While the,Board -of Directors is ngotiating a long term lease arrangement for facilities at Clinton, the centre occupies two rooms at the Clinton office of the Huron Health Unit. So far only the director has been officially named although con- sideration is now being given to applicants for • other positions with the Centre. In the -meantime Mr. Keillor is making use of the time to study and evaluate the detailed needs the new service will be designed to provide. "I don't want to hurry this too much," he observes. "We really want to get this right at first shot." The director has been travelling to other centers studying the organization and operations of similar ser- vices. A good example of that is the Sarnia Lambton Center for Children" and Youth. The two centres— have a similar mandate, are set up under an elected Board of Directors and are funded through the Ministry of Health. Mr. Keillor is also meeting with representatives of related services in Huron County, and officials from agencies with which the new Centre will work. "1 am pleased to see the Boarct'of Education is looking at us," he notes. "We share the same concerns." Mr. Keillor observes that while the Board of Education is certainly responsible for the education process it is "maybe not entirely ap- propriate for the Board to haa to become too involved in cial services". have had one meeting with Superintendent of Education Don Kenwell and I think we see eye to eye. The onus 'is certainly on us (the Y24; 1977 • Guth r wants t Centre for Chil ren and Youth) to work closely with the other agencies like the Board of Education." The Huron Centre for Children and Youth operates under an 11 member Board of Directors with Mrs. Helen Bartliff of Clinton as chair- man. They recently named Mr. Keillor as Director.

"Very seldom in our lives do we get a chance to shape something, to really set it on its path," he observes, "I think it's easier to shape . things from the start than to reassemble the pieces of a group or organization already in operation." Mr. Keillor is married and the father of two daughters aged 11 and 14. Before long, Mr, Keillor will be joined' by a number of other staff members. Can- didates for secretary are now under review. The future is also likely to see the hiring of two social workers, three persons trained in the field of child care, a psychologist, a NE' IDEA BOOKS yl psychiatrist on at Least a part time consultative basis And possibly a nurse. "I am concerned that we find the best manner in which to deliver our services," Mr. Keillor explains. "Perhaps 1t ' would be best to open part time offices in various cen- ters throughput the county, probably it would, and such decisions will affect the final make up of our staff. It is decisions like those which the new director feels must be madewith proper care and consideration. So the final program of services and the staff which will be responsible for deliverying them, will be tailored, toward the needs of adolescents ..in Huron. _._ , WEST HURON' FARMEli1['� DANCE LUCKNOW LEGION , Saturday, February, 26, 1971t Music By, SOUND UNLIMITED. -82.per. person , A series ofbeautifully illustrated idea books from Bantam/Hudso'n on bedrooms, bonus rooms, remodeling and vacation homes.
