The new committee has been given a mandate to study communications issues on behalf of the board. During October, the committee will undertake an informal need assessment in order to determine effective strategies for creating better public understanding and support for the school system. As well as surveying all school board employees, opportunity will be given to parents in some school communities to offer suggestions about how the Board might improve its image with the families it serves. People in general are also to be encouraged to contact local trus­ tees or school principals to offer comment or suggestions. Contact with the committee may also be made by calling Linda Bosman at the Education Centre in Clinton before October 27. The committee will study the information provided at its next meeting, and will establish priori­ ties that will be developed into a major presentation to be made to all Board employees next May.

BRINDLEY BARRYGRAY BRIANRINTOUL FURTHER INFORMATION CALL: 519-529-7625 529-7970 TERMSCASHORCHEQUEDAYOFSALE LUNCHONGROUNDS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ACCIDENTS Day Centre plans busy October BY GLORIA WORKMAN Do you find that the leaves are falling off the trees much earlier this year? Does this mean that winter will be settling soon? Not a comforting thought for most, especially for the older adult who doesn ’t drive a snowmobile or own apair of cross-country skis. For these people winter can seem incredibly long. I hear that the winters are somethingelseinthisarea. The Wingham and Area Day Centre for the Homebound operates all year round with the help of volunteer drivers who pick the seniors up at their front doors. If you know of someone who may benefit from the program this winter, please do not hesitate to call at 357-1440. If the person is interested in the pro­ gram, the staff atthecentre will arrange a referral visit to explain the program and get to know the possible new client. What’shappeningforthe month of October? The Grade Eleven Family Studies Class from F.E. Madill Secondary School in Wing­ ham will be our special guests on several afternoons this month. The purpose of the visits is to introduce the students to the day centre and the lives of senior citizens in this area. Actually it will be an educational experience for both groups. Meeting new people can beaneducational experience in itself. Foot Clinics will be held Tues­ day, October 7and Wednesday, October 22. This service is provid­ ed by the Community Nursing Services for a five dollar fee and is open to the general public by appointment only. Please call the centre at least one day in advance at 357-1440. We will be attending the Health Fair (sponsored by the Huron County Health Unit) on October 15 at F.E. Madill Gymnasium. This will be an excellent opportunity for the seniors to see what’s new in the area of health services. The Wingham and District Hospital Auxiliary will be holding their annual Rummage sale in the armouries building on October 17, therefore there will be NO program on October 16 in order to allow the Auxiliary to set up for their sale. We are fortunate to have Lorette Devitry, an exchange student from France (who attends F.E. Madill) as a guest speaker on October 23. Lorette is going to explain Life in France and then open the way for questions that the seniors may have. It’s always interesting to learn how people live in different countries. Everyone is busy preparing for the Christmas Craft and Bake Sale that will beheld sometime in late November. We have many inter­ esting projects on the go. If anyone has any ideas that they would like to share with us please come to the Armouries Monday to Friday 8:30 - 4:30. We are always looking for new ideas. I attended a workshop (sponsor­ ed by the Older Adults Centres Association of Ontario) on Fitness For Seniors. I was so excited by it thatljusthadto mention it. The workshop was lead by Barbara Rosen Schreiber of the Joseph E. and Minnie Wagman Centre for Geriatric Care in Toronto. Barb has a background in physical education that she applies to people 55 years and older. She combines music with a little dance a lot of movement to increase the physical fitness levels of seniors. One of the main emphasis of the workshop was that exercising can be and should be FUN. We hope to incorporate some of Barbara’s ideas during the exer­ cise portion of the program here at the centre. ‘‘Successful physical activity can be exhilirating and is a real challenge to the stress of today’s lifestyles. With care and good judgement exercise can help you enjoy a happier life.” ••OCTOBER 31** Hospital Auxiliary hears about CPR Mr. Lynn Hickey of the Ambul­ ance Department of the Wingham and District Hospital told members of the Hospital Auxiliary at their meetingon Sept. 22 what emer­ gency action one can take if in the presence of someone who chokes. He explained why one cannot swallow and take a breath at the same time, and that choking results when food gets into the windpipe. If any noise indicates that some air is getting through, it is best to allow the victim to try to work it out for himself, but if the victim cannot make any noise, it is important to interfere immediately as there are only four minutes left to maintain life. Mr. Hickey demonstrated to the group the action to take if the victim is conscious, and gave instructions for working with an unconscious victim. He stressed that, since choking leaves so little time for professional help to arrive, it is extremely important that members of the general public learn the details of the correct way to help. He strongly recommended that people take the CPR course which is available at the hospital at least once a month. It takes 8-12 hours of one’s time, and is organized in a number of ways to suit a variety of time schedules. Inquiries may be made at the hospital office. A question and answer period was included, and the topic was obviously of much concern to those present. Mrs. Wood thanked Mr. Hickey for his effective presenta­ tion. The meeting decided to express the Auxiliary’s concern about the subject to the Public Health Services of Bruce County, Huron County and Wingham with the purpose of urging promotion of wider public knowledge of the matter and increased public partic­ ipation in training. Mrs. Wood presided over the business meeting. The Book Cart Committee would appreciate fur­ ther donations of family magazines and light weight pocket novels, and asks that these be left at the gift shop. Three new memberships were paid bringing the paid total to 84. Lucknow members will try to hold a marathon bridge with interested women in their area this winter, with Mrs. Jean Whitby in charge of arrangements. The Rummage Sale will be held in the Wingham Armouries on Friday, October 17, and Goodwill has agreed to pick up leftover items. Twenty Teen Volunteers have now been prepared for work during the year ahead and Teen Volunteer badges will be purchased for them to wear on their uniforms. It was decided to open the Gift Shop from 7 - 8:30 in the evenings in addition to the afternoon hours. It is hoped that the Auxiliary table at the Craft Fair at the Legion on Nov. 15 will make the public more aware of our Gift Shop. Apprecia­ tion was expressed for the gift shop shower items which had been brought to the meeting. The Craft Group is currently quilting on Wednesday afternoon, 1:30 - 4, in the Auxiliary room, and when this project is completed it will meet two Wednesday after­ noons a month to work on Christmas sale items. 110 newslet­ ters were distributed this fall to interested persons. The new hospi­ tal whirlpool is on order.
