According to Mrs. Ethel Poth of Bayfield*
the recently retired archivist of the society,
' Mrs. .giber Popp and Mrs. Doris Batkil
probably work the hardest as the society's
secretary treasurers, These women, apart
from bookkeeping, do everything from sen-
ding out letters informing members of up -
corning meetings to writing the minutes of
these meetings.
Mrs. G. Emerson is the society's Assistant
Archivist. She is always ready to rush over
to the Goderich Archives to retrieve some
sort of information for the curious. Mrs.
Poth said she has decided to retire because,

The creation of interest in Huron's youth

achieved by awarding prizes for essays
and historical Models. The essays are
assigned by teachers in Huron, schools and
are read by a panel of judges, They . are
generally about Huron County and many
youngsters trace their family history, The
models are shown at community fairs by
judges. The judges are appointed wherever
the fair is.
"I can remember one model that was
simply amazing," recalled Mrs. Poth. "The
boy built the exact replica of a bridge, in-
cluding each trellis."

In the 18th and 19th centuries) govern-
ments shied away from dealing with social
problems.
Caring for the sick and indisposed was left
mainly to individuals, churches and other
charitable organizations to attend to.
Though it was a full-time job for many of
them, the people who worked in charitable
institutions were essentially volunteers.
The present century brought the birth of
universal tax-supported•programs in health,
welfare and education. The political thrust
e
for more government involvement came
from early socialists who believed that
underserved privileges were perpetuated by
non-interference.
The old system did indeed have its pro-
blems. The churches looked after their own
parishioners first. Icrnong non-sectarian
charities, some causes were more popular
than others. Unfortunately, the less -popular
ones did not receive as much attention.

society diminished. Governments took over

much of the work that was formerly per-
formed by religious communities. The
nature of the family also changed. In an age
when the family unit embraced grand-
parents, aunts, and uncles as well as
parents and children, the handicapped, sick
and aged were often taken care of in the
home rather than in public institutions. To-
day, the separation of the immediate fami-
ly, with more young people leaving home
earlier and more marriage break-ups, has
given rise to a host of new problems which
must be dealt with by society as a whole.
