Villagers return from holidays
By Doris Hunter.
It's nice to have people coming home to
the village of Bayfield, instead of departing
from our midst. Doris Reddoch is back from
her family visits in the west, and Marie Fitz-
simons has had a wonderful holiday in the
south.
• Doddie and Doug Chubb opted for a return
trip to Cuba. They like the climate and the
people. Canadian dollars are accepted
almost everywhere, although at the
American dollar premium. The official cur-
rency is the Mexican peso, a- reminder of
early Spanish dominance.
This year they stayed at the Itabo Hotel,
which is not too far from Havana and its
many attractions. The tourists are
predominately European, for example, it is
just a 12 hour flight from Dusseldorf.
However the ('huhbs met a number of very
pleasant Canadians as well and vote Cuba a

Foundation
seeks support

Once again the Heart and Stroke Founda-
tion of Ontario will be canvassing in
Bayfield during the month of February.
Last year canvassers in Huron County rais-
ed $49,487 and this year the goal is $53,000.
It is also hoped to raise an additional
$2,000 for the county's commitment to the
Robarts Research Institute in London. This
will be a major research centre in the pro-
vince with a mandate to search out cures.
not only for heart and circulatory disease
but also to improve immunology techniques
and to address juvenile diabetes and
altzheimers's disease.
Canvassers will be distributing leaflets
which outline the many projects undertaken
by the foundation. Tremendous progress
has been made over the years but there is
still so much to do as heart disease and
stroke are still Canada's major health
problem.
Help to make Bayfield's contributions this
year better than ever and give generously to
this very worthwhile cause.

By Helen Owen
When Bayfield Historical Society held its
annual general meeting on January 23 the
officers for the year were appointed and
their pictures appeared in the paper last
week.
The speaker on this occasion was Don
Keillor, director of the. Huron ('entre for
Children and Youth. The subject which he
addressed dealt with contemporary society
and as such fulfilled one of the mandates of
the society - to record and reflect the pre-
sent time.
His presentation began with a short, poig-
nant film which dealt with a little boy strug-
gling to deal with rejection and insecurity
who, in desperation, took his own life. It was
a tragic story and when it concluded Mr.
Keillor asked his audience, "Where does the
blame lie?"
It was not an ea- question to answer. but
in reviewing the background which
culminated in the tragedy Mr Keillor show-
ed how the pressures had built up and the
ways in which they migljt have been
alleviated.
Analysing the pressures to which the boy
had been subjected. Mr Keillor related
these to the parental inc•ompatabilrty and
lack of perception, the conflict with a
younger sister. which in turn had induced
problems at school. As a result the boy had
innocently become involved in an episode of
vandalism. and this in turn had led to more
frightening experiences The example por-
trayed, said Mr Keillor was dramatic, but,
the fact remained that the numbers ,of

adolescent suicides were increasing.
On a more hopeful note he went on to ex-
plain the role of the Children's Mental
Health Centre which was staffed by
psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers
who followed up their initial contacts with
constructive programs and supportive
treaments. Much of the work was con-
ducted through centres with the options of
day care, follow up at home and less fre-
quently but sometimes necessary,' inpatient
care. The extent of the work was not surpris-
ing when it was learned that one in six
children encounter problems, some 10,000 in
Ontario. Hence it was important for all
those in daily contact with children,
teachers, doctors, community leaders and
parents should have some understanding,
not only of the problem, but also the sources
of help and support.
Mr. Keillor quoted examples of areas of
concern which precipitated stresses, such
as the family scene, inter -family relation-
ships and conflicts, insecurity and ecomonic
circumstances. Isolating the problem,
defining the source and then offering prac-
tical solutions were the ways in which pat-
terns of behavior could be analysed.
Mr. Keillor concluded by saying that over
the past years new processes had been in-
troduced and new approaches initiated" to
deal with the instability found in today's
society. Schools and public health depart-
ments were now involved and there had
been a further extension of the services
since 1985 so that tragedies such as the one
depicted in the film could be prevented
