and run Mondays
until March30.
The February 2 session
will deal with guilt, the
origins of the feeling, its op-
presive nature and how it
short circuits independence.
The class will also look at
ways to cope with guilt.

Children are safe
MITCHELL - Mitchell Police
Chief Larry Hembruff has
set the record straight by
reporting that children are
not being molested in town.
In an attempt to out an end
to the exaggerations and
rumors, Chief Hembruff
made a public statement to
ease the concerns of area
mothers.
Chief Hembruff said he
had no idea how the rumors
started, but stated there was
no truth to any of them,
particularly the story that a
ehiid was molested in the
Mitchell Lions' Park in the
summer.
Chief Hembruff went on to
say that he had been in
contact with the the local
schools and had talked with
the students.
He has re -assured mothers
that no harm has come to
any child through improper
advances and noted that t e
town is well protected from
such occurrences happening
through the active Block
Parents Program which
includes 75 volunteers.
scheduled as the February
16 workshop. It will study
why women compete, rather
than cooperate and will look
at different types of com-
petitive behavior. There will
be some discussion on how to
build more effective rela-
tionships between women.
How to say what you mean
and mean what you say in a
non-aggressive way will be
the topic of the March 2
workshop. In studying asser-
tiveness, the group will look
at ways to be confident in
asserting yourself.
On March 16, the course
will deal with political in-
volvement and how'Amen
can affect the political pro-
cess and lobby effectively.
Discussions will centre on
how to gather information on
issues and how to become
politically aware.
The final workshop will
look at the physical aspects
of mood changes and how
food additives, vitamins and
minerals affect the brain.
The March 30 class will
study the nature of the brain
and the substances the brain
cells release, resulting in
moods, altered behavior and
tolerance for stress. Specific
illnesses, like schizophrenia
and hypoglycemia and how
they tie into nutritional
habits will be studied.
The six workshops are of-
fered to air Huron County
women for a cost of $10. They
will be held from 7 until 9:30
p.m.
Already over 75 women
have shown interest in the
Women Today group that
was formed last fall and the
organization hopes to reach
out to more women through
Conestoga College.
Anyone interested in the
Leadership for Women
course may register at the
Clinton campus in Vanastra
or telephone 482.3458.
Once we have three or four
volunteers for this, we will
have a time for instructing
the volunteers.

development of a Christian
High School in this area are
invited to attend a meeting
