orientation night organized
by Baird's program, Plann-
ing and Evaluation
Comn5ttee.
Jim: Currie, 88 -year-old
Wingham resident who has
used homemakers since the
Agency started, was a
delightful guest panelist.
"Way back in 1978 we did
without you too long while we
were writing out three
separate cheques for three
different shifts of nurses.
Then I read about you folks
and called up that angel
(Jean Young). Now I write
out one monthly cheque and
I'M done with it. We couldn't
do without you."
He told the board members
and guests that he lives in one
of the prettiest little cottages
in Wingham with his sister,
93, and they intend to stay
there. "At first, there were
three of us, my two sisters
and myself. Recently my
younger sister died. Now the
two of us share the cost of
twenty-four hour live-in
homemakers. We like the ar-
rangement and want to keep
it up as long as possible."
Thea Trick, Board Chair-
man, asked Mr. Currie if he
had any advice on how we
should prepare for our aged
years. In his witty manner he
answered; "The very best
way to prepare is t� die while
you're still young."
Henry Hess, editor of the
Wingham Advance Times,
addressed the topic of writing
news releases on the events of
the Agency. "Too many news
releases come to us'Peading
like the minutes of a
meeting," he said. "This is
boring and will be read only
by the members who didn't
make it to the meeting." Hess
stressed that the most
noteworthy business and the
articles of the broadest ap-
peal must come first, follow-
ed by details and highlighted
by direct quotations. If you
haven't much to report, don't
pretent that you have, by us-
ing lots of irrelevant words.
Be brief and informative."
Betty Cardno, Director of
Home Care, made a general
presentation on the acute and
chronic home care programs,

tient and family when they
visit in the home.
