Goriest° :grad helps 93.children to ca
BY JIM HAGARTY
Generous donations from individuals and
groups helped 93 Huron County children attend
camps this summer.
John Penn, director of Family and Children
Services (FCS) for the county, said on Friday
that the number represents a sharp increase
over the 39 youngsters sent to camp last year.
Penn explained that the success of the camp
program this summer was due to the hiring of a
full-time staff person to co-ordinate the entire
operation.
Nancy Bellinger, a 20 -year-old early
childhood education graduate from Conestoga
College in Doon, came to FCS in June by way of' - ."The program provides a really important

Librarian
writes note
Behind every book banning there's increased
sales.
A letter from Albert Brown past president of
the Ontario Library Association to the Huron
County Board of Education indicated that the
board's reaction to the book controversy in
Huron may have been the best thing that
happened to the books.
The letter points out that if the board wanted
Brown would send them a list of books that
could use similar attention to boost ratings.
The letter reads:
"Huron County Board of Education
103 Albert St.
Clinton, Ont.
NoM 1LO
Dear Sir:
I take pleasure in congratulating you and the
Board for bringing to the attention of thousands
of Canadians of all ages, three of the best novels
ever written in the English language including
a modern Canadian classic.
However, I would like to protest the banning
of only the Canadian book, The Diviners by
Margaret Laurence. The other two - Of Mice
and Men by John Steinbeck and Catcher in the
Rye by J.D. Salinger - are, at the moment, in
less demand in Canada and could use the
notoriety of a good old fashioned Ontario book
banning.
By the way, there are 8 hard back copies,and
10 paper -back copies of The Diviners in
branches of the Huron County libraries at the
moment, but when I called Bill Partridge, the
Huron County Librarian, on August 22, he said
they were all out on loan but more were on
order. I hope the teenagers of Huron County
will be patient. All three books are worth
waiting for.
If the Huron County Board of Education
,would be interested, I would be happy to send
them a list of other neglected books in need of
attention and worthy of their censure.

Past President

Association
Member of the

handled but added that he was satisfied the way
it was done. He said he knew of no firm in
Goderich that could handle the job the way the
commission wanted.
Not all of the work went out of town. An ad-
vertisement calling for tenders to do the
painting in the PUC office resulted in seven
•bids. John Stanley of Goderich was awarded
the job for $995.
The total cost f the job is $5,686. Of that the
$995 goes to Sta ley for painting and $4,691 goes
to Goudie forheir part of the work. Worsell
explained the Goudie job will not be more
than the figure bid but could be slightly less.
The work involves redecorating four private
offices and the utility's main office. The TOUr
offices will be repainted and carpeted and new
drapes installed and some new furniture will be
purchased for Lawsoirs office. The main office
will also be given a facelift and some furnittairet,
purchased to provide a rest area in the lobby of
the office. Some upholstered partitions will be
_installed to cut off some of the office equipment
from the view orcustomers.
The redecorating will be done after the
painting is completed.

TO BE REPEATED
Penn says that overall, about 120 children
were helped this summer by the FCS and the
addition of Miss Bellinger.
He added that at least one student, and
possibly two, will be hired again next year to
co-ordinate the program.
Miss Bellinger found working with the,
children a good experience and is hoping to find
a job at a day care centre.
