Children's Ai Society
openChristmas bureau
In cor-ordination with other
local community groups and
volunteers, the County Child-
ren's Aid Society will again
be undertaking sponsorship
of a Christmas Bureau in each
of the five towns in Huron
County. In Wingham and
Goderich, the Society will
again merge its programe with
the Salvation Army as co-
sponsor.
"This will be the third year
that the Society has co-ordinat-,
ed its Christmas Assistance
Program in the five County
towns in order to utilize better
the support and volunteer assist-
ance on behalf of families and
children in the various areas of
Huron County, " noted Child-
ren's Aid Society Director,
Bruce R. Heath.
"In most communities in
Huron County, church and
community service club groups
have traditionally assisted
people at Christmas. The local
Christmas Bureau, through a
co-ordinator in each town, acts
as a clearing house to elimin-
ate duplication or jointly meets
any special needs that come to
Children's Aid attention. In
sponsoring a Christmas Bureau,
it has been our intention to
make the best possible use of
the voluntary donations which
totally fund the program."
"Any authorized representat-
ive of a church or community
group may check our index
either at our office in Goderich,
or with the local co-ordinator,
Similarily families needing
assistance can contact us or
be referred by any community
group or concerned individual,
"Up to December 2, the
Society had processed approx-
imately a hundred twenty-five
requests for Christmas assist-
ance, and other requests cont-
inue to come in daily. Fortun-
ately, the Society has already
received donations and commits
ments of help from .many
church and service clubs, but
we anticipate many more
requests for help this year than
last, and costs have also risen
since 1973."
Last year many individuals
and several family groups, not
affiliated with a service club
or church organization, when
doing their own shopping
made it a point to purchase
an extra gift, article of cloth-
ing or a game which could be
used by a family group and
donated these to the Bureau.
Several families undertook •
to sponsor partially or in total
the costs for an individual fam-
ily. When one considers the
generally affluent level of gift
giving these days in most
Canadian families, it would not
seem unreasonable to appeal
for consideration of those less
fortunate and assist according
to one's personal means. Those
donating money are asked to
forward same by cheque or
money order to the Society
office in Goderich, 46 Glouch-
ester Terrace, marked "Christ-
mas." Income tax receipts
will be issued.
Donations of new gifts -toys
and games for all age groups,
books, sports equipment,
including good used skates, --
and articles of new clothing
such as mitts, scarfs, caps,
socks, underweat, for all age
groups will again be needed.
Articles of good used clothing
would also be welcomed but
not items that are in need of
extensive mending or hope-
lessly out of date in style.
Donations of gifts, toys and
clothing should be taken to the
local Bureau depot in the
week of December 9 to 13 if
at all possible, as sorting and
distribution will be handled in
the week prior to Christmas.
The Children's Aid Society
has requested that no perish-
ables be donated as there are
TRACTOR HEADS TO SCOTLAND - A tractor well over 50 years old belonging to Ken Reichert,
of Ilderton is now on it's way to Scotland where it will be preserved as a museum piece. In 1922
Case was sold to Robert Carswell of Kirklandhill Farms in Scotland, and it was loaded on a large
float for shipment to Toronto on the first leg of the long journey. Prior to being sold the unit was
stored at the farm of the owner's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Orland Reichert, R,R.2, Hensall.
no facilities for storage, and in
most cases provision of the trad
itional dinner is handled by
cheque or purchase voucher in
lieu of a hamper. Others have
special diet needs which nec-
essitate individual purchases
by the recipient.
