Mr. Penfold quoted from the Ontario Foodland Guidelines: "Despite the, concern with adequate protection for agricultural lands it is recognized that all other growth and development cannot and 'should not stop. Historically many of our urban centres have developed, in areas of high agricultural capability or production and continued growth is necessary. However, measures it in a direction where agricultural capabilit- ies may be, lower." Measures suggested included: "Villages could be differentiated to determine which will be -encouraged to expand and 'which may be limited in future growth. One possibility is to limit growth of villages on good ' agricultural lands and encourage expansion of those on poorer land." Burns Ross a Goderich engineer testified a's to the water and sewage capabilities of ' the village systemto-handleany incruase in that taxes would increase us_mighLby.dro_. rates. The only other objector was Harold Elliott, also 'of R.R. 1, Hensall, who said he was concerned about losing the school bus service. He stated that the busing promised by the Director of Education was only temporary and could be removed at any time. Mr. Elliott said he had ample sewage and good water but that at the end of a year after annexatio_h be might forced to book into It may be her' s even think let alone write like this on a dark and rainy day in June.

"I can't see any negative aspects really," Mrs. Toil said. Calling the arrangement one school in two places, SPS principal Paul Carroll said the 90 students at Walton should benefit from the access to specialist teachers from SPS and at the same time Walton home room teachers will have more time with their kids. The new plan means Walton students in the country's smallest school will have "exactly the same Services as any other student in the country", Mr. Carroll said, the Hensall systems. He said he built out in the township because "we wanted to get away from a large congestion of homes,',' and feared that his home would come down in value. He said behind his home there is a large mill (grain) and even at the distance he lives from it there is lots of dust. Like Corporal Freeth, Mr, Elliott said he did only some occasional shopping in Hensall and did not use other facilities such as the school system (his' public school child was given permission by the school board to attend school in 'Exeter where his son attended secondary school). He said he used Park. Mr. Freeth said his family was not "an athletic family.:" Mr. Murphy explained that the Town of Hensall and the Township of Hay had worked together on the proposed annexation to piovide the town with land. He said this was a fresh approach as ordinarily no municipality Was willing to give up an inch of land. He said the two munciipalitiqs sat down in - a business- like manner after the village, council first including access to special experiences, like the peer tutoring program SDHS students have been involved in at SPS. The Seaforth principal paid tribute to Mrs. Toll for her contribution in working out the plan. "Her willingness to look at all alternative' s guarantees that school will exist. It'll only be closed if parents close it." The board will probably :appoint a vice-, principal at Walton who has experience in primary teaching and part A of the principal's course, Mr. Carroll said. No teacher currently at either school has both those qualifications. " went to the Hay Township council with its propbsal. They agreed to jointly ask for studies by the Haron County Planning Board and the Intergovernmental Ministry for the financial report " Mr. Murphy said they didn't have to ,hire expensive professional help to do the studies which were about two years being complet- ed. Mr. Singer said the evidence was comp- lete and he would reserve judgement at this time as the Municipal act requires that he make a written report on the hearing. lIe said he would complete it as quickly as possible.

(Photo by Rimmer) BY JOANNE RIMER Thanks to Lucy Demeres and the Town and Country Homemakers, Mr. and Mrs. Harvey Dale's nameless new baby was able to come home to join her new family soon after she was born. Mrs. Demeres, of Clinton, who has been a homemaker for seven years, helped Mrs. Dale with the care of her house and family after the mother came out of the hospital, with her new daughter. Ordinarily, a new mother may have to stay iii the hospital for as many as five days after childbearing, but if a homemaker is there to do most of the physical work,.the mother can return to her home and fruity as soon as the next day. "That Makes everybody so much happier" said Mrs. Demeres. Town and Country Homemakers provide many similar services in Huron County. Mrs. Demeres said she also attends to senior citizens to allow them to remain in their home. Jean Young. administrator of the group, said in ao interview last week that 60 per cent of the clients are older than 1t." The homemakers supply services such as cleaning, ,tratisportatont hairdressing, meat preparation, maintenance and gar- dening. Their services ate putchised, by private• clients, Hometate. Social er vices, Family and Children's Services, and the Cancer Society. ' LAST MOVE The organization has operated from a • head office in Wingham which, has changed location three times. The last move was to a large house on Victoria Street. According to Mrs. Young, this house suits their needs for an office. However, the owner has decided to sell the house and has offered the agency the first chance to buy it, They needed to raise 510,000 for 'the down payment by June S which they did. However, Mrs. Young said. they still must raise the remaining S28,000 before the end of the year. They plan to do this through fund-raising events, canvassing the area and approaching corporations they do business with. Mrs. Young said that the owner his been very good to them, and plans to hold the mortgage' for them. It is more economical in the long run for the Homemakers to buy the house, added Mrs. Young. Moving is very costly; it is more than $800 just to have the telephones moved. Renting is very uncertain. and it is also /Very expensive, as the total cost of rent, heat and hydro amount to well above $500 per month. The organization is trying to keep its costa as low as irsible to keep the expenses to individual clients to a minimum. Unfortunately, they aren't entitled to a grant for the building, although "MPP Murray Elston has been great looking into things for us" noted Mrs. Young. However, the Town and country Home- makers have received grants from Canada Works to start their program and to ease their financial burden at times. REAL NEED When first started 'in 1978, the group needed funds from, Canada Works to provide office staff and expense money to co-ordinate homemaking services. Mrs. Young said, "we were born out of real need." They needed office workers to match homemakers with clients. By the end of 1978, they were self-sufficient. At present"the organization staffs an admini, strator, bookkeeper, public relations devel- opment officer and two case workers. The case workers assess the needs and financial ability to pay. They also atteMpt to match the client to a suitable homemaker, then continue assessment of the situation. There are currently over 80 homemakers and 1500 clients in Huron County have used the organization. Mrs: Demeres said that she finds the work very rewarding because "when I'm there, the older peOple can stay in their own home and that makes them happy." She _added that the homemakers save honey Since they can keep people out of institutions which would cost more. For example. Mrs. Dale was out of the hospital on her second day. eliminating the cost of thre more days in the hospital which could be almost $300. The home-making costs - would not be over $100. Also, an extra hospital bed is freed for someone else. Mrs. Demeres also looks after an elderly lady who needs a very special diet. She said homemakers have to be very versatile, and in this case she has to be I dietician, while in others she his to be able to help with therapy. For her training, Shelook a three month course from Faintly Care Workers of Ontario and a firSt aid course from St. John's Ambulapee. If a VON is at a house, they wirinstruct the homemaker on proper care, said- Mrs. DeMetts. Mrs. Demotes remained at the, Dale's home until. Mrs. Dale was "welretioeigh to take care of her Wally, with the help of her husband." '--4 Thanks to Homenitikers elderly, \hiothees..out 'sooner • l.•,11 4241,,
