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.

'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.

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.
