ONTARIO WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 15 1976 Thinking of a gift FOR CORONAS PINETREE CRESTENETS I have felt until now the most important thing at Pinecrest, we the people. Yes, each one an individual with a personality of their own. I do not have the slightest idea what to.call those people because some think they are being held prisoner, and try to escape to the home they no longer have. Others have the feeling it is like a concen- tration camp, others feel like patients in a ' hospital, and others just don't care. Not a single one has the deep rooted feeling that "This is my home".' There are a great number who spend their waking hours in the best part of their past lives. Very rarely do you hear about the' rough spots of the past years. Yes we are ..a very, shall I say, unrealistic group. Because of the different' kinds of nursing care that we must, have, and also the " different ways that we must react to that care. There are some who can find two or three things to grumble about every day while others are so thankful and don't forget to say so. There are those who do everything they can to help themselves, others like to be petted and waited, upon, Others just don't seem to give a, oops, care about anything. But really taking us ill around like you would an old iron' pot, we are not such a bad lot. While the most of us are classed in the older age bracket, there are a small number who are considerably younger. A wheel chair is something you see each time in looking out your door, either under the rider's efforts or being pushed by an attendant. How those girls can conform their bodies to get through the wild traffic is always a time consuming sight for me sometimes. I think that they are contortionists. There are a, few games of, cards, the. London Free Press is read from cover to cover daily. There are very few readers to any extent Our mail is both posted and delivered (to us) daily. Conversation Is often quite difficult because of either a low voice, or one being hard of hearing. But when there is entertainment, every one who is able at all is there. One can watch their lips, and hands or feet moving, These are, the things that greatly help to make each one of us feel that we still belong. Because of •the planning, arranging the, transporta- tion, the entertainment,, and then each one leaving a little bit of themselves. It is still a truly great difference m those, who seem' to have the ought that this is a bone heap, so let them be until it is time to read the will, as after that there is a chance to reap a harvest that was worked so hard for and that they are getting freel The surrounding countryside should be very proud of Pinecrest, not as a nursing home but as a home where their forefathers and mothers can get the care° that it would be impossible to give them at home and yet spend much time with them. Well, maybe not as much, but at least they can be with Pinecrest I can not quote each. person's mind, all I can do is speak for Mame and I. Home is what you will always hear me call. it. Yes it was tough at first, in fact it is still at times. But we are so satisfied here and hope to be calling It home until we have our own little 6'2(6'.x4 after which, well, what difference will it make? May we all call Pineccest home and thank God for the privilege. Respectfully submitted, C. A. Higgins.
