T -A photo Homemakers help in Huron Florence Keyes could not have returned to her home on William Street to convalesce from the effects of a stroke that hospitalized her for three weeks in September 1981 without the services of Huron County's Town and Country Homemakers. At first Mrs. Keyes re- quired daily help from Homemaker Jean Gladding, plus assistance from a VON and a therapist. The Homemaker came in for four hours each day, made breakfast for her client cook- ed a hot dinner at noon, and prepared food for the evening meal. Initially Mrs. Keyes also needed a great deal of per- sonal care. As Mrs. Keyes recovered the visits gardually tapered off, and are now down to once a week. Mrs. Gladding cooks a meal, does laundry or any other necessary housework, runs errands, and is taking Mrs. Keyes to the hairdresser this week.

Thecharge is based on a person's ability to pay, and ranges from $2 to $6.75 per hour. This month the agency, begun in the county six years ago, is launching its second major fund-raising drive, headed by honorary chair- men Murray and Pat Gaunt. The $40,000 goal is to go into a contingency fund to sub- sidize the costs for people needing the services of a Homemaker but unable to pay the full hourly rate. All money raised by the organization is spent in Huron County. This year ninety qualified Homemakers are working for the agency, an in- crease of 10 over the previous year. All have graduated from the Conestoga College's training program and are members of the Family Care Workers' Association. Homemakers can assume full or partial responsibility for infant, child, youth, adult and elderly care, household management, and maintain- ing a wholesome. atmosphere in the home. Town and Country Homemakers can give per- sonal care which includes bath, mouthcare, help with eating, assistance in and out of bed or up and down the stairs, simple bedside care under the direction of a nurse or doctor, and therapy under the direction of a physio, oc- cupational or speech therapist. They supervise meal plan- ning, preparation of nourishing food and special diets, shop, do light housekeeping chores, laundry and necessary mending. Often the relationship bet- ween client and Homemaker develops into a strong, per- manent friendship such as the one betweeen Floreance Keyes and Jean Gladding. Mrs. Keyes recalls the frusta - tion of not being able to do things she had done for years and having words come out strained and garbled in the aftermath of her stroke. "When I was depressed, Jean would come over just to talk. It helps: it gives you a lift", Mrs. Keyes said. "I have to remind her of all she can do now that she couldn't do two years ago", Jean interjected. Mrs. Gladding, who has been a Homemaker for four years, knows from personal experience what it's like to need temporary help and not be able to get it. This was her experience when she was in hospital, and a year later when she required -emergen- cy surgery.

After deciding she would rather work with adults, she called Town and Country Homemakers and signed on. She has never regretted her decision. Although the monetary rewards will never make the Homemakers rich, there are other compensations. "I enjoy this job. Most clients I've met teach me more than I'm able to give them," she explained. Mrs. Keyes is happy too. She summed up her apprecia- tion for Town and Country Homemakers by saying, "If I couldn't call on Jean I don't know what I'd do. I couldn't get along without my Homemaker." Humbly speaking, it's the smartest car we've ever built. $7695: With all humility, Volkswagen has always made in -roads in building intelligent auto- mobiles. This time however, we think we may have outdone ourselves. Because the Weltmeister is quite pos- sibly the smartest car on the road today. Smart because it is a car built expressly for the needs of the people. It is an automobile people can afford, which affords them the qualities one has come to expect of German engineering. The Weltmeister is the lowest cost Rabbit you can buy. Yet it is every inch a Rabbit. A name synonymous throughout the years with safety, com- fort, reliability and durability. Not to mention typical Volkswagen efficien- cy. The first sub -compact powered by a diesel engine, the Weltmeister delivers stunning fuel economy (4.3 L/100 km** or about 65 miles 'me, gallon.) The diesel engine, by the way, comes at no extra cost. Some- thing any smart car shopper will find impressive. And while the Weltmeister is one sensible car, it is also pleasing to the senses. For it is an absolute joy to drive. The Weltmeister. We call it the smartest car we've ever built. We think you'll call it the smartest car you've ever owned. The Weltmeister.
