Hostel for psychlatric patten
considered by social services
Huron County Council was told last
Thursday that its Social Services
Committee was presently considering
entering into an agreement with
Pinecrest Manor Limited at Lucknow to
establish a domicilliary hostel which
would provide accommodation to
psychiatric patients requiring services
over and above ordinary room and
board.
It was explained that as patients are
released from the Psychiatric Unit of the
Alexandra Marine and General Hospital
at Goderich, they were often in need of
such accommodation.
Goderich TownshipReeve Gerry Ginn
asked if this meant that because the
Goderich Psychiatric Hospital had been
closed that costs were now beginning to
fall back on the County.
John McKinnon, of the county Social
Services Department, explained that
such was not really the case as even
when GPH was in operation, such ac-
commodation was still called for in some
cases.
He also informed council that no
decision has been made at this time but
that a recommendation in this con-
nection would likely be made to council "
ata later date.
The Social Services Committee
recommendation that the 1977 rate of
$12.00 per visit as requested by the
Victorian Order of Nurses, be accepted
was given council approval,,
That rate increase is still subject to the
approval of the Ministry of Community
and Social Services however.
Dear Readers...

Synod of Toronto and
Kingston sent a statement to
Prime Minister Pierre Elliott
Trudeau protesting the use of
profanity by public leaders.
(How many of you saw the
government-sponsored ad-
vertisement in a recent issue
of The Canadian Magazine
which used a reference to
"hell" as the attention -
getter?)
The Presbyterian
statement said: "We feel a
need to express our. concern
about the increasing lack of
restraint on the part of public
figures in regard to the use of
the name of God, often
coupled with expression that
.... infringe upon the ex-
clusive prerogative of
Almighty God to judge and
condemn."
The churchmen also en-
treated the prime minister
"to refrain from the use of
such expression in order that
you may set before this nation
an example of good taste,
respect for the Christian faith
and reverence for what is
sacred to millions of citizens
of Canada".
What kind of an impression
did such a statement make on
the man who made "fuddle-
duddle" a household word?
Who knows? But it is likely
that such a reasonable
request and petition would be
more successful in the long
run than a recommendation
to impose strict censorship
methods on the entire nation.
A recent editorial from the
United Church of Canada had
this to say about profanity:
"We grant that a lot of the
swearing and blasphemy
engaged in by "nice people"
is due to thoughtlessness and
sloppy speech habits, but we
would all do well to'remind
ourselves that Christ was
explicit on the, subject and
said it was far more im-
portant to watch what came
out of the mouth than what.
went into it. (Matthew' 15:17-
20)"
The place to start, as far as
I'm concerned, is in your own
corner. When someone uses
profanity, react with
something like, "Pardon?" It
won't take long before the
person will grasp the idea
that he or she is to remove the
profanity from the sentence.
You may even find that the
average person doesn't mind
because it is a fact, people
often don't realize what they
are saying or why.
+++
I recall an experience I had
when I was teaching school
many long years ago. One
youngster could swear like a
trooper, and I wanted it
stopped. Every attempt I
made to help him clean up his
act went unheeded until I
Police

finally warned him, "The
very next time I hear you use
such language I'm ging to
take some drastic action."
It was only a day or two
later that I overhead him
insert a few choice remarks
into his conversation. I asked
him to come inside.
"The only reason people
use such language is because
their vocabulary is limited,"
I told him. "So I'm going to
help you improve your
vocabulary."
I went to the shelf and got -

tionary," I told him. "Every
time you feel the urge to use a
curse word, open the dic-
tionary and find some other
word to express yourself."
The poor boy looked at me
in painful dismay.
For the rest of that day, he
carried that big dictionary -
at his desk, on the
playground, eating his lunch.
He was not permitted to put it
down even for a second.
In the morning when he
returned to class, I asked
him, "Will you need the
dictionary today?"
"No," he assured me.
And do you know what? He
didn't either.'I Once in a while
he'd stumble and start into
his old routine .... and then,
he'd remember that awful
day with the dictionary and
he'd look at me in the full
knowledge of what he was
saying. He learned to control
his tongue, at least in my
presence.
As far as I was concerned,
that was Step One. What
better place to start than at
the beginning?

Annual Red
Cross appeal
for funds
The annual Red Cross
campaign for funds will begin
next week and volunteers will
conduct the canvass through
the week.
Any donors missed in the
door to door canvass may
forward donations, to any
bank or contact a member of
the Maple Leaf chapter of the
IODE.
, Again this year the canvass
is co-ordinated by the IODE
group and the campaign
chairman is Mrs. Frank
Currie.
The work of the Red Cross
and its numerous services
depends on the generosity of
the public. The two main
services of the 'Red Cross
offered in the area are the
water safety program to train
instructors and leaders to
teach swimming and water
safety and the blood tran-
sfusion service that supplies
blood to all Ontario hospitals
through volunteer blood
donor clinics.

for board,members to discuss
the area because .they ' are
familiar with it but when the

better be self explanatory and
complete or it will be hung up ,
there for months.
"While it looks like we're
