Centennial wade marshal/ says 'Thanks'
ION Grant Street
Evanston, Illinois

Sirr
My wife, Margaret, and I want to publicly
express our great appreciation to the Bru-
ssels Centennial Committee and to all of
the fine PeOple of Brussels for the honor
you accorded me as a representative of
the descendants of William. Henry Ainlay,
the Founder of Ainlayville, by serving as
Parade Marshall during the centennial Cel-
ebration. Everyone was so warm and gracious
to us and because of that -we shall always
feel a strong bond of friendship with the
community of Brussels.
We can't begin to thank everyone - but
there were Harold and Karen Bridge, Dav_-
id and Karen Hastings and Murray and Ruth
Lowe who came all the way to our home
in Evanston to present the original invi-
tation with pomp and ceremony - and fun!
Harold Bridge did a masterful job of driv-
ing the Marshall's car in the parade. We
were touched and pleased when the lovely
little daughter of the Bridge's Colleen, pre-
sented the beautiful roses to Margaret that
were given to her by the Brussels Cen-
tennial Committee. Also, when David and.
Darrel Hastings presented me with the Atlas -
the Historical Atlas of Huron. County Ont-
ario, Illustrated, 1879 M that was given to
us by Jack and Mary Bryans. OtherS
We well remember are: Reeve MeCutcheon
for his warm welcome to us; Mrs. Amy
Speirs and the Majestic Women's Institute
for initiating the program, to restore the
William Ainlay gravestone; Mrs. Matheson
for her historical research and presentation
at the historical, plaque dedication; the fish-
ing derby at Hugh Pearson's lake (our
grandson, John, a great-great-great grand-
Son of William the Founder of Ainlayville,
enjoyed that very much); and a hearty thanks
to the Lions Club for the delicious break-
fast in the park; and especially our thanks
to Jack and Mary Bryans for - making us
feel so welcome in their home and keeping
us in touch with the festivities and all that
was going on. We want to give a special
thanks to the. Centennial Committee for
presenting to us the two antique chairs
bearing the label Wade In Ainlayville, Can,
ada West?'
Incidentally, several people asked us
about the correct spelling of the -name
Ainlay. Most people who are net familiar
with the correct spelling of Ainlay use the
letter E as in Ainley. Old documents and
family records definitely show the correct
spelling to be Ainlay. This documentation
includes signatures of William Henry Ainlay
the Founder of Ainlayville.
The Brussels Centennial.Committee and
the Brussels, community are certainly to
be congratulated upon an exeeptionally well-
planned Centennial program. We were sorry
that it was necessary for us to leave early
Sunday morning - we wish that we could
have attended the programs planned for
that day; too.
Again, please accept our thanks and
deepest appreciation for the wonderful re-
ception we were given in Ontario's most
beautiful village -,Brussels!
Most sincerely,
John A. Ainlay

1872 Home care program
provides assistance
in time of crisis

Most people at some time
have experienced a need for ob-
taining temporary help in the
home, either due to illness or
for care of an elderly relative.
When this crisis occurred, it
often has been difficult to obtain
someone. It was a case of
asking the next door neighbour,
or friends, hoping someone would
know a person who would pro-
vide help. A lot of time and
energy was expended before
a suitable person was, found.
There now has been some
improvement in this situation.
During the past year, through
the co-operation of the Manpower
Office in Goderich and Conestoga
College, Huron Centre, Clinton,
thirty-six women have obtained
a certificate as a Certified
Visiting Homemaker. At present
they work on a self-employed
basis and their services may be
obtained by contacting -
Manpower office, Goderich
Social Services, Goderich
Home Care Progrann,Seaforth
Homemakers are available
for (1) private employment i.e.
a private individual who pays
for the Homemaker service
themselves. (2) Agency employ-
ment i.e. the Agency pays 'for
the Homemaker service when
it is required. For example,
Home Care Program, Social
Service or Childrens' Aid.
Homemakers are available on
an hourly basis up to a maximum
of 8 hrs. a day, Monday to
Friday. Full time homemaking

zentruber, R.R. 4d1russels

Medal in Clinical Nursing.
and weekends may be discussed
with the Homemaker if required.
At present live-in-Homemak-
ers are difficult to find according
to Mrs. Betty Cardno who heads
the Home Care program. Any-
one who would be interested in
providing this service should
contact either the Manpower
office or the Home Care Pro-
gram.
Homemakers are not house-
keepers or cleaning ladies. The
name Homemaker describes the
service provided - keeping
a home together when the per-
manent homemaker is ill or
absent.
Her duties consist of -
Day to day care of a home
such as dusting, vacuuming, pre-
paring meals or special diets,
laundry and ironing.
Personal care - such as
sponge bath, foot care, , sham-
pooing hair - supervising medi--
cations.
When she is employed by
the Home Care Program she is
also expected to follow the
directions of the V.O.N. nurse
or Physiotherapist in providing
the necessary care for the Home
Care patient.
For anyone who is in good
health and who enjoys meeting
people, providing home-
making can be a very rewarding
experience. Not only do the
Homemakers feel rewarded, but
the residents of Huron County
benefit by having available a
resource of mature, reliable
Homemakers to meet their
temporary needs at times of
crisis.
