ndicapped Association
adopt new policy priorities
The South Huron and
District Association for the
MentallyHandicapped at a
meeting Wednesday adopted
Prevention and Public
Awareness as new priorities
for its future direction.
It is understood that the
local organization is one of
the first to react to the
Provincial Government's
and the Ontario
Association's emphasis in
these areas.
President, Bob Southcott,
stated that this new em-
phasis in no way would
lessen its concern for the
services the Association now
provides for the han-
dicapped. It was felt, he said,
that these facilities were
being operated by active
committees and competent
staff. As a result, the Board
of the Association is now able
to turn its attention to these
new priorities.
In , doing so, the
Association accepted the
recommendations of a
Special Committee set up in
December, 1977, under the
chairmanship of Mrs. Pat
Wright. The Committee,
during the past few months,
has evaluated the persons in
the areas of Public Health,
Education, Public
Awareness and Parental
contact.
In its Statement of
Philosophy, the Committee
said that as much as this
Association is dedicated to
the care and rehabilitation of
thehandicapped people in our
homes and our communities,
they believe that those
conditions which are known
to produce mental Retar-
dation should be eliminated
or corrected.
For those children who are
unavoidably damaged, they
pledged to provide early and
quality intervention to
minimize the handicap as

much as possible.
Mrs. Wright said that
Mental Retardation can be
caused by any condition
which interferes with the
child's development before
birth, during birth or in the
early childhood years. The
medical experts now -say
that a very significant
number of cases are now
preventable.
In its report, the
Prevention Committee
recommended the hiring of a
full time person with a health
care and community service
background.
Reports of the various
Committee were given to the
members.
Mrs. Joan Smith reported
the progress of the Nursery
since its transfer to Dash-
wood.
Eleanor Scott reported on
the Huron Hope School
renovations at the J. A.
McCurdy School at Huron
Park.
The Executive Director
Don Campbell highlighted
the two residences in Exeter,
and the work being done to
introduce an Apartment -
Living programme.
Roland McCaffrey
reported that 12 new clients
had been added to ARC in a
Life Skills programme
recently, introduced. This
would bring the total to 62.
McCaffrey also stated that a
large Warehouse had been
purchased, through the
generosity of Dashwood
Industries, and that the new
Bakeshop had just opened
for business.
The film `Exploding the
Myth', produced by the
Ontario Association for the
Mentally Retarded,
highlighted some of the
occurrences which have
been going on in this area
through the de-
institutionalization process.
Many persons have returned
from Institutions and
resettled in communities.
The film was very thought-
provoking because it showed
that opportunities which are
now available to the han-
dicapped promote additional
skill development. Higher
skill development leads to
higher employment, and,
thereby, more benefits are
available to the handicapped
and the community.
Roll up your sleeve
to save a life , . .

Trees offer snow protection
Proper positioning of
trees or conventional snow
fences provides effective
snow control for Ontario
farm lanes, says F.H.
Theakston, School of
Engineering, University of
Guelph, Snow fences can be
erected now, but it's late to
plant trees this year.
"Install three rows of
snow fences on the
laneway's windward side for
best results. Place the first
fence 18 m from the
laneway, and the others the
same distance apart,"
Fences are an excellent
short-term solution, he says,
but trees provide permanent
snow control.
Next spring, close -plant
two rows of coniferous trees
on the laneway's windward
side. Plant the first row 18
m from the laneway, and the
second row 1.2 m further
back. Deciduous trees are
ineffective because they
lose foliage in the fall,
"When the trees have
grown to a height of 3 m,
they will keep most snow
from the lane. Even before
they reach that height, the
trees reduce the force of the
wind."
Where possible, position
fences or trees to block
prevailing north-westerly
winds, '
Farmers may obtain ad-
ditional snow control infor-
mation, free -of -charge, by
writing to Professor
Theakston. Send him a
sketch of your farmstead,
and describe your snow con-
trol problems.
"We have a device in our
Laboratory that simulates
snow and wind storms. We
will build a model of your
farmstead, identify
problems, and offer
solutions."

Announce
farm tax
changes
Agriculture and Food
Minister Bill Newman and
Intergovernmental Affairs
Minister Thomas Wells an-
nounced jointly today that
changes to the 1978 farm tax
reduction program will
redefine eligible property.
To qualify in 1978, a farm
property must have produc-
ed at least $4,000 worth of
agricultural products over
the year. Tie previous
qualifying amount was $2,-
000. In cases where the
owner rents the property to
a farmer, the value of goods
produced by the rented por-
tion of the property alone
must be valued at $4,000.
Under the farm tax reduc-
tion program, the Ministry
of Agriculture and Food
pays half the municipal
property taxes on eligible
farm property. The program
is administered by the
Ministry of Intergovernmen-
tal Affairs.
Mr. Wells said, "We will
be mailing the 1978 applica-
tion forms to owners by the
end of the year. Farmers
will then have until the end
of next year to apply for
assistance with their 1978
taxes."
TO THE RATEPAYERS OF
HAY TOWNSHIP
Having been nominated to serve as
councillor of Hay Township, and
since time will not permit me to call
on everyone, your vote on Nov. 13,
1978 will be appreciated.
