"Start paddling," he bellowed
from the other end of the canoe.
But I could only clutch the sides
of the small boat as the wind and
waves tossed us towards the shore.
My trustworthy canoeist was not
living up to his promise, we weren't
gliding across the lake, we weren't
taking in the scenery and I wasn't
having fun.
"I don't know how to paddle. I
want out of here," I begged.
He was not the least bit sym-
pathetic to my plea and in
desperation I started to paddle,
hoping we could' get out of this
mess without dumping the boat.
My first attempts at paddling
worked and within._. minutes.. we
were out into calmer waters'. Mind
you, we were both soaking wet
since :I hadn't developed the finer
aspects of canoeing and could only
splash the wooden paddle in and
out of the water.
The second canoe ride in my life
hadt started off disastrously and I
wasn't willing to see how it ended. I
wanted to head for land. I was wet
and cold, not to mention being
dizzy and scared.
My sense of .balance is not the
greatest. Midway - rides are
completely out of the question and
even a 'ride on a child's swing or a
teeter-totter sends my head
spinning. The canoe was no better.
At each. dip and tip, mystomach
flipped. Closing my eyes made .it
worse, looking at the deep,' ° cold
water was no better. •
"I've had fun but can we go in
now," I stated in my most cheerful
voice.
"Heck no, we've just got star-
ted," my leader replied.
"Now turn around and let me
take your picture," he suggested.
I . came_up-with-a- quick- excuse,
"Oh my heir's really a mess."
He wasn't so easily persuaded
and when asked again my brave
front quickly sunk to the bottom= -of
the lake., I wasn't about to let hold
of my grip on the sides of the boat
or attempt to shift my unsteady
body around, just to have my
terrified lookingface on film.
"No, I don't want my picture
taken," I firmly said, ending the
discussion,
Still not secure with my position
out in the middle of the windy lake I
asked, "What if we tip this thing?"
"It won't tip," he reassured.
"But what if it does," I said, as I
tightened my grip and prepared
myself for the worst.-
'
orst.4' I peaked over the side and in-
formed the canoeist, "The water's
cold and there's millions of fish
down there.
He laughed.
He assured me that he was a
..good paddler, but his confidence
didn't sit -welt with i e I tiidn't see
any canoing medals on, his chest.'
Who said he was a good canoeist
anyway.
I realized that I would have to
take. the precautions in this boat
ride. It would -be up to me to save
the two of us when the worstcame.
Luckily I'd been reading a book
about Indian history and recalling
how the North American natives
guided their boats through the
water, .I grabbed onto my paddle
and started dipping it in .andsout of
the water.
"You don't have to paddle," my
confident partner suggested:
"Oh yes I do,"'I simply told him.
Angry and determined to get
back to shore In one piece, I , con-
tinued to ''work my paddle and soon
I was hearing words of praise from
the back of the boat.
"Hey you're doing good," he said
and dropped his paddle for a rest.
"You keep paddling,' I warned.
He laughed, again.
With no time to talk, I kept the
boat moving through the water, my.
eyes fixed on ' the safe, inviting
shoreline.
Now we were really . gliding
through the water, -''just like he
promised and seemingly long
distance between the water and me
grew shorter. In a moment we hit
the sand.
- "That was fun," I grinned. "low
you can take my picture.

INTRODUCES
THE COMBO
(the first computer watch that looks like a watch)
• The Minister of Community and
Social Services, Keith ,C..Norton, last
week announced the allocation .of
$47,387 for Home Support Services to
the Elderly in Huron County for 1980-
81..
• "This is in keying with my
Ministry's continuing commitment to
"improve services for senior citizens
throughout the province," the
Minister said,
The program results from the
conviction that senior citizens should
be,pr.v ded.with.the-suppont.services
they require to enable them to con-
tinue living in their . own homes, and
that seniors should have the op-
portunity to participate as fully as
possible in the life of the community.
The Huron Day Centre for the
Homebound in Clinton wilt receive a
grant of up to $29,100 for 1980-81 to
'assist it in continuing to provide a day
program for elderly persons. The
program operates from H'uronview
Home for the Aged and serves
residents in the southern part of
Huron County.
The Wingham and Area Day Centre
for the Homebound will receive up to
$7,578. This grant will help meet the

Program, social service agencies and
citizens groups are eligible to receive
up to ;ope-half of their program's
-approved- budget -The remaining
costs must be- met by voluntary
donations, user fees or municipal
grants.
As ,- well as supporting existing
programs, the -allocations will help
develop new community-based
services. The Ministry policy strongly
favours involvement of volunteers to
help provide services, whenever
appropriate.
These funds are part of the
Ministry's total budget of $3,,034,800
this fiscal year for Home Support
Service. This represents an increase
of $2 million in this fiscal year, in the
government's commitment to Home
Support Service.
