Restoring homestead
an ambitious project
Restoring the Van Egmond
Homestead to the period of 1865 is
the ambitious project of the Van
Egmond Foundation in Seaforth
and was ably described by Mr.
David Ring at the May meeting
of the Hensall Women's Institute
held at the Hensall Legion Hall on
Wednesday, May 12.
Colonel Van Egmond is famous
for opening the Huron Tract from
Goderich to Guelph, and he built
the homestead in 1847 but never
lived there himself. His son,
Anthony, lived there around 1865
and it is to this period that the
house is being furnished as a
typical example of life along the
Huron Tract before Con-
federation.
Slides showing the original
walls and newspapers of 1863
stuck to the floors illustrate the
type of restoration already
carried out and promise an ex-
citing future for the "living
museum" being aimed for.
Grandmothers were the special
guests invited to this meeting and
the meeting was opened by the
new president Joyce Pepper,
reading a poem on Grand-
mothers. Named as voting
delegates to the District Annual
at Creditor) on May 20 were Jessie
McAllister, Joyce Pepper and
Hilda Payne. They are going to
get in touch with Joyce before
that date regarding the pot-luck
luncheon. Grace Peck• reminded
members of the Blossom Tea at
Huronview on June 9 and asked
for contributions of aprons from
the Huronview - Auxiliary
members and baking to sell at
the bazaar.
A letter was read from the
Children's Aid, Goderich, a
membership card received from
the Association for the Mentally
Retarded, and a reminder about
the South Huron Hospital
Rummage Sale at Huron Park on
May 26,
Joyce reminded members that
Achievement Day would be on
May 15 and Hilda Payne
reminded members to get their
tickets from her for the roast beef
supper at theBeanPot onJune 9 at
7:30 p.m. after visiting Pat
O'Brien's. The financial balance
showed a balance of $102 and it
was voted to make a donation to
the United Church for the use of
their rooms for 4-H. Janice
reported difficulties in finalizing
arrangements for the bus trip to
the Niagara Region in June.
Joyce gave an account of the
Officer's Conference which she
attended at Waterloo. Several of
the speakers dwelt on
Agriculture — more money than
ever is being spent on food, urban
growth is being carefully
weighed against agriculture.
Regarding Women's Institute, we
must accept change, but keep it
under control. When we see new
ideas we should accept the
challenge and always try to
provide the opportunity for others
to take part.

I apologize for a spelling error
when welcoming the Maliks to
Ilensall. last week. Mr. Malik's
first name is Parkash. I hope this
has not caused Mr. Malik any
inconvenienceorembarrassment,
Mr. Malik tells me that he is a
graduate in Engineering and
Post graduate in Economics with
Honours from Kuruksnetra
University, India. His wife is also
well educated, specializing in
Child Psychology and Education.
Before choosing Canada, Mr,
Malik was well settled in his own
country and was working with the
Government of India in a
responsible position. He landed in
this country in June last year and
came to this village in July to join
Bendix Home Systems Ltd,Later,
in the early months of this year
his family joined him. They found
the people of the village very
friendly and co-operative
towards them.
Mr. Malik, as an Economist,
foresees a bright future for
Hensall with the agricultural
village developing into an in-
dustrial town,
Mr, & Mrs. Malik appreciate
the people of this village for
welcoming them in their village.
E to say, what you actually say,
what the other person hears,
what he understands and what he
thinks he heard, We must believe
in love and accept others.

OHIP program
strands seniors
OHIP's extended health care
scheme is leaving senior citizens
who live in nursing homes and
need hospitalization kir over 72
hours stranded with no place to
go after their treatment.
According to a recent opinion
poll of Toronto Nursing Homes
many do not like the ruling and
would like to see it changed. New
(Life for Senior Citizens is so
concerned with the welfare and
well being of seniors that they
have launched a petition drive to
change the ruling.
The ruling says that seniors
beds in nursing homes will be
paid for by the government for
three days when they go into the
hospital, but no longer. The
pensioner or his relatives must
pay the full cost of holding a
nursing home bed if they have to
stay in the hospotal more than 72
hours, which adds up to around
$21.00 a day,
The problem of being stranded
arises when the patient has no
relatives or money to retain the
nursing home bed, sometimes the
relatives do not have enough
money themselves to keep the
bed for any great length of time,
One example of a senior being
marooned is the case of Mrs.
Jean Martin, a 66 year old nur-
sing home resident, who lost her
bed because she needed medical
attention longer than three days
and had no surviving relatives to
help pay the cost while she was in
the hospitaWean isenly one of the
few senior citizens who have run
into this problem.
One nursing home ad-
ministrator told New Life for
Senior Citizens that there often
isn't enough time to contact the
patients relatives to find out if
they will hold the nursing home
bed while he is in the hospital. By
the time they are contacted the
bed has been lost.
Another difficulty according to
some of the nursing home ad-
ministrators is that the doctor
can't always make an
assessment of the patients
condition, particularly on the
weekends, when the regular
physician will not be in until
Monday. If the senior goes in
Saturday, chances are they won't
be seen until Monday, and by
that time their bed in the nursing
home is lest to them.
Some administrators were
reluctant to increase the time
period as they felt amending the
ruling would be burdensome on
the government and the tax-
payer.
