Rural outreach plans focus on seniors
The needs of senior citi-
zens in Huron County and
the services available to meet
them will be the main focus
of Rural Development
Outreach Project (RDOP)

it was decided at a meeting
Achievement Days are
quickly approaching for the
Homemaking Clubs
sponsored by the Ontario
Ministry of Agriculture and
Food and local county volun-
teer leaders. This summer
the members have been
involved in a "Garden Club"
with an emphasis on
"Preservation".
During this project all
members have been quite
busy growing a garden con=
taming at least ten veget-
ables and four annual
flowers. They also have
learned how to preserve their
produce, for enjoyment in the
winter months by pickling,
freezing, canning and cold
storage methods.

In the middle of one of the
hottest, drycst summers on
record, St. John Ambulance
reminds you that heat can be
a menace. It causes a loss of
body fluids and salt that can
lead to heat exhaustion.
Elderly and obese people are
most susceptible, but it can
catch anyone, even children.
Normally over exertion will
cause it, but on a very hot
day, you'll lose energy jusl
sitting around. On days like
that, make the kids sit down
and cool off ocicasion ally, and
be sure everyone drinks lots
of water.
Water's part of the treat-
ment if heat exhaustion does
strike. It shows as, a ,
shock like condition, with
dizziness, muscle cramps,
cold, clammy skin and some-
times nausea and diarrhea.

If he's unconscious, don't

Anne Stewart of Seaforth,
a student employed by the
RDOP for the summer,
reported on an intensive
survey of the North Huron,
area she has been doing in
order to compile a list of all
services provided for senior
citizens by non-agency
groups.
She said she found that
while there are many groups
helping seniors (168 to date)
the distribution is very un-
even, with most concentrated
in Wingham, Brussels and
Blyth. Since this community
base is already in existence
the committee is hoping to
work with the local groups
and learn the working of
their specific programs, a
representative said. Other
parts of the county might be
able to adapt some of the
programs to .their areas.
It was also pointed out that
as the population continues
become "top heavy" due to a
declining birth rate the needs
ofsenior citizens will become
increasingly more important.
Statistics released by the
Science Council of Canada
indicate the proportion of
aged people is higher in
small urban centres than in
either the large centres or
farming regions. In Wing-
ham 18 per cent of the
population is over age 65, the
committee was told.
The committee decided an
opportunity exists for Huron
County to develop and co-
ordinate a program for senior
citizens which might be
applicable to other rural
areas in Ontario.
