He could, too, if he had o Surefire wood add- on or oil -wood combination furnace. He hasn't, because he doesn't need one. He hibernates. If you aren't going to hibernate, and if you have a wood suppply, consider installing a Surefire. You'll make good wages chucking wood.

A lot of people want so see recreation in the village more organized Shapton said and she feels the rec committee will help get people more involved. The only thing holding back a soccer league is the need for a willing. coach. Shapton noted Exeter soccer teams were willing to compete against Hensall players. Certain programs may face competition from other regional facilities as well. Shapton pointed out that with the high school nearby, Exeter was the place to go for roller skating. "If the parents have to drive the kids", Shapton said, they are more likely to say "walk" if roller skating was available in the village. Shapton will graduate this June from the recreation leadership program of Con- estoga College.. The two-year program offers a variety of courses on everything from administration • to programming. Her courses also included facilitiy design, programs for special populations such as disabled persons, and even grant applications, which may assist organizing groups.

We have some very fine ones in our area and there'are just some of the things to look for in choosing a nursing home. • 1. Consult first with your doctor as to the par- ticular type and amount of care required. 2. Visit the facility yourself, alone. 3. Does the home provide all the services your doctor requires? 4. If the patient is dependent on a provincial or private insurance plan, does the nursing home participate? 5. Who is the "house" doctor? Is he available on staff : or on-call 24 hours? How many registered nurses? 6. Are emergency patient transfers to 0 hospital provided for? - 'How far away is it? 7. What is the exact total monthly charge covered and what is and is NOT covered. Be sure to discuss with the patient's doctor other special services he may require --special diet, exercise, personal attention, etc. Th.
