The Children's Aid Society
Christmas Bureau is ready to
swing into action next week
under the direction of enthusi-
astic volunteers from the com-
munity.
Last year 122 families were
helped by the Bureau. This
year's plans are much the same,
with an added emphasis on the
need for gifts and clothing for
teenagers.
Christmas Co-ordinators will
operate depots in Goderich,
Clinton, Seaforth, Wingham
and Exeter. Donated gifts and
clothing will be received and
sorted at these centres next
week, and distributed to famil-
ies the following week.
Mothers will be given ap-
pointment times to come to the
depots to make their choices.
They will also receive cheques
to assist with Christmas dinner,
and to buy gifts they might not
b able to.find at the centres.
Families needing Christmas
assistance can be referred by
Public Health Nurses, Family
Benefits, Social Services or
Children's Aid Society Staff.
Individuals, groups or families
themselves are welcome to
telephone the Society if there.
will be little under the tree this
year.
Up until a few years ago
Christmas was run entirely from
the Children's Aid Society
offices in Goderich. Boxes of
gifts and food were packed
and delivered all over the coun-
ty. The present system is much
more satisfactory. Mothers can
now stop in their area depot,
knowing exactly what is most
suitable for their family. Deliv-
ery can be arranged if request-
ed.
Each year volunteersassume
more responsibility in the run-
ning of the Bureau. Their sug-
gestions are helping to improve
co-ordination and to meet famil-
ies' needs better.
Response to the Christmas
appeal has always been ex-
cellent and is increasing each
year. Church and service
groups respond most generous-
ly. Individual donations are
also important in enabling the
Bureau to brighten, Christmas in
our area.
Goderich only—Again this
year Kinsmen are placing large
boxes in strategic spots in
stores. They are asking shop-
pers to drop in a gift for a needy
child when they are buying their
their own families.
Recreation costs a problem
The reluctance of some town-
ship councils to pay toward
the cost of area recreation
services was one of the major
concerns expressed by munici-
pal recreationists at the annual
conference of the Lake Huron
Zone of O.M.R.A. Held Satur-
day, November 20th in Sacred
Heart Senior School in Walker-
ton. The conference drew 70
delegates representing munici-
pal recreation committees from
townships, villages, towns and
cities in Grey, Bruce, Perth,
Huron and Wellington counties.
An open forum discussion
moderated by Mrs. Ruth Wolfe
of Clifford followed a morning
panel presentation on "Sharing
the Cost". Panelists Lindsay
Inglis from Osprey Township,
John Smith, Milverton, Ian
Jamieson, Port Elgin and Tom
Shepard, Walkerton, gave in-
formation and viewpoints about
cost sharing of their recreation
programs and facilities both
within the community and
between communities. The at-
ternoon program featured four
partcipation workshops, cov-
ering these topics, (A) To what
extent should community grou-
ps and programs be subsidized
by the municipal recreaton

committee; (B) Comparative

ector Don Town, Grey County
Board of Education Superinten-
dent Nick Nicholas and Mea -
ford Athletic Association Past

The Lake Huron Zone of the
Ontario Municipal Recreation
Association is one of 15 zones in
the province. O.M.R.A. presid-
ent Jim Chalmers was on hand
to welcome the delegates on
behalf of the provincial body.
According to Mr. Chalmers, the
Lake Huron Zone is the most
active in the province and a
model all others are trying to
follow.
Provincial member of parlia-
ment Bob McKessock brought
greetings from the Ontario
government and Walkerton
Reeve Arthur Brown welcomed
the delegates on behalf of the
town.
Jack Bird, president of the
Lake Huron Zone of O.M.R.A.
chaired the conference. Mr.
Bird is also treasurer of the
Provincial Board of Directors.
Bud Bitton, consultant with
the Ministry of Culture and
Recreation co-ordinated the
conference and paid special
tribute to the conference com-
mittee, the resource personnel
and the delegates. Mr. Bitton
pointed out that it was a "dele-
gates conference" and the con-
ference content was determined
by municipal recreation com-
mittee members in the zone
through cluster group meetings
held during the past year.
Delegates attending from
Zurich included: Claude Gelinas
and Ray McKinnon.
