T-A photo A Home Care Program, already serving the Goderich, • Clinton and Seaforth Hospitals will cover the whole of Huron County by April 1, What does Home Care mean to you? Is it a housecleaning ser- vice? Does it provide home nursing care? Mrs. Elizabeth Cardno of Seaforth, the nurse administrator for the program, says Home Care is a co-ordination of services, that allow a patient to leave hospital early or avoid admission to hospital, and at the same time receive adequate care in their familiar home surroundings so • that they are not separated from their family and friends. Mrs,Cardno goeson to point out that the program is financed by the Department of Health so there is no charge to the patient for the services provided. In order to be eligible for care the patient must be referred by the family physician and must require one of the following: Nursing Care, Physiotherapy, Occupational therapy or Speech Therapy, If one of the services listed above are required, homemaking, the cost of drugs, lab and x-ray costs and tran- sportation, if needed, may also be provided. The Home Care Program does not offer twenty-four hour care, so the family and friends of the patient must be willing and able to help provide some assistance in the care of the patient, There is no age limit for patients, Girl Guides exchange crafts with Huronview residents residents, esidleranmts es from the Huronview With these frames and the materials they have been preparing, the girls will now be working on wall hangings, mats, bags and other articles. Mrs. Couper, who has been working with the Guides, is ex- tremely pleased at the interest the girls are taking in this craft and expects to see some of their originality coming through in theirdesigns in the coming months. .A delaide Daniels is Founder& Director of li-cjght WatehersofOntario Limited) Luncheon is served at Trivitt Anglican Church Women of Trivitt Memorial Church sponsored a 'Luncheon is Served' party, March 13 at the Parish Hall.

And according to nutritionists here and across the border, there's grave danger that history will prove it to have been one of the worst health haiards or the second half. of the 20th century. Combine hours of inaetivity such as sitting in front of the TY set with nibbling on any thing from potato chips to chocolates — and it's easy to understand why so many people today pile on pounds while their energy and Well-being diminish. There must be an answer to the problem, if our national fitness is to be preserved. So it becomes the responsibility of every single person to see that. if we must shark, it will be on foods that don't add unwanted pounds but do provide important nutrients. First foods to fall casualty to a programme for controlling weight while snacking. arc candies. potato chips, and the kind of snuck that is low in nutrition •-- especially those with added fat and sugar. Crackers with cheese spreads, or nuts, have the advantage of provid- ing protein ----- but they're so high in calories that, if you use them steadily, y mire sure to see your weight increasing, High on the list of desirable snack-time foods are crisp raw vegetables of almost every kind, Celery, fingers of cucumbers, cauliflowerettes, radishes, green pepper sticks these can be kept in jars in the refrigerator for anytime enjoyment. You'll find mushrooms an excellent alternative. So are such canned vegetables as wax beans. asparagus and bean sprouts. Fruits, especially raw ones, are excellent, If you tend to put on weight, however, be wary of grapes, of bananas or apples in quantity, and of sweet cherries. Don't forget the satisfaction and enjoyment of a bowl of bouillon. If you keep beef or chicken bouillon cubes or cordial on hand, you can have it ready at a flick of the wrist. Black coffee, hot or iced, is another good idea so is clear hot or iced tea. And of course, chilled tomato or fruit ,Mice makes another snack that provides important food value with few calories. Milk is one of your best snacks, so long as it is used within the limits of y our total food needs. Make it skim rather than whole, if you want to cut calories. Snacking on such foods as I suggest has advantages beyond keeping your weight and well-being in line. It keeps you from spoiling your appetite for regular meals. and discourages falling asleep in the middle of a favorite programme. Nursing care for the Home Care Program is being provided by the Victorian Order of Nurses, and the cost is covered by the Home Care Program. However, individuals needing nursing care for bed baths, foot care, and general nursing assistance can obtain this service by calling the V.O.N. Nurse at Clinton Public Hospital. The charge for this service are calculated on the individual's ability to pay, Homemaking Homemaking is another ser- vice that is utilized by the Program. The homemaker service may be provided to the Home Care patient if nursing or physiotherapy care is needed. While nursing and physiotherapy service is on a visit basis, determined by the care needed, homemakers provide care on an eight hour or four hour basis for five days a week, The need or amount of homemaking is determined by the family physician, the Nurse Administrator of the Home Care Program and the family receiving care. The homemaker assists the family in giving the necessary care. Many inquires are received by the Home Care Office for homemakers who are willing to live in or to be employed privately. Anyone interested in offering homemaking privately may leave their name with the Home Care Office, 527-0440 or write Huron County Home Care Program, Box No. 659, Seaforth, Ontario.

They have learned how to wash and card the wool, and besides the wool, are spinning jute to make a variation in the articles they wish to complete. Some of them have also done their first natural plant dye with onion skins so they will have a variation in colour as well as texture. Community involment has been stirred by the Guides. When they visited Huronview last fall they became acquainted with some men residents there who agreed to construct weaving frames for them. When they presented the afghan to Miss Cunningham, they, in turn, were presented with Conservatory music results Western Ontario Conservatory of Music announced the names of candidates from Exeter and district who were successful in recent music examinations.
