Wm. Turnbull, District Deputy
Grand Master of North Huron
District for 1972-73. His selec-
tion for this position is an honour
which comes to some member of
St. John's Lodge .once every
twelve years. Besides carrying
out his special duties set forth
by Grand Lodge, Mr. Turnbull
addressed the brethren regard-
ing ,,Progress of Last Fifty
Years". Social breakdown, he
said, may come if we don't prac-
tise proper human relations such
as liking people, kindness, com-
pliments, praise and encourage-
ment and working together for the
good of all people. Sympathy and
understanding are also important
factors. These are masonic
principles which should be prac-
tised by everyone.
Visiting brethren as well as
a goodly number of St. John's
members were present from
Fordwich, Wroxeter, Palmer-
ston, Clifford, Blyth, Wingham,
Chesley, Goderich and London.
TODAYS CHILD
BY HELEN ALLEN
ALWAYS CURIOUS
With that searching look, Donald seems to be asking
what in the world the photographer is up to. It is not an
unusual expression for Donald because this youngster is
always curious.
Donald is an appealing, healthy lad of white and Indian
descent. He is tall for one who has just had his seventh birth-
day, and sturdily built, with brown eyes, dark hair and dark
skin. He wears glasses for near-sightedness but like most
small boys prefers to leave them off.
This young fellow's early development was uneven. In some
ways he seemed very intelligent - at three he knew the alphabet
and colors. In other ways he was extremely backward so that
the Children's Aid Society doctors suspected he might have
sustained brain damage at birth.
However, recent exhaustive tests at the Hospital for Sick
Children produced a happy verdict: There is no brain damage
and he has good intelligence.
In school Donald has been under average but is beginning
to achieve. He is doing some Grade one work this year.
Donald is friendly, outgoing, impulsive and active. He
enjoys working with his hands and has a limitless imagination.
Donald needs energetic parents who will give him love,
understanding, stimulation and the security of having a home
and Mother and father of his own.
To inquire • about adopting Donald, please write to Today's
Child, 136k 888, Station K, Toronto. For general adoption in-
formation ; please contact your Children's Aid Society.
THE BRUSSELS POST, OCTOBER 18, 1972-5
News of Cranbrook
WI holds meeting
He doesn't want to stand on a ribbon cutting, hand shaking, flag,waving campaign-- that'slor
the birds. Charlie wants a better Huron Riding and he means it. He's a digger not a scratcher.
He'll discover those area problems and he'll meet the people concerned face to face to discuss
them. And he's not afraid of getting his boots dirty if its going to promote Huron and
Middlesex.
He's a member of the Tax Review Committee of County Council and a member of the Social
Services Committee. He belongs to many. Federal and Provincial animal breeding associations.
He's served on the Regional Development Council for eight years — latterly as vice-president
and he's served on the Huron Planning Board last year as chairman.
Charlie is a farmer and understands farming problems. He's convinced that the sugar beet
industry could be revived in Huron and Middlesex. He feels there are better ways of marketing
corn in peak periods and he'd, like to encourage more Canadian farmers to become involved in
livestock breeding.
And Charlie will fight for other benefits, too. For instance, he'd like more area development, he
believes in Goderich Harbour as a potential Great Lakes port, he feels that Sky Harbor airport
should be maintained and would fight for a subsidy, if necessary.
Stimulationof local industry is another key issue Charlie believes in. He wants to give incentives
to light industry to boost local economy. And he wants to make sure the 'brains' of Huron and
Middlesex stay in Huron Riding instead of heading south or to the cities.
A better Huron Riding is worth fighting for. Charlie Thomas is a fighter.
