There are people, in Huron County who harm their children. They need help; more important,their children need help. These children are being denied protection which could be afforded them by continuance of the child abused program. Asin the December 8 issue of the Goderich Signal -Star, the program was "started over a yea; ago. It was aimed at public education, iden- tification and reporting procedures involved in cases of child abuse. It enables doctors, police, teachers, hospitals and the general public to become aware of; child abuse and to report actual cases or potential that Huron County's social problems to the-agenmy for, --4 workers would have the time assistane '6^ From), its start in March '76 to August '77, the number of reported cases had almost doubled, to 32. Without the program, many of these probably would have gone unreported. Allowance of a `budget item of $20,000 would assure us to pursue and expand the present program. But the Government won't allow it. And that makes me cross! Yours truly Lynda Smith CHRISTMAS MAIL When drear December usher's in Her brood of short, dark days, And we, with yet another year Stand at the parting of the ways, - Like sunlight o'er a wintry trail To cheer us comes the Christmas mail. When fir trees raise their slim green spires In crisp, cold northern air, And balsam boughs within our homes Their spicy odours bear, How precious, as the old year ends, Our fragrant memories of friends! What tho' the snow upon the sill Is blown by winter's gale, There comes a warm glow to our hearts When comes the Christmas mail, - Each treasured word. from friends unseen At Yuletide keeps their memory green.

'from page 1 marriages for reasons that to Joseph would seem foolish? Who doesn't know children who could benefit from a better example set by their parents every day of the year? And there's more to learn from Joseph, too. It takes people to support people. Not everyone can be in the limelight and get the breaks. There needs to be someone in the background, doing the routine things., making the mundane decisions, providing the necessities of life.

They take discipline, the kind of discipline that made Joseph the kind of special man he was. +++ This Christmas and in the year ahead, the world needs more Josephs .... more people who stick to their guns about the things that really matter, just going about the day to day business of getting the necessary and important things done. We need people who will love when it is dif- ficult to love; who will give when it means sacrifice; who will care when no one else does. We need to remember Joseph .... and think . how differently the promise of Christmas might have turned out if he hadn't done his,. hest as a man, as a husband, as a parent. +++ The Keller Christmas this year will he about the same as., other years recently. It will begin on Christmas Eve with the children's service at Berea -By -The -Water Lutheran Church here in Goderich. Christmas Day will be spent at home when all my children, their friends and an uncle and an aunt from Toronto will sit down to dinner after church service in the morning. Christmas night at the Keller house will he open house when we're expecting many of our good 'friends to call. On I3oxing Day, we all go to Dashwood for Grandma's Christmas hash for about 70 people. May I take this opportunity again this year to extend to you my hest wishes for a Blessed Christmas and a joyous, prosperous New Year. As one of my friends pointed out in a Christmas greeting she wrote: May 1978 bring you the greatest gift, a happy heart.
