Canada's top cattlemen use
Canada's top-selling dewormer.
0'
It's all a matter of dollars. And
sense. Canada's top cattlemen know
that deworming beef cattle is a good
business practice. Especially when
market conditions are not at their
hest. Dewormed cattle arc healthier
cattle. And healthy cattle gain the
way they should.
TRAMISOI, is Canada's top-
ing dewormer. because T10\11501
is a broad-spectrum dewormer that
combats all major types of worms that
cause losses in beef cattle. including
lungworm. TRAMISOI, may he
administered to cattle by injection,
bolus. drench or feed pellets.
If Canada's top cattlemen deworm
with TRAVI1501,. shouldn't vou',.)

THE BRUSSELS POST, NOVEMBER 25, 1981 — A13
Horticultural group
to •do new planting
BY BY JANIS ACHESON
We haye been very busy
this past little while with
many varied events taking
place.
Our September Birthday
Party was hosted by the
Moncrief Institute to help
Jalmar Pietikainen, Seth
Pride and Mrs. Elsie Shaw
celebrate their September
birthdays. The ladies baked a
"cake of life" which the
residents found very interest-
ing. They also held a sing-
song and afterwards served
cupcakes and muffins to
everyone. It was a very
enjoyable afternoon.
Mrs. Maggie MacDonald
and George Hislop were our
October bowling champions.
Our Sunday Church ser-
vices are working out well and
we appreciate the efforts of
the local Churches in provid-
ing these for us.
On Saturday, October 17,
Gordon Harrison of Goderich,
came to Callander to play the
piano for our residents. He
provided us with a delightful
afternoon of listening as well
as dancing music and we very
much appreciate his efforts
on our behalf.
We would like to welcome
Mrs. Frances Vanderveen to
Callander Nursing Home as a
Volunteer. Mrs. Vanderveen
is interested in working with a
group of residents on handi-
crafts.
On Monday, October 5,
Callander, held as Volunteer
Pot Luck Supper with Janis
Acheson acting as master of
ceremonies. The supper was
well-attended with 25 guests
present. Opening remarks
were made by Roger Keay
who welcomed everyone to
the Home and thanked those
volunteers who spend their
time, providing friendship to
our residents. Wendy Hei-
bein, our Student Volunteer
Coordinator, spoke on behalf
of our student volunteers
?about the personal rewards
they receive by giving of their
time to the residents. .After
the meal, the student volun-
teers led everyone in a
sing-song and following that,
amused us with a hilarious
skit which everyone enjoyed.
Mrs. Debbie Trollope, our
Activity Assistant, was also
on hand to share information
about our existing activation
programming as well as our
future plans. Our guest

speaker for the evening was
Pastor Doug Zehr. His talk,
entitled "What is So Special
About A Volunteer?", was
fascinating. The following are
excerps from his talk. "Most
of our major accomplish-
ments in life start out as little
things. Then they begin to
grow, to take on size and
importance. Our attitudes
shape the direction of our
actions and our actions shape
the direction of our lives.
'Sow a thought, reap and act,
Sow an act, reap a habit,
Sow a habit, reap a character,
Sow a character, reap a
destiny'.
To me that is kind of repre-
sentative of what happens
when it comes to the kind of
person a volunteer is. A
volunteer is a special kind of
person. By and large volun-
teers do not seek credit. They
don't want a fuss to be made
over them. Often they don't
see the significance of their
contribution because in the
total care package it seems so
small and insignificant. I
think that that is a myth. A
volunteer is an institution like
this one plays a valuable role
in giving residents the kind of
love, acceptance and security
they need to exist. The
commodity is time and recog-
nition. The Staff do their best,
beyond the call of duly...but
being here is their job...and
just like the rest of us, jobs
become jobs. You, as a
volunteef, are, here ,because
you want to be here. These
days most people are looking
out for number one. If you go
to the bookstore these days,
you will find almost nothing
on reaching out to the needs
of others. Yet reaching out to
the needs of others is the
most important thing we have
to do in life. I see God's
purpose for you and me to
bring hope and love wherever
we see despair and bitter-
ness. What's so special about
being a volunteer? Nothing is
more inportant than showing
people you care about them.
As a Minister and a Christian,
I maintain that Jesus is not
just a ticket to heaven, but
rather, is a way of life. He is
not interested so much in
what we say we believe, as in
what we show we believe.
From God's point of view, our
creed is our deed, not a
document we read in unison
from the back of a church
hymnal. God cares about
people, not abstractions.
'Whatever `you do for one of
the least of these, he says,
'that you do also for me.'
Matt. 25:40,45. I am' often
tempted to think that great-
ness is a matter of big
accomplishments. But in
reality greatness is being
there when you're needed.
That's what is so special
about being a volunteer." On
behalf of everyone, who bene-
fited by his lovely words,,, I
would like to thank Pastor
Zehr for his meaningful con-
tribution to our Supper.
Our October birthday party
was presented by the Brus-
sels Catholic Women's Lea -
gue, who helped Jim Lawrie,
Frank Dunn, Wes Heimple
and Ernest Michie celebrate
their October birthdays.
Some of their children, who
were dfessed up for Hallo-
we'en entertained the resid-
ents. After singing Happy
Birthday,' the ladies served
delicious goodies to every-
one.
As our Staff and their
children haunted the Nursing
Home on Hallowe'en night,
their costumes were judged
by three of our residents: Mr.
George Hislop, Mrs. Annie
Griffith and Mr. Ernest Mich-
ie. The outcome was as
follows: best costume, Mrs.
Betty Graber, Spookiest,
Mrs. Edna Pearson and Fun-
niest, Mst. Danny Hall. I
would like to thank the Staff
and their children for taking
the time to come to the
Nursing Home and entertain
the residents.
On Thursday, November
26, Caravan Clothes will be
coming to Callander Nursing
Home once again. This com-
pany carries a line of clothing
