Blyth-area residents woke up to an unpleasant surprise last Wednesday morning when an overnight
snowfall dropped more than four inches of sopping- wet snow. The heavy snow broke off many branches of
trees with the leaves still on. Pat Jenkins | foreground] watches as Blyth and Wingham PUC crews work to
remove a tree limb that fell across a powerline and onto the back of her car. There was little snow in
Londesboro and none In Clinton.

THE EDITOR:
I am writing to clarify information
in the ‘’Letters to the Editor”
column in the recent issue concern
ing ‘‘Homemakers Week”.
The Huron County Home Care
Program is a Ministry of Health
funded program administered by
the Huron County Health Unit. The
program provides nursing, physio
therapy and other professional
services, as well as support services
such as homemaking.
Community Nursing Services and
the V.O.N. are contracted by the
Home Care Program to provide
visiting nursing services. Town and
Country Homemakersand Paramed
are contracted by the program to
provide homemaking services.
All of the above agencies strive to
maintain clients as independently as
possible in their own homes.

Community Nursing Services please

THE EDITOR:
On behalf of our mother Hillie
Thalen, we would like to let as many
people know what Town and Country
Homemakers have so far done and
meant to us. This is what a lot more
elderly people should know about:
thatthe re isahopeform ore older
people to be able to stay in their own
home if they do desire to want to do-
this, instead of being in a home
w here most of them feel lost and
forgotten by friends and relatives.
We have had the privilege to meet
with the Town and Country Home
makers now since January. They
have been very loving and caring for
our mother who is living with us.
With their help it has made it so
much easier for us. Plus knowing
that she is getting the loving care.
Not that it is just a job for these girls.
The only thing that is borthering
us that they do not get the pay they
deserve. We think that the Govern
ment should make it more of an effort
to help the Town and Country
Homemakers in any way possible,
because we both think that this is a
darn good thing for the older people.
Most of the time there is not enough
done for the elderly and the reallv

WARM UP THIS WINTER
This six inch square powerhouse has
amazed thousands of people.
Because it uses such a small
space.
Because it provides heat for a
large room and keeps it com
fortable. Efficient in smaller
rooms because it delivers only
as much heat as the room demands.
Because it saves money. Constant on-board mon
itor uses heat only on demand.
Most of all... because it is com
pletely safe. Nothing glows red
hot because nothing gets red
hot. Leave it running day and
night and even the cord stays
cool.

Let me explain the difference.
Enhanced Efficiency adds a Microcomputer to
monitor performance. Just set it on “auto" and it
does the rest.
A tip switch controls operation shutting off the
elements then the fan if a pet or child tips the unit
over.
A heat monitor (thermostat control) takes charge
turning the unit off when outside heat rises. It
makes it so completely automatic you can set it

year. It will continuously adjust to
room temperature and “sense"
when heat is needed. It will con
tinue to turn on or shut off on
its own.
You get total control between
zero and 28 degrees Celsius.
