The event was held in the Dash- wood Community Centre. Don Nisbet, of Wardsville, a vice-president of the Ontario Association was guest speaker and gave a brief outline of some of the recommendations of the Williston report on care of the mentally retarded. Ile said that if Ontario adopts the report it will become one of the most advanced of all provinces or states in social legislation. I'1r. Nisbet encouraged the group to continue it's efforts to establish a workshop for adult retardates. As a provincial vice- president he installed the exec- utive board nominated and elected, with past president Ivan Sharrow conducting the election. The banquet and business meeting was chaired by Mrs. G. Godbolt, president of the local association. Mrs. N. r ZURICH CITIZENS NEWS p elect of fie Herumingway, on behalf of the Association, presented a plaque to the Grand Bend Caravan of Alhambra,Lodge as a mark of appreciation for the help given by the Caravan to the Association, especially in providing premises in which to operate the day nursery for pre-school handicapped child- ren, In accepting the plaque, Jerry Arnold said that the Grand Bend Caravan was unique in having its premises used as a school in a Lodge organized for and devoted to the care of the Mentally Retarded. Case Van Raay, chairman of the banquet and special events committee introduced members of the Academy of Musical Arts of Sarnia who with students of the Exeter branch of the Academy provided fine musical entertainment. An exciting part of the program was an auction of contents of a purse, conducted by Doug and Jack Riddell. The bidding was fast and ran high. Mrs. Gladys Van Egmond and Stewart McEwan joined the regulars for the old time music, dancing and sing - a - long on Monday afternoon. Kinettes, Carol Finch, Mary Helen Clifford, Janet Jewitt, Carol Bowker accompanied by Chrystal Jewitt led the sing- song on Wednesday at the monthly program and tea spon- sored by the Clinton Kinette Club. The residents of Huronview were happy to have a return visit from the Jolly Millers, a group of entertainers from Benmilier, for the Family Night program. The variety program included a one act play, several action songs, a sing -a -long by the group, drum selectior by Ernie Pfrimmer with Mrs. Barry Millian accompanying on the piano for the musical numbers. It has been very encouraging this month to have had the assistance of some new volunt- eers. We are afraid it will be impossible to carry on some of the programs without more help, and we would be pleased to hear from anyone interested in volunteer work. 0 Schedule for Zurich midgets Dec. 1 Grand Bend vs Zurich Dec. 8 Mitchell vs Zurich Dec 12 Zurich vs Goderich Dec, 15 Clinton vs Zurich Dec. 16 Zurich vs IJensall Dec 20 Zurich vs Mitchell Dec. 22 Goderich vs Zurich Dec. 29 Hensall vs Zurich Dec. 30 Zurich vs 1lensall Jan. 2 Grand Bend vs Zurich Jan 5 Seaforth vs Zurich Jan. 12 Grand Bend vs Zurich Jan. 19 Hensall vs Zurich Jan. 20 Zurich vs Hensall Jan. 22 Zurich vs Clinton Jan. 24 Zurich vs Grand Bend Jan. 31 Zurich vs Seaforth rs Reports were received in printed form from the various committees and from Mrs. W.
