Odds 'n ends
By Elaine Townshend
one small town to another.
In a large city, a twenty to
thi ty minute drive could be
filled with bumper to bumper
traffic and tedious waits at
red lights. The distance might
be only a few miles, and the
scenery might consist of
billboards, street signs and ce-
ment buildings, that all look
strangely alike.
In the country, a drive of
the same length could cover
twenty or more miles. One or
two stoplights could be the
limit of stops along the way.
The landscape is ever-
changing. There are small
towns and villages in which
each house, shop and church
Consider
bus service
If the need is clearly
demonstrated, physically
handicapped people in Huron
County could get a bus
transportation service
within the year.A steering
committee has set up a basic
outline for the service which
would initially be offered to a
small portion of the county,
but before the transportation
system can become a
reality, a need for it must be
established.
Sandy Fremlin, special
needs director at the
Vanrtstra Rec Centre, is
asking that all physically
disabled people in Clinton,
Seaforth, McKillop, Hullett
or Tuckersmith Townships,
who could use a bus service,
contact her at the ,Rec
Centre, 482-3544.
The steering committee
for the transportation needs
project is proposing that a
large van, with • ac-
commodation for nine
wheelchairs and eight
regular seats, be used to
drive, physically han-
dicapped people from their
homes to day care centres,
the Yanastra Rec Centre for
special programs, to town
for shopping, even to the
doctor's office, The travel
schedule will be based on the
participants' needs, and the
service will run two days a
week.
The service will be limited
to people, young and elderly, t
who are unable to use other
forms of transportation,
such as a car, because of
tlieir physical limitations. A "
van, with a special lift for t
wheelchairs, would provide h
many people with convenient
transportation and would cut h
down on the number of
volunteer drivers that now
service nursing homes and
day care centres. At the g
present time, Huronview is
the only nursing home in the s
area with a van.
ted with houses and barns.
In spring, summer and fall,
animals graze in the fields
and farm machines work the
land along the highway. The
type of machinery and the
type of work varies with the
season. A passerby can note
the progress from day to day.
Every highway includes
bridges that vary in width to
cross flowing rivers or tiny
creeks. Many a driver slows
his car in the spring to note
the rising of the water.
Depending on the time of
day, traffic in the country
might consist of a school bus
or two, a few cars and trucks
and sometimes farm
machinery.
Driving has its hazards, of
course. Some motorists are
always in a hurry; sun shin-
ing in the driver's eyes can
make visibility poor; and as
we all "know, winter driving
can be less than fun.
This past winter was the
first one that I had to drive to
work every day. It was in-
teresting, to say the least.
There were a few days in
which I crawled from one
village to the next thinking,
"Now who do I know in this
town who wouldn't mind hay-
ing a stranded motorist drop
in?"
Fortunately, most of the
bad storms happened on
weekends when I was home,
and on the other "testy" driv-
ing days, the silver volare
somehow made it through.
When the white -outs
cleared, the scenery was
spectacular- evergreens
and maples bowed under
snow and acres of farmland
swept with white. Often the
fields looked like a wave -
crested lake.
On some mornings, the
whole landscape seemed
mystically shrouded in white,
while on other mornings, the
sun shone brightly making,
snowbeams dance.
Now that spring has sup-
posedly arrived every day
seems to bring changes.
Even though the road I'm
travelling is one I've known
all my life, I've discovered
that driving on it every day
reveals things I hadn't notic-
ed before - a windmill stan-
ding alone in a field, a unique-
ooking farmhouse, an in-
eresting tree.
I've noted some unusual
sights as well. One day I met
n army tank. There was no
jeeps accompanying it, just a
ank rolling down the
ighway.
On another day, I saw a
ang glider soaring above a
ield. I was torn between two
houghts : "book how
raceful that is" and "Wow,
must be cold up there."
It was one of several special
ights I won't forget from the
inter of '82.

18 ignoring than, according to
Lavonne Ballagh, guest
speaker at the Town and
Country Homemakers fourth
annual meeting, April 7.
Our mLsconceptions and un-
willingness to feel lead us to
ignore seniors and their own
needs for love, the Wingham
hospital worker told the 150
assembled guests at the
Pineridge Chalet near Hen -
sail. "Some of them can't
seem to carry on an in-
telligent conversation, so we
think it is easier tostay away
from them," she said.
Ballagh defended their
need to be cared for, remin-
ding her attentive listeners
that one only needs to peruse
some old newspapers to see
that today's seniors were once
intelligent, influential people
living active lives. "It takes
something like tha t to show the
time limits on our own pro-
ductive lives," the Wingham
journalist said.
Two recent headlines drew
a sharp contrast between the
status of seniors today, she
said. The headlines read "In-
ternational Year of the Senior
Person," and "Granny
beaters on the increase."
"Which side of the headlines •
are we on?" she ventured.
A senior's wrinkles, for ex-
ample, are symbols of
memories of traumas in their
life, Ballagh pointed out, and
are proof they -are still able to
feel. Their great wisdom
comes from their life ex-
perience, not necessarily
from schooling, she added.
The fact that we will all be
old and feeble some day
should remind us of our
priorities when we are with
seniors, Ballagh said.
Later in the meeting, Rev.
Terry Trites read the finan-
cial statement and the
auditor's report. The figures
showed a $6,948 deficit for
1981. The members voted to
re -appoint Wingham accoun-
tant Barry Reid as the
organization's auditor for this
year.
In her report, chairman
Beverly Brown said this
year's finances were greatly
assisted by grants from the
county and the Ministry of
Community and Social Ser-
vices. A surprise change

ment awareness of the

plemented in areas where
chronic care is already in
place, Rutter said. However,
lobbying efforts are still going
on to get the program started
here in Huron County, and in-
dividual letters to Health
Minister Larry Grossman do
have an impact, members
were told.
Discuss equality
at teachers' event
Ontario Labour Minister
Russell Ramsay and
economist Monica Townson
were major speakers at a
conference on equal op-
portunity for women,
sponsored by the Federation
of Women Teachers'
Associations of Ontario
which represents the 30,000
women who teach in
Ontario's elementary public
schools.
The conference took place
Friday evening, April 2 and
all day Saturday, April 3 at
the Constellation Hotel,
Toronto.
Attending from this area
was Exeter resident Ila
Mathers of Seaforth Public
School.
The conference dealt with
affirmative action as a
means of achieving equal
opportunity. The Federation
has adopted as one of its
major goals the achievement
of voluntary affirmative
action programmes in every
school board in Ontario.
However, the Federation
recognizes that a law may be
required to force employers
to provide equality of op-
portunity if voluntary action
is not sufficient. The
Minister of Labour and other
speakers discussed the
question of voluntary vs
legislated affirmative ac-
tion.
Workshops dealt with
sexual harassment,
assertiveness training,
networking, power struc-
tures. 120 women teachers
and representatives from
other labour and women's
groups attended.
