We have enjoyed several special events, star- ting with the Ice Cream Parlour, on September 1. The ice cream was delicious and enjoyed by all. Our minister for the September 3 church service was Rev. Bob Sinasac. We also had the pleasure of listening to Phillipa Steckle who was .our volunteer pianist. On Wednesday, September 3 in the evening we ' watched "The Backbreaking Leaf." It was all about the tobacco harvest, and the backbreaking manual labour that is involved. It was very interesting as well an an eye-opener! The following morning, September 4 we had a fun sing -song. Joyce Pep- per was our pianist, while Carol Gascho was our enthusiastic' song leader. It was a very enjoyable morning. On Friday afternoon Father Mooney held his monthly service at 2:00 p.m., which was enjoyed by all who attended. Also, on this day we had some newcomers to our home -17 goldfish, and all are doing just fine! To begin Monday, September 8, many of us enjoyed the spring-like weather by taking relaxing walks, and taking in the last breaths of summer. On Tuesday afternoon we all sat around the piano and sang our favourite hymns. To our delight we had Dorcas Gingerich and Theodore Gray as our talented pianists, and Lorne Johnston who accompanied them on his violin. On Wednesday evening we enjoyed the movie "Bighorn" which starred John Denver. It was a beautiful nature film, that really opened our eyes to the wonderful wilderness. On Thursday, September 11, we had an eventful afternoon with several games. There were many par- ticipants as well as lots of fun! Also, on Thursday we were gearing up for our big excursion to the Western Fair on Friday! When Friday finally arrived it was worth the wait. We enjoyed the many sights and sounds of the Western Fair. We enjoyed the music, livestock and the many exhibits. We were fortunate to have Nick Van Duyn and Iva Reid as volunteers on this special day. It will be a day that will hold fond memories for all of us. We are happy to welcome Con- estoga College Health Care Aides to Queensway and look forward to their participation and ideas concerning the activities at Queensway.

The readers Wrote Dear Editor, A task force has been set up to hold public meetings across Ontario on how midwifery should be practised and how midwives should be educated. Governments in other countries support midwifery pro- grams because of their excellent record of safety and their cost effectiveness. Canada is the only industrialized country in the World health Organization that does not recognize midwives. A midwife is a highly trained pro- fessional who works within the health care team spending many hours giv- ing continuous care right through pregnancy, birth and some weeks after. She does not work only within the -home, she works in a variety of settings, clinics, birthing centres and hospitals. She is trained to recognize problems and complications and make referrals to the patient's doctor whilst continuing to give support to the family. Ontario is planning to set up' a strong midwifery profession. They need input from the public on the kind of midwifery care that will benefit families in the future. Write and let them know how you feel, to: The Ontario Task Force on the Im- plementation of Midwifery, 700 Bay Street - 14th Floor, Toronto. N5(; 17,6.
