Three Seek Wardenship
Post Won by R. Jowell
By W. E. Elliott
GQDERICH-Reeve Roy Adaii;
in addressing County Council
before the election of warden,
saki it had been 42 years since
Wingham had a warden, He
had served in County Council
10 consecutive years and had
been on as many different com-
mittees,
"This has been a clean
campaign," he added, "and the
worst I can say of my opponents
is that they are fine gentlemen
and good county councillors."
Reeve Ralph Jewell said that
in going about the county he
had met a lot of fine people
and seen a lot of Huron. His
five years in county council had
been a very educational ex-
perience,
"I believe in autonomy at
the county level," he said,
"and I will work for the best in-
terests of all concerned. We
must endeavor to keep in step
with progress. I was pleased
with the condition of the coun-
ty roads, and we must continue
to improve them to take care of
increasing traffic."
Reeve Glenn Webb made an
unusually meaty speech, enu-
merating numerous issues to be
dealt with sooner or later..
"I feel that county council
will very soon come to a cross-
road, he said, "and will have
to be prepared to accept new
responsibilities or lose the in-
fluence it has in the lives of
{. M, e 1 1 .M.„M
the people of this county.. It
must consider the possibilities
of becoming involved in plan-
ning. I do not think the county
should try_ to eliminate local
planning boards, but I believe
a committee of council should
act with local boards in zoning
restrictions, subdivisions and
'co-operate with the department
of agriculture to conserve our
natural resources, particularly
our fertile soil.
This past summer has shown
us we must plan now for future
farm generations, The county
must study the possibility of
county welfare administration
and the possibility of a county
assessment system. I believe
that most townships have aprob-
lem, and the county should
make a study of the possibility
of a municipal police force. I
believe rhe time has come
when we should consider how
the county is going to take part
in the centennial celebrations,
merous accident prevention as-
sociations, honours those who
prevent blindness or less severe
eye injuries through safety
glasses when an on-the-job ac-
cident occurs. In its twoyears'
operation the club has awarded
600 certificates to industrial
workers and educated thousands
of Canadians in the importance
of preventing eye accidents.
A further force in the pre-
vention field was the establish-
ment of the B. A. Baker Foun-
dation for Prevention of Blind-
ness. In its first year of oper-
ation, the Foundation provided
three grants to young eye doc-
tors, Two will continue post
graduate study, The third will
provide eye care in the remote
communities of Labrador,

More Foster Homes
Urgently Needed
By W. E. Elliott
GODERICH-” We desperate-
ly need more foster home for
boarding children, especially
older ones of school age," C.
A.S. local director Clare Mc-
Gowan told Huron County coun-
cil in her report. "Within the
last few months we have had to
place one teen-ager outside the
county, and we have several
teen-age boys we are anxious
to find homes for.
"His honor Judge Hays (of
Family Court) has a plan where-
by instead of committing boys,
not terribly bad, to training
school, he would like to place
them in the care of the Child-
ren's Aid Society or a foster
home within the county. It is
not everybody who wants to
take on a child who is a prob-
lem, but it is surprising how
many settle down."
During the past year, the re-
port stated, Huron C.A.S. help.
ed 79 protection families hav-
ing 280 children, 36 unmarried
mothers, 23 putative fathers
and obtained 10 agreements
with the putative fathers; sup.
ervised 39 children placed on
adoption probation by the So-
ciety for whom 20 adoption or-
ders were made; gave 20, 245
days' care to 115 children, 42
of whom were returned event
ually to their own parents or
guardians.
"There has been no shelter
In Huron since 1940," Miss Mc-
Gowan pointed out. "The child -
ten are cared for in fosterhomes
which are supervised by the
Children's Aid Society staff.
These foster parents are doing a
wonderful work."
CNIB Asks Citizens
To Protect Sight
"Prevention of blindness was
never more imperative than it
is today," said A. N. Magill,
managing director of The Can-
adian National Institute for the
Blind. In a White Cane Week
request to citizens to take care
of their eyes, he explains that
today's way of life, our use of
mechanical equipment, and
instrumental apparatus demands
that vision remain at a high
level. To assist with the need
for better vision, the CNIB has
stepped up its prevention of
blindness services to the point
where we are now serving over
10, 500 sighted persons a year.
Mr. Magill described some
of the CNIB prevention services.
Working with community health
units and service clubs, CNIB
arranges professional eye care
for those who cannot pay for it
themselves. The Eye Bank of
Canada, which provides healthy
corneal tissue for transfer to
defective eyes, is one phase of
the CNIB program. "The Eye
Band cannot restore sight to all
blind persons," Mr. Magill said,
"but since the Bank began in
1956, more than 800 Canadians
see again through this service."
