Ross Hamilton, the president of the Wingham and District Association was in charge. Mrs. J. Reavie reported on the membership drive. Mrs. J. Tait, the regional director, was guest speaker. Her subject was "Home Care and pre School Classes". The aim of home care is to improve the lives of the retarded in their own homes. The nursery school has a three-fold purpose. It shows the child that it can be happy away from its parents; it trains the child in prepara- tion for schools and it gives the mother a break. Mr. Hamilton thanked the speaker and expressed the hope that a pre school class one day a week may be organized in the near future. A film showing the care and education of the retarded child in our schools and institu- tions was then shown. Just recently a Youth Con- ference was held at the Ontario Hospital, Palmerston. Seventy eight students from secondary schools from Region 5 attended. Twelve of these came from Wingham and Lucknow high schools. They toured the hos- pital and took part in a panel discussion which included a teacher and a parent of the retarded, a doctor and a psy- chologist. The students seemed quite interested and it is hoped some of these may find a challeng- ing career in the training and education of the retarded.
