Huron Cty. 4-Hers plan Battery Blitz The Huron County 4-H Leaders' Association with the help of 4-H members is sponsoring a Battery Blitz between June 1 and July 29. They will be receiving lead-acid batteries at five locations: Becker's Farm Equipment, Exeter; Vincent Farm Equipment, Seaforth; McGavin Farm Equipment, Walton; Townsend Tire, Londesboro; and Lucknow Co-op, Lucknow. These batteries will be recycled and the proceeds will go towards the 4-H program in Huron. The success of this program depends greatly on getting the message out to the people. The batteries are out there in the sheds, garages and even the bushes. Gather them up, clean up the environment and help the local 4-H program as well. You can lose a lot more than your licence drinking and driving. THE CITIZEN, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 8, 1994. PAGE 11.

The hymn Help us accept Each Other, was played by Marie McGavin. After singing the hymn, Helen Craig then gave a short presentation on Huludah the Prophet. The story about her is found in 2 Kings 22: 12-20. It began when clearing away some rubble a worker found a scroll. Taking it to the king he believed that the scroll would help lead the people to a renewal of faith in the land. They took it to a woman to have it read and the meaning explained. That woman was Huldah. She and her husband were the wardrobe keepers. The Bible calls her a prophet. It was interesting to note that the king and his aides had faith in her spiritual and intellectual powers. Her knowledge and faith touched everyone's lives in the kingdom. Legion, Aux. attend Duff’s Viola Kirkby greeted everyone on June 5 at Duffs United Church. Rev.

WHO SHOULD CONSIDER PRE-ARRANGING A FUNERAL? Some people do not have anyone living nearby who would be able to carry out the wishes of the individual at the time of death. We find some people, perhaps husbands and wives, who wish to take as much emotional pressure off the individual at the time of death. Various preferences with regards to their funeral services can be brought to the attention of the funeral director. Many people wish to advise of a certain passage of scripture or having the funeral from the church or funeral home. Each and every detail would be noted and placed on file. Most people simply wish to give some direction to their survivors so that they may know the type of service which is important to them. We hope we have answered some of your questions. Should you wish further information, please call the Bett’s Funeral Home for further details. 887-6336 Facilities are also available at Bett's Visitation Centre, Gorrie.

Long Term Care services include government funded services such as Long-Term Care Facilities (Nursing Homes and Homes for the Aged), Home Care, Visiting Nurses, Homemakers, Seniors' Day Centres, Alzheimer Programs and Attendant Services. The clients of these services are elderly people and adults with physical disabili­ ties as well as their families and friends who help look after the daily needs of those who are unable to do so for themselves. The Huron County Long-Term Care Planning Committee is composed of con­ sumers of Long-Term Care services, service providers and representatives of local government, service clubs, the ministerial association and advocacy groups for the physically handicapped. The Committee members come from all five geo­ graphic areas of the County: North (Wingham and area), East (Seaforth and area), West (Goderich and area), South (Exeter and area) and Central (Clinton and area.) The county Planning Committee members are: Key to Huron's planning for Long-Term Care services are the 5 local planning groups who meet in their own areas of the county. The local planning groups give advice and feedback to the county planning committee. Local planning groups meetings are open to all to allow participation of the many people who use Long- Term Care services. The dates and locations of the local planning groups are listed below: The Huron County Long-Term Care Planning Committee meets on the 3rd Thursday of each month. Through the winter, the meetings were held in Clinton. Now that the weather has improved, the meetings will move across the County. All Committee meetings are open to the public. The next meeting will lake place on June 16, 1994 at 9:30 a.m. at the Lion's Youth Centre, 125 John St. West, Exeter.

So far, their recommendations have included funding recommendations for Palliative Care Volunteer Programs and the allocation of short stay beds in the County's Long-Term Care facilities. Over the spring, summer and into the fall the planning committee and the local groups will be discussing the development of the Huron Multi-Service Agency. This new organization will provide easier access to a wide range of Long-Term Care services and streamline the administration of services now delivered by many agencies across the county. The Committee will also be getting help from the local planning groups to write a 3-5 year plan for Long-Term Care services to meet the needs of Huron County residents. These are important discussions and decisions about services that are very impor­ tant in peoples' lives. We invite you to get involved , to come to a meeting and voice your concerns, to talk to a member of the County Planning Committee or a member of the local planning group in your area. You have a chance to shape the future of these services. Come and join us. came to look and buy the varied articles displayed. All reported the day to be very successful.
