Homemakers elect new board
By Wilma Oke
The recently in-..
corporated Town and
Country Homemakers
organization elected a
nine -member board of
directors at an inaugural
meeting in Clinton
Wednesday.
The association began
operating a year ago with
a Canada Works grant
under the direction of a
steering committee.
Betty Cardno, of
Seaforth, Huron Home
Care Administrator, was
named chairman and
Catherine Walsh of
Goderich, Director of
Public Health Nurses of
Huron County Health
Unit, was named
secretary. A nine -
member board was
named as well.
A former homemaker,
Jean Young of
Teeswater, was hired as
the administrator
placement officer, with
an office in Wingham.
Nelly Gonie-Tak was
hired as development
officer.
Homemaking services
are available to any
resident of Huron County
who can buy the services
of a homemaker on a
private basis -- such as
the elderly, handicapped,
chronically ill in order
that they do not have to
go into a hospital or
nursing home. As well,
families can hire
homemakers to look after
children or other
dependents when absent
during holidays, illness or
convalescence.
Also buying the
homemakers service is
the Horne Care Program
which provides health
care to selected patients
according to individual
needs. O.H.I.P. will pay
the charges for these
patients for a limited
time.
As well, the social
services and Family and
Children's Services may
help pay the
homemaker's fees
where: a child needs care
during the absence of
mother or other person in
whose charge he is; or for
elderly, handicapped, 1111
or convalescent who
require such services on
a part-time basis in
order that he remain in
his own home.
And lastly the Cancer
Society may buy the
services for people who
wish to 'be cared for in
their own homes.
In her report, ad-
ministrator Jean Young
spoke of the tax dollars
saved by providing the
homemakers service
which allows people to
remain at home rather
than have to go to a
nursing home or a
hospital
E.W. Oddleifson, reeve
of Bayfield, who was
attending the meeting,
remarked of the
homemaking agency: "A
great idea -- something
that has been needed for
a long time."
Both Mrs. Cardno and
Mrs. Young spoke of the
need to raise funds from
the private sector,
foundations and big
corporations in order to
assist private families in
paying for he
homemakers se'irvice
over a long period of
time. With the
organization being in-
corporated and
registered as a charitable
organization, anyone
giving a donation will be
able to use the receipt for
income tax purposes,
The board of volunteer
directors elected at the
meeting will meet

Hodgert, Seaforth;

Huron residents generous to Society, treasurer says
Ross McDaniel,
treasurer for the Huron
County Unit of the
Canadian 'Cancer Society
said this week that
residents of Huron
County have attained an
enviablefi"record of $1.02
per capita donated in the
fight to control and cure
cancer.
"We show donations of
$56,000 at the end of the
fiscal year," said
McDaniel. "With a
population of about 55,000
in Huron County, that
puts our per capita
record slightly over the $1
per capita mark. We're
very proud of that
figure."
The divisional figures
are only a little better at
$1.06 per capita.
The money was
realized 'through the
annual door-to-door
campaign for funds, the
special events in Huron
such as the snowmobile
rally, the Daffodil Tea
and the bike-a-thon, and
national grants.
The donations made
through the In
Memoriam cards are a
separate account and
money from that'gment
goes directly' ,to the
divisional treasury for
research.
"I'm told the figures
are quite substantial in
that account," reported
McDaniel who said he
has no financial record of
the memorial fund.
The provincial Cancer
Society enjoyed a year of
unprecedented financial
success, too. The
organization has an-
nounced that in Ontario,
campaign receipts for
1978 were increased by
10.5 per cent to the
highest amount raised to
date - $8,328,000.
Commemoration funds
also increased sub-
stantially to bring the
total income of the
Cancer Society in Ontario
to $14,189,754.
"Another major ac-
complishment that
stands out from the past
year was the production
and introduction to the
schools of The Kit - A
Guide to Decision Making
and Health for Grades 7
and 8, created by our
education committee,"
said George A. Irvine,
president of the Ontario
Division.
Irvine believes the
young people of Ontario
will be the beneficiaries
of this special program.
Every child in the
Ontario school system
will now receive some
form of education on the
subject of cancer from
Kindergarten right
through to Grade 8.
Irvine spoke of the
establishment of the
"Coping With Cancer"
program as a third
milestone in what
Blind club picks slate
The Bluewater
Canadian Council of the
Blind held their final
meeting of the year in the
Orange Hall, Albert
Street, Tuesday evening,
November 21. Following
a short business meeting
Brock Olde, local CNIB
Advisory Board
representative, con-
ducted the election of
officers.
Bert Soothern, newly
appointed president,
introduced his executive
and highly commended
past president Gwen
Watson and the retiring
executive for their
dedicated efforts of the
past two years.
Miss Rachel Johnston,
entertainment convener,
requested Mr. John
Watson of hayfield to
introduce the speaker of
the evening, Rev. Alun
Thomas, rector of
Bayfield United Church,
who gave ' a very in-
teresting and instructive
talk concerning his first
pastorate in the northern
portion of Newfoundland.
His graphic description
of the kindly and
'hospitable people he
encountered in his widely
separated parishes was
thoroughly enjoyed by
all. Following his
discourse, he treated the
members to a number of
folk songs of that portion
of Canada.
A very enjoyable
evening was brought to a

amounted to a fruitful

"The Coping With
Cancer program started
in the Toronto Unit and
spread from there to the
Metropolitan Toronto
District and thence to the
province of Ontario,"
said Irvine. "We had no
idea that there were so
many volunteers in-
terested in this vital
subject."
The rapid growth which
has occurred has resulted
in hiring a new staff
coordinator to provide
leadership -and assistance
across the,province.
"The Society is well
and prospering
throughout the entire
province," said Irvine,
and will continue in this
manner until the day
comes when c.ancer will
be beaten.
