Many of you will know
that Joanne Walters is on

to Steve Buchanan in a

Presbyterian Church.
I know you will join me
in wishing Joanne and
Steve all the best in the
years ahead.
Joanne should be back

October 2, so telephone
her with your Tid Bits of
information.

Word was received this
week that Preston
Haskell of St. Catharines
has been named
_ Photographer .of_the Year
for 1978 by a national
association of
photographers. The
announcement came in
Winnipeg at the annual
national convention and
competition of the
Professional
Photographers of
Canada.
Haskell won the honor
by having four of his
prints accepted in • the
national competition and
winning first place
honors in the bridal
division, merit awards in
both the portrait and
industrial division, and
an acceptance award in
the child study division.
The 39 -year-old
photographer is the son of
Mr. and Mrs. Earl W.
Haskell of Goderich. He
grew up and went to,
school in Goderich.
Haskell, who operates a
photography studio in St.
Catharines, also received
his Masters Award in'
Photographic Arts at the

The women of Berea -
by -the -Water . Lutheran
Church hosted a special
meeting last Wednesday
evening at which Bonnie
Graham, Pat Wheeler
and. KeLly_Co1borne spoke
about the various aspects
of mental retardation.
The meeting began
with a movie entitled
Jeremy. It was the story
of a woman who had a
mentally handicapped
child, her struggle to
accept the fact and her
son's difficulty to adjust
to being shut off from his
mother due to her
-`negative feelings toward
him.
its...Tid Bits... Tid Bits... Tid Bits... Tid Bits
The movie ended
happily, with the mother
and the son finally getting
'together, but it was
clearly indicated by the
three speakers who
followed, that feelings of
rejection aren't un-
common in parents of
children who are
developmentally han-
dicapped.
Bonnie Graham spoke
about the work she does
with the children in the
Queen Elizabeth Wing at
Victoria Public School.
She demonstrated a new
visual type com-
munication which helps
young and old who are
unable to speak. It's
called Bliss Symbols and
looks confusing at the
start.
-- Pat Wheeler -discussed -
the programs at the
Bluewater Centre for the
Developmentally Han-
dicapped, and said
volunteers are always
needed there. The basic
requirement for a
volunteer is the desire to
be of help ... to care about
the people at the Centre.
Training is provided
willingly for these people,
she said. -
Kelly Colborne is in
charge of the group home
on Keays St. where seven
mentally handicapped
adults are now living. He
spoke of the progress
these people make when
they are taken out of the
institutional atmosphere
and placed in a homelike
setting. He looks forward
to even greater in-
dependence for these
people in the future.
This meeting was
another in the series the
ladies at Berea -by -the -
Water have planned
which deal with the many
physical and mental
problems of human
beings. There has
already been an evening
on the deaf and one of the
blind.

TV Ontario people were
in Goderich all this week
preparing part of a fall
and winter series on
retirement. Joan Reed
Olson is heading up this
project, and „ is at-
tempting to zero in on
people who are enjoying a
happy, productive
retirement
retirement ... or folks
who are presently
preparing for a happy,
productive retirement.
Mr. and Mrs. W.E.
Elliott were interviewed
for the show and some
film footage was taken of
them and their friends.
Just when the show will
be aired still isn't known.
Watch this column for
those details.

•It was good to see
Paula Butler and her
father Karl at the com-
mencement exercises at
GDCI Friday evening.
Paula and her family
came to Goderich. from
their home in Nova Scotia
so that Paula could be
with her classmates on
their big night.
Another special feature
of the evening was to see
Harold "Bettger return to
GDCI to extend his
o -o n-gx a -t -u 1 a tions to
students as they passed
by to pick up their
diplomas. Bettger retired
in June after many years
at GDCI.

Flo Whyard, daughter
of W.E. Elliott, a member
of the Legislature in the
Northwest Terrirories, is
stepping down after four
years, according to The
Whitehorse -Star.
Mrs. Whyard.
presl;ntly minister of
health and human
resources, has said she
will not run in the up-
coming territorial
elections because, "You
can't reach the top of the
pile unless you can slash
your opponents to bits,&,,
and I'm not going to do
it."
One frustration off Mrs.
Whyard is dealing with
the Department of Indian
and Northern Affairs.
"Indian affairs and
northern development is
a completely impossible
portfolio," she said,
"because you have two
conflicting things." She
believes the portfolio
should be split down the
middle.
Following in her
father's footsteps, Flo
Whyard plans to do some
writing when she finishes
her p`o1Ttl.eal career. She
has been asked to do a
history of the Yukon and
will also write a
children's book dedicated
to her children and her
grandchildren.
She has recently been
named to the board of
directors of the Canadian
Council of Social
Development.
Mrs. Whyard was in
Goderich recently to visit
her father, W.E. Elliott
and his wife Anne.

I had a letter this week
from the Deputy Minister
of Fisheries and
Environment . Canada,
Donald D. Tansley. He
writes that one off his high
priority tasks is to
promote and assist the
marketing of Canadian
fishery products, par-
ticularly during
November which has
been claimed Canadian
Fish and Seafood Month.
Tansley is asking that
The Signal -Star make
promotional plans now ,to
inform the public about
seafood products and
help increase the sale of
fishery products.
Of course, the Signal -
Star is not the only
newspaper to be asked to
actively support the
campaign. Newspapers
across the entire nation
are invited to get in-
volved.
Let me see now. We
could run information on
the protein value in fish
with none of the
e�iolesTe OT or the
calories. How about a few
fish recipes?
Good thing Joanne is
coming back to write this
column.

Guests in Goderich
earlier this. week were
Vivian and Willard Shaw,
the parents of Ron Shaw,
former Signal' -Star
reporter -photographer

CARE in Bangladesh.
Vivian and Willard

with their youngest son,
Rick who took over
Ron's Visual Arts
business here. Rick is
)I
probably better known to
Goderich people as
Richard Gibson; the voice

area news events seen on
CKNX-TV and radio, as
well as on the Kitchener
stations.
The Shaws were also
among the thousands who

festivities at the Inter-
national Plowing Match
this week in the Wingham
area.
