Mrs. Phillips, the corresponding secretary read a letter from Paula Blagrove, Director of Dietetics,. thanking the Aux- iliary for the corsages • and pens which were part of the tray favors for the patients for Christmas Day.

Stripers and that five Boy Scouts are interest- ed. Mrs. Kathy Pryde who is on 'the staff of the Huron County Family and Children Services spoke to the Auxil- iary and showed films on child abuse. Mrs. Pryde noted some of the signs of an abused child. The child may often be tired. The child . maybe unusually or exceptionally quiet, un- communicative, fearful ; of authority and of other.. child- ren. He' may wince when touche<d„Thechild often has bruises.orrbiirns not usually associated with play. He may refuse .to participate in gym for no valid reason, in an attempt to conceal his injur- ies. He may be frequently absent from school and then appear with fading bruises. The child ',may or may not complain about his treat- ment. Often he is afraid to . tell.` When questioned, he may deny the abuse or give illogical explanation for an. injury. The child may be a girl or a boy and may be one of siblings who are not abused. Mrs. Pryde stated, not all abusive parents are sadistic. Some may be suffering from amental breakdown, or they may be following the pattern of their own upbringing. Any information • received about an abused child is confidential or privileged, and no' action shall be instituted against the inform- ant unless 'the giving of the information is done malici- ously or without reasonable and probable cause. Mrs. Pryde urged the aux- iliary to be alert to the signs of child abuse and to co-oper- ate with the Children's Aid Society.' Early reporting is urgent; while an injury isstill in evidence. As 1979 is the Internation- al Year of the . Child we should all be aware of the abused child., If someone knowsof such a child he/she should phone Goderich 524- 7356. Marrkc in Ripky A a .

Celebrate 52nd anniversary Mr. and Mrs. Howard Ag- new of Brucelea Haven, and formerly. of Lucknow, were guests of honour at at sur- prise anniversary party, ar- ranged by the Activities Co- ordinator .of the . Home and the ; Ladies' Auxiliary Birth a day Committee, on Monday, January 22nd, 'an: the .occa- sion of their 52nd wedding anniversary. Mr. and Mrs. Agnew are one of only three couples residing at Brucelea. Howard and Margaret Ag- new were wed in 'Windsor on January 22, 1927. Mrs. Ag- new is the former. Margaret McCullough, daughterof the late Mr. and Mrs. W. J. McCullough of Kincardine. She was born, raised, and re- ceived her education in Kin- cardine, and worked in the local Post Office for three years prior to her. marriage. She is the.second youngest .of a family of eight, with two , sisters and a brother surviv- ing, • Alice Fleming, • Port Colborne, Edna. Becker, Tra- verse City, Michigan and W. J. McCullough, Windsor. Mr. Agnew is the last surviving. member of his • family of five' boys. His. parents, the late Mr.; and .Mrs.: Joseph Agnew lived in Lucknow, where his: fathers ,,;:, was the clerk=treasurer there for several years. Howard'§ twin brother, Harold, passed away three months ago. Following their marriage,' they resided. in Detroit for a, year and then returned. to Bruce County to live in Lucknow, where Mr. Agnew worked with his father in the Insurance business, and was appointed deputy municipal clerk. Father and son worked together many year until the father's retirementdue to ill health.' Howard Agnew was thenappointed clerk -treasur- er in 1940, a position he held until his retirement in 1972. Both Mr. and Mrs. Agnew have been quite sports mind- ed. Howard was a very active participant in many sports including hockey, ball, bowl- ing,golf and curling. He was refereefor hockey games and umpire„ at ball games in the Huron -Bruce area for many years. However, in talking to him, it seems he slightly favoured lawn . bowling and enjoys relating stories of incidents of days gone by. He tells of the time he 'and Clarke Finlayson were com- peting in a lawn bowling tournament in Toronto for .the Ontario Championship in 1940. When they received secondprizetheir hometown was so proud of .them, that they planned . a welcoming home :reception party, band arid all. He bowled with: his • father in doubles 'for many years',; and has quita,collec tion af'trephies to'prtive-his ability at the . sport. He - recalls tournaments in .Walk " erton with .Bill Dobson and Mr. and Mrs. Campbell Grant, among others. Mrs. Agnew' was certainly not sitting at home during all these activities. She- also bowled, played golf and bridge, and accompanied her husband either as a partner or '•spectator at all times. They competed in various tournaments in. Ontario. She likes to tell the story of one evening, accompanied . by another couple, they were returning to Lucknow from Teeswater late ,at night, when a rabbit suddenly appeared on the road run- ning in front of the car. The lights hypnotized the rabbit,. and it just ran straight down the road ahead of • them. Driving slowly,. the driver would swerve the car so the occupants, with doors open, could catch the rabbit when it came alongside -They didn't Want: to run over it and several times almost caught it by hand.' They were cer- tainly lucky no one else was travelling that .particular sec- tion of road at that time of ASHFIELD W.M.S. Following a Chinese lunch- eon at the home of - Mrs. Richard West, Mrs. Gordon Finlayson opened the Ash- - field Women's Missionary Society meeting ,by reading verses taken. from Proverbs. , Mrs. Nugent very capably introduced the study book, "Contemporary China", and the first . study was "In search of my neighbour". The film, "China Take - Three", was also shown. ca Business was conducted by president, Mrs. Gordon Finlayson., Minutes were read by Mrs. Donald Sim - son: A thank you from the Cancer Societyfor contribu- tions was read by Mrs. Warren Wylds. Offertory prayer was given by Mrs. Gordon Robb. "Christ For the World We Sing", brought an interest- ing and enjoyable meeting to a close. • night, and she feels that had the police observed them from behind, they probably would not ' have spent the remainder of the night at home. Howard has a smile ori his face when he tells of the time he and some other bowlers were returningfrom a game in :Owen Sound early in the morning. Well, it seems that one of the party met an old friend in .Owen Sound and they were celebrating their victory: On returning to Lucknow, he was let out of the car across the street from hishome, and right beside the bowling green. Along the edge of the green was . a beautiful rose ..bed, 110 feet long and about 15 feet wide, with rosesin full bloom. This friend, in the dark, struck out home, and • after >.walking some • distance turned to. Howard and said loudly, "Dave °(the caretaker) will have to `,see about this long grass." Howard turned and saw his friend walking right down the centre of the rose bed. During his years of ref- ereeing and umpiring, he would be called many names, but once he remembers this practice backfired. It was a chilly day and his wife, feeling . for__three spec- tators at the game, offered to let them sit in her car. It seems the spectators' team was losing badly, and they then kept hollering "Kill the Umpire". • So when Howard returned to the car, and the occupants realized the situa- tion, he was confronted with three of the reddest faces he had ever seen.. The Agnews moved to Brucelea in September ,1978, . and are enjoying their resid- ence. They have one son, Joseph, who owns and oper- ates a jewellery. and china shop in Lucknow, three grandchildren and two great grandchildren. At the party, they were presented with gifts from the Home by Mrs. Evelyn Hus- sey, and a silk flower ar- o rangement by Mrs. Marg Fischer, on behalf of the Auxiliary: Guests included Mr, 1-1. D. 'Thompson, Ex- ecutive -Director of Bruce County Homes, and long time friend and neighbour of the _Agnews; Mr. D. Moore, Administrator; Mrs. Kreut- kamp, Supervisor of Nurses, and Mr. John Hussey, Chief Engineer.
