Homebound centre busy
One of the liveliest spots in
the Clinton area these days is
the Huron County Day Care
Centre for the Homebound.
The Centre has been open for
seven weeks and activities
have been -planned to interest
all the homebound folks who
have been corning out to
enjoy the companionship of
others.
How do `homebound' people
get to the Centre? Where no
friends or relatives are
available, a faithful band Of
volunteer drivers are on ha nd~ 'Other's
to pick them up and see that
they reach the Centre in time
for the morning coffee break --
which often includes cookies
right fresh from the oven,
baked by volunteers or
participants in the program.
Baking is just one of the
activities. "Painting for Fun"
has gotten off to a good start
under the able and light-
hearted direction of Hollis
Manske.
There is always someone on
hand to play a game of euchre
and "Fun and Fitness" is as
popular as shuffleboard for
getting the folks loosened up
in the forenoon.
Woodwork began last week.
John Talbot of Seaforth has
this project in hand and the
willing woodworkers are
making easels for the pain-
ters as their first project.
Movies are planned for this
Thursday along with the
other activities and the third
Thursday of every month has
been set aside for "footcare"
when those who find it hard to
reach those tender tootsies
are tended to by the gentle
ladies of the -public health
department.
December is a busy month
for all and those at the Centre
for the Homebound are no
exception.
On December 7, the Centre
plays host to 'all volunteers of
Huron County who have been
invited to hear Karen Ross of
the Central Volunteer Bureau
in London. She will conduct a
workshop on the subject of
the rights and expectations of
volunteers'. Everyone is
welcome to this event.
The Christmas Party is set
for Thursday December 22,
and the Centre is planning a
really good time for all.
At the Day Care Centre for
the Homebound, people don't
sit around and complain
about their disabilities.
Everyone shares the abilities
they have and enjoy their
time together.
Call 482-7943 if you are
homebound and would like to
share Ole, e. Pguligl hilts- of

ceramics therapeutic, Hensall woman says
by Patricia Venner
Every Wednesday af-
ternoon since Labour Day,
there has been a group of 10
ladies in Hensall who have
been learning the fine art of
ceramics, the time spent
depending on whether mother
has to rush home to her
homemaking duties or can
stay a little longer to com-
plete her present piece.
'Each participant has been
learning a technique or
medium of coloring, glazing,
staining, antiquing,
festiquing, scraffiti and
learning to control a brush
with strokes, fine lines,
circles. These often produce
very peculiar and funny
figures and pictures.
These past weeks our art
brought a lot of laughter as
each would-be artist produced
their own version of a scene
depicting a weeping willow,
hill, flowers, trees, figures
and animals, all to be in
perspective.
I want you to meet our
instructress, Mrs. Mary Lou
Hyde who is pursuing this
craft as a hobby. She is a very
talented lady who has found
this medium to be the correct
outlet for her artistic
capabilities: Mary Lou has
studied for the past four
years, taking courses at
London, Toronto and Oshawa.
She also attended seminars
on ceramics and has just
completed 10 pieces of
ceramics to go to a seminar in
London. In addition to this
hobby, Mary Lou has a
husband and two girls who
enjoy their mother's studio.
She pops in to check on dinner
on the way to her kiln, which
she is filling with our pieces
or removing other artist's
work.
Husband Jim has been a
wonderful help, transposing
and refitting the garage into a
studio. As each week hob-
byists are acquiring more
green ware, he is fixing up
more shelves and more space
for this fascinating hobby.
Both her daughters are
pursuing their own talents
and sometimes the pieces of
her daughters and mother get
shoved aside as we learners
need a particular piece for a
wedding or special occasion
gift.
She casually mentions as
we work away that
sometimes the days run into
long nights as she is up at 5
a.m. checking on the kiln or
cleaning green ware till 1
a.m. She truly is a dedicated
artist.
Mary Lou has an infinite
amount of patience. We have'
all undergone frustrations of
having a piece of greenware
shatter after spending many
hours cleaning and preparing
that special piece. You just
pick up the pieces, put them
in a container and save them
to mend or repair for any
future casualties.
As I am only one of the
ladies taking this hobby, I
would like to highlight my
experiences. To date I have
had seven afternoons. As a

beginner I have been a bit
disappointed when my piece
did not turn out as an-
ticipated. I must learn by that
particular goof what I have
done wrong and how to
correct it to avoid future
errors. It is such fun to look
around and see each lady
working at her own pace,
using her own talent and
adapting it to her
specifications, producing an
entirely personal and original
piece of ceramics.
This is such a fascinating
hobby that many of this group
want to continue after
Christmas. Nearer Christ-
mas, we are going to
celebrate with our own
"GOOF" money. This is a
fine we pay for using the
wrong technique or word to
describe the method we are
using. Our pot is getting quite
healthy --- I have been a good
contributor!!!
Our cat, with the curiosit
y
instinct inborn, has watched
me each week and explored
my craft box which is filled
with shredded paper .to
protect my precious ware in
transit. She thinks this is her
own special place to explore
and play in. My daughter has
enjoyed this hobby and has
produced an excellent piece
of work. Needless say, we
get many laughs over my
amateurish attempts. In my
family, both my mother and
my grandmother did hand
painted ,china, My mother
specialized in medium of
pastels, producing beautiful
flower pictures They would
indeed shudder to "see my
work at present state.
