despite the unions, or they'll move.
There will be a lot of blood on the
floor as privileged workers fight
and claw to hold onto their perch,
but eventually they will be knocked
off. The only people winning will
be those with a lot of money, who
own the factories that can go to
Mexico or Tennesee for cheap
labour. But the final joke may even
be on them. If the rest of us can't
afford to buy their product because
we have low paying jobs or no jobs
at all, their wealth may not last too
long.
Things just aren't the way
they were supposed to be and pro
ponents of free trade either goofed,
or were naive, or were downright
dishonest.
Letters to the Editor
Seniors Day Centre
asks for support
THE EDITOR,
The Wingham and Area Seniors
Day Centre greatly appreciates the
generous support of the community
during the past year.
The centre provides social and
recreational activities as well as a
nutritional noon meal to the elderly
homebound and other adults with
special needs from North Huron
and South Bruce Counties.
To date in 1991 we have serviced
a total of 120 clients in the Day
Centre. The Alzheimers Day Away
Program which started in 1990 is
filled to capacity and a need to
expand the number of program
days has been identified.
Besides community donations,
we receive funding from the Pro
vince of Ontario, Huron County,
Bruce County, Client Fees, and
Local Fundraising Activities.
As 1991 draws to a close we are
again asking you to help us reach
■, our goal for a total of $12,500 in
community donations.
Your support and participation in
meeting this goal will enable us to
continue to offer the high quality
programming that currently exists.
As a registered charitable organi
zation we will acknowledge all
contributions with a receipt for
Income Tax Purposes. Please make
cheques payable to:
The Wingham and Area Seniors
Day Centre
P.O. Box 939
Wingham, Ontario

Thank you for your continued
support!

Chairperson of the
Board of Directors.
Thanks given
to care givers
THE EDITOR,
October 20 - 27 is designated
“Homemaker/Home Support Work
er Week.”
Congratulations to the staff of
Town and Country Homemakers
and Para-Med Health Services for
the excellent care they provide to
Huron County Care clients.
Without the help of trained
homemakers, many clients could
not remain in their own homes.
Home Care has been contracting
services from these agencies for
many years. We are continually
impressed with the skill of home
makers to balance their duties with
companionship to our clients.
Thank you for your hard work
and dedication.
Ms. Joanne Jasper Director,
Huron County Home
Care Program.
Correction
The headline in a letter to the edi
tor in the October 9 issue of The
Citizen, should have said staff
members, not volunteers were hon
oured by Town and Country Home
makers. The organization does
honour volunteers but not at this
time of the year.
We regret the error.
