The Post was unable to reach councillor George Jutzi, who was also elected first two years ago, Things are a little clearer at the Brussels PUC where commission member Alec Keffer told the Post that he won't run again because he doesn't have time for the job. Mr. Keffer, who does shift work says: "It's just not feasible. Every time there is a meeting I'm on the afternoon shift. It just doesn't work out.' Chairman of the PUC Cal Krauter says he hasn't decided about running yet. "I'm consider- ing it, unless someone I thought was really capable wanted to run." Mr. Krattter has been on PUC, with a year off, since 1962. Unlike many Huron County municipalities, Brussels often has lively local election campaigns, with 85 to 90 percent turnouts by eligible voters. "The candidates usually stir up interest,'' says Bill King, clerk. The Hi'ron County Children's Aid Society took a step towards establishing a county wide program for the prevention and treatment of child abuse following a seminar last week involving a cross section of professional people. The seminar featured guest speaker Dr. Robert Bates, pedia- trician director and head of the Child Abuse Team at the Hospital for Sick Children, Toronto and centered on the responsibility of professional people in the preven- tion of child abuse and neglect and the establishment of a high calibre of interaction between agencies -in child abuse cases. Children's Aid Director Bruce Heath explained that there is . a high calibi-e of, co-operation among the agencies and schools dealing with child abuse but there still exist gaps from one system to another than should be closed. He added that in dealing with the cases the relations 'should be with people and not groups. Discussion centered on the responsibility of the individual to report possible child abuse cases to the CAS. Dr. Bates said that if a doctor neglects to report a child abuse case there still exists the responsibility among the nursing staff to report it to the nursing supervisor. Heath said that the This year it appears that most of them intend to do their stirring after November 10. UNCIEF About 15 million people suffer from tuberculosis. Just $1.00 in h.

Emergency by help- ing governments strengthen and expand basic nutrition, health and education services for their youngsters. $5.00, collected by several children at Hallowe'en, stocks a pond with baby fish for a potential protein supply for a rural village. hospitals in Huron County have no formal procedure for the reporting and, follow up of child abuse cases. Dr. Bruce Thomson said that doctors follow anode of ethics and have a contract with each patient and must respect that contract. He added that the seminar was beneficial in bringing professional people and agencies together and he hoped it would foster more involvement among the agencies and improve the correspondence between them. He added that communication between agencies was a big factor and that doctors would not co-operate with agencies that abused patients. Numerous bad experiences with agencies led to the breakdown in correspondence and co-operation. The point was raised that codes of ethics between professions interfere in dealing with child abuse cases and hamper the follow up procedures. CAS family service co-ordinator Esther Ross claimed that most Planning for the 1978 Interna- tional Plowing Match is well underway. Site for the match is immediately east of Wingham on Highway 86.

"People hold the CAS as a possible threat but we are not as terrible as everyone thinks," she said. "At times I feel like a dragon with a big heart and no one knows it." A representative of the public health nurses said, that if they were called to investigate , a possible child abuse case they were unable to testify in court and present potential key evidence. In such instances the public health nurses were at fault in their incapability to provide evidence. Heath said that because of this and other instances in which people are afraid to get involved it will be necessary to use subpoe- nas. He added that although the agency was almost forced to begin issuing them they would be used with discretion and only when necessary.

"We should have an interaction and a faith between groups dealing with a case because we will get into trouble if we rely on the legal realms," • John Siertsema, principal d McCurdy Public School, said that teachers were, in a difficult position since they were not qualified to comment on a case or give evidence on the medical aspect. He said the matter was simply out of the teachers' field, but if they reported a case to the public health nurse, what is their responsibility from there, Sergeant Mery Witter of the Goderich Police Department said that people are most reluctant to report cases to the police. He added that in a child abuse case the police's first priority was to contact an agency but he reiterated that people in the County were just too reluctant to call them. Reported cases of child abuse number 24 in 1974 and 25 in 1975 and Heath hopes to establish a follow up. committee with rein sentatives of all agencies and professions to curb the instances of child abuse. The committee would maintain representatives of all fields, to compare expectations, gaps in policies and examine the pratical issues. You have to walk before you can run.
