Santa. visits foster kids
The Foster Parent Association (FPA). of.
Huron County held its first Christmas arty
for foster families, Saturday in Brucgfield.
They hope to make it an annual event.
Reorganizes{ one year ago the FPA is open
to all foster parents in the county and is an
organization where parents can offer support
and encouragement to each other, through
workshops, discussions and general meet-
ings. All foster parents are sent a monthly
newsletter in which they may voice their
concerns and ideas. This newsletter also
keeps them informed about workshops,
meetings and seminars that they may attend.
At present there are just over 50 homes
providing needed care to children.
This year the FPA annnanred a canoe race
on the Maitland River from Wingham to the
Wawanosh Conservation Area. This is an
annual event that will be held each May, the
Saturday before Mother's Day to raise funds
for the group.
The FPA says it is because of the support of
the people in Huron County that the race and
other fundraisers that Santa, his elves and
clowns were able to present a gift to each oD
the, 80 children who attended the party
Saturday.
A Christmas sing song and dance numbers
by the "Brophy Girls" of Lucknow put
everyone in a festive mood.
' A potluck supper and fell' wship was,
shared' by all. All in the spirit off/Christmas.•

Every time you.open the door of your cat,
you could tie getting into your doom boat.
That is unless you look at this long piece
of strapping. It is tagged with the name:
seat belt. If you strap this . piece of
equipment around yopr waist you could be
saving your life.
Usually, In a car, there is a beeping sound
that is supposed to remind you to put your
seat belt on. Listen to this, it's not just
another sound, a car makes. You should get
into the habit of just putting on your seat
belt. it only takes a minute to put it on. And
that could be a very valuable minute in your
life.
Some people think seatbelts are just a
nuisance, but they aren't. If you have a
•small chi d, make sure you get the proper
car seat for your young one to ride in. After
all you want to make sure they get all the life
they can. Don't hang onto your child. You
may think that you can hang on to your child
but the impact of a car crash will draw the
child from your arms.
It's not a waste of time, it just takes a little
"click" and your seatbelt is on.
You should have your car serviced every
once and awhile to keep your car in good
shape. So then you hopefully won't need
your seatbelts. `•
So remember that one minute it takes to
do up your seatbelt could save your life.
Don't take any chances, put those seatbelts
on.
