"Unless five people are booked there is no sense in having him come", Mrs. Eccles said. Mrs. Eccles stressed that the Family Planning Clinic was open to anyone and that the services were free. Even OHIP is not required, and they thought that this would attract some people that otherwise would be ineligible. Mrs, Eccles is hoping for things to get rolling when more people are informed of the services, She expects more response in Sep- tember when ministers, clubs and schools are back in session. By MRS.

Mr. & Mrs. John McCose, Traverse City, Michigan, at- tended the funeral of their cousin Mrs. Mary Irene Latta Response to the Health Unit's Family Planning Clinic has been minimal so far and organizers are beginning to get a bit discouraged, Helen Eccles, in charge of the program, said that part of the problem probably stems from the fact that ministers and women's groups which would help tell people about the services are on vacation now. Flyers have been sent to many of the homes in Exeter, Dash- wood, Huron Park, Crediton and surrounding districts and posters have been placed in several locations. Literature has also been cir- culated in the Grand Bend area, in hopes of attracting some of the transient summer population to their facilities. But so far there has been little response, Information South Huron and the Children's Aid Society have been contacted but, Mrs. Eccles said "referrals just take awhile." "We are all set up and ready to go, now we are just waiting for people": she said. "Up to now we have kept pretty busy with setting up, ordering supplies and reading all the latest literature". Plans for the centre were to have two nights a week one for counselling and one with a doctor present for examinations. The doctor came last week but their wasn't anybody to see. Now the clinic has worked out a system whereby they will call the doctor BEDSIDE CARE — Part of the training for a homemaker is taking care of convalescents. Here Julie Meyer of Clinton plays the patient while Bernice Jeffrey, Exeter and Peggy Coulter, Huron Park practise their skills. Local Homemakers graduate people, convalescents or people who also need the services of physiotherapists and oc- cupational therapists. For most of their patients, it is just a matter of time before the person is able to manage for himself and the homemaker can move on. Homemakers can work for Huron Home Care, Social Ser- vices or privately. They are also in demand now by the Children's Aid to help handle family crises. Rather than put children in foster homes when their parents are not available, the Children's Aid prefer to have a homemaker come in to look after them. Why did these ten women decide to become homemakers? "I want to help people." "I like the contact with people." "You can choose your own hours" "I got fed up with office work." These were just some of the answers to the question. Members of the graduating class are: Julie Myer, Clinton; Agnes McLean, Hensall; Carol McD onell, Clinton; Mildred Cameron, Clinton; Peggy Coulter, Huron Park; Jean Young, Teeswater; Ethel Clark, Lucknow ; Bernice Jeffrey, Exeter; Margaret Bridle, Clinton; Helen McDonald, Goderich. Their teacher was Mary Bell of Stratford. Tuesday marked the graduation of ten more women into the ranks of homemakers. This is the fourth such class in the area. The women received their diplomas at Connestoga College in Vanastra after completing a three month course sponsored by Canada Manpower. Glasses were five days a week staid katTer'ed bedside nursing preparing special diets, first aid, available community resources and understanding human relationships. Homemakers are women who "work themselves right out of a job from the moment they go into a home" said Mrs. Betty Cardno, director of Huron Home Care, a community service that makes use of them. They are trying to help keep people out of institutions by providing a few hours of care every day. They do the day to day household duties for elderly Continues This Week ekeratee 1 Saw r soma All Misses' Sandals ONE LOW PRICE $3.49 Women's Regular $ 8.
