That was the message from two members of the Victorian Order of Nurses, when they spoke to the South Huron Hospital Auxiliary at their meeting Tuesday. Guest speakers were VONs Gwen Berry and Cathie Rutter. Both nurses were from the Perth -Huron organization, and they stressed the importance of keeping a family together, and providing care in the patient's own home. Mrs. Berry gave a slide Auxiliary Will host conference The members of the South Huron Hospital Auxiliary will be hosting the regional conference this spring. Plans are being finalized for the gathering which will be held at the South Huron Rec Centre April 27. Conference chairman Lillian Campbell says that auxiliary members from across region two will be attending. That area encom- passes St. Marys, Tillson- burg. Cambridge. Guelph, Kitchener. Mt. Forest, Fergus. Goderich, Clinton, Wingham. Palmerston. Seaforth. and Woodstock. It has been .11 years since the group met in Exeter. Conferences are held each spring and fall. Mrs. Campbell says that if everyone attends there would be 279 members pre- sent. However. she has been told to expect a crowd of between 100 and 200. Workshops at the con- ference will include such programs as leadership training. in-service programs and co-ordinating volunteers. Also included will be information sessions and presentations of awards and scholarships. Special guests will be the provincial chairman Janet Becker of Grimsby and vice- president of the Ontario Hospital Auxiliary Peggy Menzies of Clinton. Visitors will be invited to tour South Huron Hospital. At their auxiliary meeting Tuesday. members volunteered to make muffins for the coffee breaks at the conference Mrs. Campbell said that most of the preparations are well un- derway ' My work started last November. but now everyone is working together: she said. presentation, which included a history of the VON. The organization was founded in Halifax in 1898, 83 years ago, by Lady Aberdeen, wife of the governor-general. One of the reasons for the formation of the organization was to provide nurses who could travel to the Klondike in the Yukon to care for the many people who went there in the Gold Rush. Today, most of the patients who are cared for by VONs are elderly. They also look after people recovering from accidents or from surgery. They conduct pre -natal classes, and help new mothers. As well, they visit families where there are diabetics, handicapped children, and so on. Mrs. Berry explained the Victorian Order of Nurses is a non-profit organization, and that all costs are kept to a minimum. Last year the price of a visit by a VON was $12.50. However, the organization suffered a deficit, so this year the price was raised to ;16.90, she said. Patients very seldom pay out of their own pocket, Mrs. Berry added. Often the Ontario Health Insurance Program or some govern- ment body will pay the ex- penses. Sometimes the costs will be covered by Veterans Affairs, or by the Workman's Compensation Board. Some costs are borne by insurance programs. VONs are easily identified by their navy blue uniform. Mrs. Rutter and Mrs. Berry said that a few years ago, they switched to a "cran- berry colour" uniform, but they were happy to return to the basic navy. Most VONs enjoy their work for the variety in- volved, the nurses said. VONs also enjoy visiting with the patient in his own home, and they like being able to travel throughout the countryside, rather than staying within a hospital. •6117ceot Favourite recipes submitted by our readers ti Peter's Layer Pie with Yogurt Topping 8 oz. onions - chopped 1 !b. potatoes - cooked and thickly sliced 8 oz. cold roast beef - minced 8 oz. tomatoes - skinned and sliced 1 oz. butter 1 tsp. mixed herbs 2 tbsp. tomato puree' 1 tsp.
