Council passed a motion extend
ing the number of companies
providing home care to the elderly
and shut-ins from one to three.
Para Med, and Quality Care will
extend the services which arc
already being provided through
Country Homemakers. The motion
did not pass without some objec
tion.
Reeve and Deputy Reeve for
Exeter, Bill Mickle and Lossy
Fuller objected to the duplication
in services, along with the idea of
the two new private firms compet
ing with the publically funded
Country Homemakers. Warden
Brian McBurney spokeon behalf of
the Board of Health by saying that
there is a growing demand in the
county for such services, and that
those who need subsidizes will be
subsidized.

completed and the completion date
for the new building portion is
mid-January 1988.
