"In eight years here, I have gained more experience as an architect and planner than anyone in the city could in 20 years," he explained.

The timing to pursue and expand their own strengths was critical as recalled in the words of Hill's father who told him to "always leave a party when it's at its best." They may be leaving the party but they will not lose their association and working relationship with a county they have helped to shaped. "I think we have had a tremendous ha - pact on the county and inspired an attitude of awareness of heritage and the value of small communities," Borgal said. "I hope we, have contributed to the area and saved some buildings of value which has also precipitated the private development of streetscapes." Through a high-level of quality, a con- sistency in their approach and a "feeling for tiiie� 4 linty" Hill and Borgl 'have instilled a p in the building 40* of the small communities.

"We've tried to get people to recognize what is intrinsically Huron County. The county has trouble believing in itself and in many cases we've had to convince people, in preparing plans, that they have something worth preserving," Hill after a stint in the county planning deparbnent, opened the G.oderieh office in 1976. Borgal, now a renowned museum architect and high-tech expert on the deterioration of materials, joined less than a year later. Their business association may be less pronounced in future, but their work is now an intrinsic and integral' part of the county and its lifestyle. -evidence hrHuron County-aad-the-diversity r Singing Valentine project was fun and profit for sorority CLIFTON_- February_ was a busy month for the inerberssof-theZeta Omega Chapter - of Beta Sigma Phi.

A variety of techni- ques is necessary, as not everyone learns to read in the same way, or at the same rate. They stressed the importance of access to books for pre-schoolers, saying that you can never read too much to your children. Research has shown that those who learn to read early have been read to regularly in addition to having supportive parents who expect them to succeed and are willing to accept approximations as good effort. The toddler who babbles with an upside-down book is actually beginning to learn about reading. The consultants also brought several books along as examples of good material for pre-schoolers. The business meeting and pledge training were conducted by Vice -President Joanne Poelman. Plans for a dinner and theatre outingwere discussed. Zehrs and IGA tapes were collected, and Sally McNichol was the draw winner.
