Will remember the sick

COSTLY
"We try to get the family
involved on the transporta-
tion but it is a costly affair,"
said Mrs. St. Jean.
There are 45 volunteer
drivers in the programme.
Some drive occasionally and
others several times a week.
Mileage of 21c per mile is
paid.
Volunteers from all over
the county come to be part of
the program and help out.
All are interviewed and
assigned to help in an area
that interests them most.
Some elderly volunteers
come to chat or serve tea.
Paid workers are the full 11111/11111h6L '
time co-ordinator Mrs. St.
Jean, as well as one part time
volunteer co-oydinator and
two part time activity
personnel. Like many jobs
dealing with people the
number of .small jobs that
make the program so special
are not included in any list of
duties. The comfort and well
being of the clients comes
first and foremost.
An old Chinese saying
opened the Guild meeting on
Tues. Nov. 21. Carol Innes
presented a very interesting
& informative message on
"The Beautiful Face." This
is the story of Mary an-
nointing Jesus in which she
stressed Mary's beautiful
deeds.
Motive -- Love & Loyalty to.
Jesus.
Originality -- p; v es in her
own way.
Abandon -- gives , of her
Best.
Helpfulness -- helps Jesus
prepare for the cross.
Timing -- anoints Jesus
before his death.
Marguerite Krauter con-
ducted the business portion
of the meeting. "The
nominating committee pre-
sented the slate of officers
for the ensuing year. In order
to increase the attendnace at
the meetings, VVinnifred
Edgar offered to contact the
members prior to the
meeting commencing in
January.
Group three will provide
the lunch after this Sunday's
service. Helen Elliott and
Marg Sweeney will revise the
groups and their leaders for

ahead until Thursday, Dec.
14th when members are to

rite Krauter with the usual

with a poinsetta & the:-
group will present a Reader's
Digest. Music Book to the
_Callander Nursing Home.
The meeting adjourned
and lunch was served by
Jean Edgar and Carol Innes.
By Rhea Hamilton.
Everyone was smiling and
the small rooms were
bustling with activity. Voices
were heard echoing and
laughing through the corri-
dors and every so often one
would be raised in fond
bantering.
Give up? The location is
the Day Centre located at
Huronview east of Clinton.
The people involved in the
Day Centre program are
endlessly busy doing any and
everything from crafts,
sports, bingos, singsongs to
organizing bowling outings.
But the memory of the
centre will forever be that of
smiling faces.
The day centre is not a part
of Huronview but takes
advantage of facilities there.
The program was started to
help get homebound people
out and back into the swing
of living. The only require-
ment for members is that
'they be homebound due to
age or disability. At the
present, the program, under
the guidance of Anne St.
Jean of Auburn is full with 12
people enrolled daily.
The Day centre in its first
year of operation has
illustrated a need for such a
service in other parts of the
county. It is one of 17 pilot
projects across Ontario
funded 80% by the Ontario
Ministry of Community and
Social Services. The other
20% comes from user fees, a
$2 per day. The Centre is
also funded by a New
Horizons grant under the
direction of a group of
seniors "Active Seniors
Helping the Homebound"
from various parts of the
county.
AT HOME
The idea behind people
attending Day Care is to have
them maintain their way of
life at home rather than be
institutionalized. "They get
backed in by fear" said Mrs.
Anne St. Jean. "Fear of
being alone and no one to
care often brings them."
The program also provides
relief for those taking tare of
elderly or disabled or and
who fear the day when they
might not be there to help.
"They get involved here
and find that when they get
home they have something to
contribute to the family.
Mrs. St. Jean said "They
DAILY
A short conference held
at the beginning of each day
as staff and volunteers go
over the activities planned
and any special needs of
clients.
While this meeting takes
place the clients start the day
off with coffee and a social
gathering. This is followed
by some physical activity
such as shuffle' board, darts
or walking in the fresh air:
There are two special days
set aside in the week for a
stroke club and a quiet day.
,The stroke club has
evolved into quite an
involved group who get
together to help one another
get over their problems.
"We try to encourage
regular attendance" said co-
ordinator Anne St. Jean.
"It is a support group"
Mrs. St. Jean said. "They
share problems and help
each other get over them."
The activities encompass
therapy as well as crafts to
help muscle strength, co-or-
dination and range of•
motion, The club is presently
full but efforts are being
made to have clubs in other
areas set up.
QUIET DAY
Friday is Quiet Day and is
