WAYNE HORNER Clerk -Treasurer Township of Hay ZURICH CITIZENS NEWS THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 20, 1975 Hu ron -PertII pupils to meet Celly Children from Kindergarten to Grade 3 in all Huron Perth Schools will be introduced to Celly, a cartoon character developed by the Canadian Cancer Society to promote health awareness, the HuronPerth Separate School Board decided at their meeting in Seaforth Monday night. Trustees watched a presentation on Celly by Isabel Rubin and Marybelle Ford of the Cancer Society's Ontario Education division and were apparently so impressed by the program's anti-smoking message that no one in the room lit up a cigarette until about an hour after the ladies finished their talk. Celly tells children what a healthy body is and how to take care of it and reaches them at a young age before smoking and other bad health habits are formed, the Cancer Society workers said. The program has been effective in many Ontario schools since it was launched this fall. "We've had a little trouble getting the program into the tobacco areas, but we're still trying," Mrs. Rubin said. Director of Education, John Vintar, called the Celly program imaginative and said that it could be used to develop a variety of skills including language, puppetry and composition. The Board voted unanimously to ask the Cancer Society to bring the program to all its schools. -0 Huron NDP Members of the Huron NDP Riding Association met last week in Holmesville.

Shirley Weary, Riding President stated that the proposed new Riding had come under fire from many groups in Huron and Middlesex and was one of the areas under possible further revision, according to Provinc- ial sources in the NDP. The group also reviewed changes in the NDP Transport- ation Policy and agreed that there was a very real need for co-operation at all levels of government if the problems felt in rural Ontario were to be rectified. Paul Carroll advised that the membership will be asked to support a testimonial dinner to be held in London in April for David Lewis, the retiring Federal Leader. A number of tickets at $L5 each will be ava liable through the Riding Executive. Plans were reviewed for the Regional Spring Conference in Chatham. Five delegates will attend from Huron in addition to Paul Carroll who has been asked to be one of the Keynote speakers for the conferences. The discussions will focus on policy statements approved at the 1974 convention as a means of membership education in preparation for the Provincial Election. No date has yet been set for a social activity with Stephen Lewis as host. The Riding Ass- ociation was awarded the event after the 1974 membership drive when they achieved the greatest improvement in pre- paid memberships in the Prov- ince. TUNE IN!
