The Huron Expositor, 1967-06-29, Page 7Need Foster Parents "jt is easy t� find homes for fair, curly-haired blue-eyed baby girls without problems,- but we do want more people really' in- terested in the child who .has problems. Won't you, help us?" In these words, Miss flare McGowan, Local Director of Huron ' County Children's Aid Mciety, appealed to the 37 embers of Huron County Coun, ciI at their session in Goderich last week. She reported that the society now ,has only six babies looking for adoption homes, with 20 children on adoption probation, One of the six babies is almost a year 'old and a Ronian Cath- olic; another one of the six has a physical handicap. "We need more people want- ing to adopt children who are not the prettiest, healthiest, best -adjusted 'little people," Miss McGowan declared in her talk to .County Council, "Every child needs a good home whett- er he is adoptable or not. Some children, so-called, unadoptabie,, have become so loved and want- ed by their foster -parents, that adoptionwas a joyous exper- ience for all concerned."' The local director pointed out that many handicapped hildren can be adopted when arents are found willing to ccept and lave them for their wn sakes and not for what the hild can give the adopting amily, "Not everyone can ac- ept a handicapped child and e must- not blame - them for his," she said. "It 4s far better o be perfectly honest about it rom the beginning." "Some adoption applicants sk for a handicapped child. here are different kindsof andicaps• besides' mental and hysteal. Sometimes we have a knowledge. ,of the baby's ther. Sometimes, the childhas rrrixed racial blood - part Neg- , Indian, or Oriental, etc. orae communities cannot ac - pt such a child. Particularly om teen-age on, there are sh- am complications. Yetmany of ese mixed -racial .children are r cleverest," c p a 0 c f c w f a T h p n fa ro •S ce fr ci th ou TcIni- 'Bigge-s.t.»-:We Ev.er Had as the biggest showip Of horses and cattle we've ever had" was the way Elgin Thomp- iBlesrFar Board, described estt wef the ek Spring -Pair. moreehorseswereinoihes horse sh w held outside and the Arena was packed with top quality cattle Nearly all divisions in both shows were filled, In the Angus cattle . show i was Alec Edwards who took -the honors.

Slight Population Decline A slight decline in total pop- ulation and, at the same time, an increase of close to one mil- lion dollars in over-all assess• ment of the county, featured the report of County Assessor A. A. Alexander to Huron. County Council in Goderich last week. Total population again has dropped from 49,279 to '49,234, a decrease of 63 for the whole coundo not include those living in defence housing, hospitals nor institu- tions. . The over-all assessment has increased by $979,250 in the past year, whereas it was up $1,025,495 in the previous year. Proposed county equalization is $67,544,939„ made up as follows: farm. Iand, • $22,085,616; build- ings, $18,786,675; commercial land, $1,492,280; commercial buildings, $5,858,340; business assessment, $2,248,001. Mr, Alexander said that con- siderable more work was re- quired where defence estab- lishments and cottages are lo- cated, as all ,tenants in PMQ housing, and wives of all cot- tage owners; who are Canadian citizens, are required to be en- tered on the assessment rolls, ointed out that at least 24Hcoue nties of the 38 in Ontario are now in the Assessment Commissioner System, as well as five districts in Northern Ontario. It appeared to him that all counties will be requir- ed to accept this system within a few years.
