Smile and bows Jannyne Salverda got a treasure she wanted when she purchased a bow at the annual Burns U.C.W. bazaar and tea at the Londesboro Community Hall Wednesday. The event, as usual, was a big success. Separate school bd. sets building guidelines A recommendation was passed by the Huron-Perth Roman Catholic Separate School Board at its meeting of October 7, that St. Michael's Secondary School in Stratford, be built under the con­ struction management concept.

A motion to increase trustees' honorarium by five percent was defeated unanimously by the board. The existing annual honorarium of $6,000 for trustees and $7,200 for the chairperson will remain in effect. The Chairperson asked trustees to stale their intent to run in the upcoming election. Those indicat­ ing that they are planning to run were: Bernard Murray, Ben Brown, Don Rivera, Mike Ryan, Arthur Haid, Betty Jorna, Debbie Rabidoux, Steve Murray, Ron Marcy, Louise Martin and John Devlin. Trustees Ron Murray and Ernie Vanderschot have decided not to seek re-election. Trustee Vincent Mclnnes said he was unde­ cided at the time, but has since filed his papers as a candidate. Letter from the editor Continued from page 5 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 NOG 2W0, Thank you for your continued support! William Woodley 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.
