behaviour and yet there is no cure
or vaccine. The virus can be
dormant in your body for 10 years
but you could still spread it. It is
important that everyone knows that
it is through intercourse or blood
that this disease spreads. Six
people of Huron County have
already died of it. Mrs. Tina Empey
thanked Miss Aitkin and presented
her with a gift.
Grace was said and a delicious
lunch was served by the hostesses

a patient and gave some good
tips while visiting an elderly
person in a home: plan to have
arrangements with the person;
if you take flowers take a small
arrangement and have it put on
the dinner table for others to
enjoy too; if you play piano or
musical instruments play for all
the patients; always go to visit
with a smile, no matter how you
feel and share your skills in
crafts, etc.; take children or pets
if allowed so they can cuddle
them; phone or send mail to
them; take photo books and
reminisce; take them a calendar
so you can mark down when
you’ll visit next so they have
something to look forward to,
and above all have patience.
Take them on a shopping
spree, even to look if they are
able to and also get them
interested in the recreation pro
vided at the home and play
games with them.
