Photo by Langlois) (By Shirley J. Keller) Members of Huron Cbuzity Council learned Friday there is free help on the horizon for parents of mentally retarded children in the province who would like to have a summer vacation break. Notice has been received from the Midwestern Regional Centre in Palmerston that they will be providing short term residential care during the summer months for mentally retarded children. This program is designed to provide short term relief for families of mentally retarded children, as well as to enable the retarded children in Ontario to benefit from a group living experience and programs under the supervision and guidance of sniff trained on working with mentally retarded children. Children from age six to 18 who Palmerston, Horonview summer care Will prdvide , are ambulatory will be considered far periods ranging from a few days to a maximum of two months. 'Further information can be obtained by contacting Miss Jean Bartman, Social Work Department, Midwestern Region- . al Centre, Box 400, Palmerston. Her telephone number is, 343-2015. The administrator of Huron- view also announced to council ' that despite the fact that the number resident in the home has reached an all time high of about 309, Huronview will once' again provide vacation care for senior citizens in the county while families are on vacation this summer. "We will. definitely be provid-. ing the service again this summer," said Chester Archibald.

"Most of the infected herds in Huron are riot having active , • abortions, but areonly. reactors,- Dr. Thoinpson said. "Where there are actual abortions taking place there isn't much chance of •„, cleaning up the herd without depopulating it.- . The deeiSion to eradicate an entire herd is based on how long the' veterinarians • have been trying to stop the disease and if there are- any active abortions or not. "Even if, it is early in the game,- if there are••acttits„„abortions. we —will likely adVisc•:;:the .fariner to ship the whole !yid," he said. Dr. Thompson "says that the. disease can be spread from farm, to farm in several' different ways. • "We've picked up dogs with., brucellosis in one instance. It isn't. keven that. dogs are a serious spreader of the disease: but we have found them with it. Swine also can spread brucellosis, and they are not considered a serious spreader either," he said. "In one case of low grade infection. we had trouble cleaning it up until we tested a pony and" found that it had it. Once we got rid of the pony, the disease was cleaned up. There is no definite proof though that • the pony was Spreading • the disease." .he added. Brucellosis can also be spread through the manure of cows. Dr. Thompson said 'they • advised farmers not to spread manure. from an infected herd on a pasture field"Nhere other cattle might pick it up. but .should spread it on an area such as a hay field., where the sunlight can kill tlfe bacteria before any cattle come in contact with it. He said it was, also possible, although unlikely, that the disease could be spread from the runoff from manure. "The brucellosis bacteria likes 4 moist atmosphere," he said. Tracking down the source of the disease is one of the greatest difficulties facing the Health of Animals branch, says Dr. Thompson. "Dairy cattle Can pass through so manyhands, it is difficult to track them .clown," he said. "Dealers may know they sold so Many cattle a certain day, but 'they don't know which specific one we -are asking about. if th6 government required that accurate records were kept, we would be able to find them." "it is not being able to-trace the infection that 'is beating us," he said, Although many sales barns test for brudellosis at the time of sale, ' not all of them do, A "card test ' is carried out at some sales barns and reacters 'can be weeded out in a few ritittateS, tloWever, thenteSt isn't as acctirate as the "tube of ugglutittatien" test, but which has to be,seilit toa laboratory and the results 'are not available Until.

The Health, of Animals Branch does not advise farmers to vaccinate calves against Brucel- losis. Besides taking seven years to have a fully vaccinated herd, Dr. Thompson says that it causes a lot of problems besides- "It throws off the results'of the blood test .and doesn't stop the, ":spread of infection.

"Ten percent isn't a bad sampling though," he said, "I was intrigued by the number of people who came and toured the homes more than once." Represenatatives' of Bell Trailer Sales and Morgan Mobile Homes, the two companies which supplied the homes for the display, said they were happy to get the chance to 'display their products and were pleased .with the number of people who toured, the homes. Over 400'cups Of coke _and more than $150 worth of food was sold by the. Leo Club at the display, said' Mr. Rimmer, PeOpfe from London, Winghatn, Goderich and Kincardine toured the site. Mr. Rimmer said that some of 'the commentS written on the questionnaire showed a great deal. of thought had gone into filling them out, but many of the comments did not directly concern what the planning board was considering., He said these questionnaires would be turned over to council for their persual. The planning board put a lot of work into the display, Mr.' Rimmer said. The results of the display will be used by the board in determining if a mobile home park for single-wide trailors will be established on ten acres of land in the south-west corner of Seaforth. Double-wide mobile homes can be put on any lot in Seaforth under the present regulations. . ' "One, lady said to me that it would be nice if Seaforth put on something like this every month," said Mr. Rimmer. said "lady you're going to have to find another boy."
