Forever Yours by International Artcraft The Wingham Advance -Times 357-2320 • The Wingbarn 44 'ans e-Tumee. November 22, TSS ears files impossible to A recent surge of interest In family history has led The Advance-TSmes VintO an impos- sible situation. Almost every week we receive a request or two from families who ask that we delve into back copies of the newspaper to provide information about time, place, etc., of an ancestor's death. Sometimes the request is much more complicated, such as a copy of a birth notice, or the date a family moved into or out of a community. The entire files of this newspaper are con- tained in about 100 volumes of old papers, including both back issues of The Times and The Advance, as well as The Advance -Times. The early issues of the newspapers have be- come so brittle with age that our own staff members are loath even to move them from place to place. In addition, it can take several hours of searching to find any reference to the person or subject referred to. Looking through page after page of these big volumes is extremely time-consuming, and frankly we do not have that many spare bodies around to undertake such a task. Add stothedifficultyist fact�tbatt &i M are several gap of from two to tit years the chrronologieai filing of tile.back iso Presumably some publishers In b'Po yE were less 'than interreste in the illstor - record of the community- and its reSiden Hope, ' however, is just over the horizon, Negotiations have been under way for some months to have all back issues (as well as current ones) microfilmed, which will maim; access to these old papers a much less time- consuming task.

The Ontario Weekly Newspapers Associa- tion is hoping to carry out this �program:onf e . : province -wide basis, but it will be several`: months before the. films actually become available to the public. °' In the meantime we ask that requests for file searches be withheld. It is -physically im- possible to carry out the searches, of present files, much as we would like to be able to do, • so. r. Good fanily relations are stressed at Wi convention "The Family in our Changing Society" was the theme of the 64th annual convention held in London for WI members from the counties of Middlesex, Elgin, Ox- ford, Perth and Huron. Each speaker at the two-day event gave her views on the subject. Mrs. Leonard Caffyn, in her president's remarks, said, "Des- pite an unstable society, we must not become negative in our think- ing. It is the duty of the family to preserve human qualities and ideals. Family provides love, pity, concern, honor and decency for its young people but bitter- ness or hatred in a family works its way into society." Mrs. Caffyn stressed that the family must be tended carefully as it provides a hope for happi- ness. Mrs. Clarence Diamond of New Hamburg, FWIO president, brought greetings from the pro- vincial organization and said She has faith in the Women's Institute and is proud of its history. Mrs. Diamond urged branches to hold meetings on family unity and quoted Mrs. Adelaide Hoodless who said "No nation can rise above the welfare of its'homes". "ii we are to have puce, we must start at home," the speaker said. Mrs. Diamond announced that Miss Helen McKercher has been selected for the Hall of Fame, the fourth woman for such an honor. Home Economists from Huron, Elgin and Middlesex gave a very informative program on foods, additives and nutrition. Miss Angela Armitt, head of Extension Department, Uni- versity of Western Ontario, was the guest speaker following the banquet. In her capable humor- ous manner, she spoke on com- munication and how important it is to the family, stating that com- munication is not only talking but listening. "Parents need to listen to their children and have a better understandinc of their activities," she, .aid. The London : Inch, o: the Sweet Adelines uelighted the audience with several musical numbers. There was .7 fine dis- play of crafts and receipts from the sale of the crafts amounted to $465. Miss Molly McGhee, director of the Home Economics Branch, Ministry of Agriculture and Better understanding promoted during children's Aid Week Children's Aid societies are complicated organizations which many people have difficulty understanding. During Children's Aid Week, Nov. 18-25, the Bruce County Children's Aid Society is trying 'to improve that understanding by explaining how the societies are operated, what services they offer, how they relate to the community and where they get their funding. First of all, the goal of all Children's Aid societies is to contribute to the well-being of children, families and com- munities. They share this goal with individuals and organiza- tions in the community. Children's Aid societies are required under the Child Welfare Act to provide certain specific sere ces on behalf of the com- munity. These services include investigating allegations of neglect or abuse; care of children who are not able to remain in their homes; placing children for adoption ; guidance and services to unmarried parents; super- vision of juvenile delinquents in their homes under court order; and family counselling to prevent break-ups. This law is the same throughout the province and its application is controlled jointly by the Local community, the family court and the provincial government. The Ontario government shapes the service by setting standards and guidelines and controlling the funding of the Children's Aid society. The province pays 80 per cent of the operating costs, with local municipalities picking up the remaining 20 per cent. The court decides the issue of what is neglect and what is not. It is the court that determines whether parents are to) be deprived of the right to keep a child in the home. The community shapes the service by controlling the policies and operations of each society. Each society is run by a board of directors elected annually by the membership of the society. Becoming a member involves purchasing a membership for a nominal fee and this entitles a person to receive information during the year about the operation of the society as well as to vote and run for election to the board at an annual meeting. (The fee for the. Bruce County society is $2 per year.) Every community needs its welfare services and each welfare service needs the support of its community. This support can take the form off joining the society; serving on the board of directors or as a committee member; helping as a volun- teer—as a stand-in Aunt or Uncle, a case aid, family visitor or friend, for knitting or sewing or occasionally for casual office work or phoning—or by becoming a foster parent; or giving financial support through bequests or donations.

Mrs. Campeau is speaker for Voice of Life Pregnancy risks are no, greater for teenagers than for women in their 20s, Sally Campeau told a' meeting of the Wingham and district Voice for Life group last week. In her education report Mrs. Campeau took issue with the argument that teenage pregnancies should be aborted because pregnancy is dangerous at such a young age. She said teenagers accounted for 31 per cent of the more than 57,000 abortions performed in Canada last year and claimed abortionists are ignoring well- documented studies . showing increased abortion risks for teenagers. Mrs. Campeau claimed .ob- stetric risks to the mother and neonatal risks to the baby for pregnancy and delivery in the 15-16 age group is no greater than that for women in their 20s, provided the teenage mother receives regular prepartum, delivery and postpartum care. She cited an article, "Managing the Teenage Preg- nancy", in which a Dr. John Dwyer reports: "We have ana- lyzed 231 pregnancies in patients aged 12 to 16 seen at our teenage pregnancy clinic between 1966 and 1971 (Roosevelt Hospital, New York) . But even though only girls in their early or midteens were included, we found no sta- tistically significant increase in complications except for a slight- ly above normal incidence of premature births. This held true even when we studied only the 87 girls in the group who were 14 or younger. it
