Cub Leader Allan Yates assisted by Larry Schilbe, Rob Irwin and Rick Penhale, cub helpers, super- vised games and relays. The Brownie leaders seemed to have misplaced their skates. It has been quite 'a while since I've visited in your homes with you, During the Christmas New Year rush. I began a holiday which took me and my family to sunnier climes in Florida, It was a great holiday and one which I hope I can relive one day soon, Everyone in the family went except our oldest son, He remained at home to grow up. Of course, he didn't think of it that way, But that is what it turned out to be-a growing process for him and a con- ditioning process for me. When we were planning the trip, it was evident our eldest would not ge with us, In his final year of high school he felt he could not afford the time away from class, and, of course, I applauded him for his sen- sible attitude toward his scholastic success. But I must admit I was reluctant to leave him. Whether it was the pangs of motherhood or the recollection of my own youthful exuberance while mom and dad were away, 1 do not really know. All I admit is that I was hesitant about travelling 1500 miles away and leaving my son to fend for himself. "Let go of those apron strings, Shirley," my husband admonished. "He's 18. Accor- ding to the law, he's an adult. He's finishing school and leaving home this fall. Get used to the idea he's growing up and going out of the nest." That seemed like sane and sage advice, so throwing caption to the wind I agreed to go to Florida without him.... and leave my boy alone. Strangely enough, I was hot worried about him while I was gone. I was so wrapped up in my own pleasure, I conipletely LADIES Prepare Now for Clinton Spring Show Copies are now, available for the 1,974, prize list for Sewing; knitting, cheting and needlework,, arts and crafts etc. Contact Mrs. Greg Bran- don, RR 4, CLINTON. 6b forgot my concern for my son. It was a good thing too. I could have made myself miserable while all the time our eldest was doing marvellously by him. The day we arrived home, unannounced, was about two days earlier than planned. I was ready for the worst when I opened the door. To my utter relief, the house was absolutely normal - maybe cleaner than usual. The dishes were done, The sinks were cleaned. The basement had been tidied up. The records were neatly stacked. The frig was clean as a whip. The stove was gleaming, And our eldest was at school. Complete order all round. When our son did arrive home, he assured us he was glad to see us, that he was tired of the responsibility and the ,routine which accompanies the management of a home. He did say, 'however, he had enjoyed his experience, that he under- stood our problems in main- taining a household and working at the same time, that he respected our views now on several matters which he previously had not understood and that he had learned a great deal about life and living.. "The prices!" he raved. , "The prices are terrible. I don't know how you and dad do it. I thought you'd left me plenty of money, that I wouldn't need nearly all of it. Do you know that I'm almost out of money and that in another few days I wouldn't have had any?" I commented on the cleanliness of the house. asked if the cleaning lady had been in regularly. My son told me he'd can- celled her services until I retur- ned. "I figured that with just me here I could keep the place clean," he beamed proudly. " I think I did a pretty good job. I had a routine. If yoil would have come home tomorrow, I'd have had the dusting done. Tohight's my night to dust." Was he hungry, I wanted to know, "1•1,';',.h,eshrogged. "Remind me to give you my recipe for it chili. his really"greae. Tinake a mean bowl of chili. I even gave a dinner party while you were gone. Everybody ate and ate so it must have been good," So there you. have it, friends. After years of ranting and raving , lecturing and loving, talking and teaching, the boy has given way to a man, What a glorious feeling. What a lesson learned - for both of us. Following skating, the Brownies treated the Cuba to cookies they had made and chocolate milk donated by the L.A. The girls were assisted by Brownie mothers Mrs: Barbara Telford, Mrs. Marion DeRuyter and Mrs, Marilyn. Haw.

Friday Jack Riddell MPP (L.Huron) said last week, he would not support a move by the ministry of the environment to take over inspection of sewage tanks from local health units. "It's another example of one ministry of government playing. pirate with another," Mr. Rid- dell said. , • The ministry of the eriviron`j rAn tjbliiteridS1 province-wide inspection private sewage systems over a three-year period starting April, 1.' Donald Sharpe of the ministry said Monday the 76 inspectors needed for the job' would likely be hired from local health units, and possibly be paid more for the same duties. He also said there would be a flat inspection and installation fee for the service, which is now provided free by the health units. Estimated budget for the program's first year is $700,000. "The health unit has been doing an excellent job in Huron County," Mr. Riddell said. "I can't see the need to take staff from one department and pay more for the same services." Mr. Riddell said the move would likely reduce subsidies, paid to the heaelth units by the province.

Sincere sympathy is extended to the family of the late Mr. Norman Rivers, who passed away January 30. Huron County Warden William Elston, reeve of Morris Township, also said he was against the proposal. In ad- dition to creating another department, he said he felt the service would not be improved.

As you know by now, we changed a lot of things last year. We gave you a new return, a new Guide, several new deductions and a few new rules. And quite honestly, we were more than a little concerned about your reaction to it all. (And very, very interested in your opinions.) Well, now that we've had time to really look back at it and assess it honestly, it appears that most taxpayers did not seem to find it too difficult. The error rate did not ac- celerate greatly or change,drastically from former years, Generally, most taxpayers seemed to handle their new returns fairly well, • However, Income Tax will never be the easiest or most enjoyable thing in anyone's life. And it will always present problems in some areas, for some people. That's expected and understandable. So. What we want to dopow is really work on those problem areas. And the best way to do that is to work with you, individually, on whatever part of Income Tax that causes you difficulty. And that's what April Aid is all about. It's a help system and its primary objective is to ensure that whenever or whatever you need help with, you can get it. And know how to get it.
