Meals on Wheels roiling,
need more volunteers
Because "Meals on Wheels"
has become so popular, it has
created a problem for itself.
It has beconie such a successful
program that very often two
drivers are needed each day
instead of the one that was
originally planned. "w
So the Meals onWheels com-
mittee is asking Clintonians to
volunteer an hour once or twice a
month to deliver hot meals to
those who need them.
Volunteer drivers report to the
hospital kitchen at 11:45 a.m.,
pick up the hamper containing
the meals (usually six), and
proceed to deliver the meals as
quickly as possible. Special
disposable containers help to
keep the meals hot. A map of
Clinton on the cover of tete
hamper helps in locating
famililar streets. After the meale
are delivered. the driver returns
:.the hatnper to the hospital. and
then has finished for the day.
If you can donate some time to
help the aged and the infirm by
delivering for Meals on Wheels.
please telephone Mrs. Gvlclough
at 482-7627.
The increasing number of
meals each month is shown by
the following table: May. 141
meals: June. 171 meals: July. 203
meals; August . 204 meals.

Philips Night Guard Light is ideal for
illuminating country estates: farms. barns.
cottages, leges, swimming pools, access
roads—any area where good visibility at
night is necessaryfor safety.
The Night uard Light features a
sensitive photoelectric eye that activates
a powerful 250 -watt self -ballasting mer-
cury vapour lamp as soon as it starts to
get dark. It bums all night long and turns
off automatically at dawn. Since the bal-
last is contained in the lamp itself, there
is no separate ballast to bum out. This
means that almost all maintenance is
limited to replacing the tamp only—and
that very infrequently, because the lamp
has an average life of over two years.
Complete package consists of fix-
ture, lamp. 2b%- arm and all ha+xdware
necessary for wall installation or wood
pole mounting.
Philips Night Guard Light... a look at
the future in a different light. Buy it at
your nearest Philips dealer.
