Thankofferinpserrvice of the, Gorrie United Church Women, when the members and guests met to hear Don Keillor, director of the Huron Centre for Children and Youth at Clinton. Mr. Keillor has had ex- perience in elementary school teaching and in special •education, and formerly was on the faculty of educe Men at York University. He said the purpose of the Huron centre is to give counselling and assistance to families having problems and to help families stay together and live in har- mony, with special 'emphasis on children and youth. The centre has a staff of six professionals who work to help smooth out the problems arising from educational, social and emotional needs. Mr. Keillor remarked that even . when people do their best as far as they know, things go wrong and they need a 41,1? view of things, from. an outsider. Families may be referred \ to the centre by a• doctor, teacher or public health nurse, and they encourage the whole family to come. He commented that in some cases parents want thier children to grow up too fast. It is all right to be a child and act as a chilli, and later on put away childish things. He stressed the need for praise and com- mendation for children and youths, and the need to help a child see himself as capable of doing worthwhile things and being' somebody worthwhile. Mr. Keillor was introduced by Mrs. Clifton Coulter; Mrs. Robert Strong thanked him and presented him with a gift. The meeting was in charge of the committee for Christian development. The devotion period was con- ducted by Mrs. Coulter assisted by Mrs. Melville, Greig, while Mks. Velma Mann presided at the organ.
