Many benefit from Home Care Program The Huron County Home Care Program is a short term active treatment program that, provides health care in the home. Anyone who is covered under O.H.I.P. is eligible if there is a need for a professional ser- vice, such as nursing, physiotherapy,, en- terostomal therapy, occupational therapy or nutritional counselling. Ancillary services, such as hom-emaking, hospital equipment, dressings and drugs are provided to m-aintain a patient at home. In a home setting, a patient has the support of family members which helps to promote their recovery. The professionals work under the supervision of the family doctor to provide continuity of care. Mrs. Sheila Lancaster has recently joined the Home Care staff as a full- time liaison between the program and the com- munity. She visits each hospital in the county on a regular basis and co- ordinates the required services, based . on the needs of the individual. The following is a breakdown of visits made by the professionals from April 1, 1980 to October 31, 1980. Nursing - 5,961 visits; Nutritional counselling - one visit; Physiotherapy - 1,041 visits; Occupational therapy 124 visits; Enterostomal therapy - 57 visits; and ancillary service: No. of homemaking hours - 6,453.3. Presently, the Home Care Program offers professional services on a short term basis. In the near future these ser- vices will be expanded to provide maintenance and support services to people who have health related problems, thus, enabling them to remain in their homes.

Itis that sae joy that Jestis spoke about over and over again, ,in his parables. It is something We missed Rev. Wittick at the Sunday morning service, however, Cecil Skinner kindly played a sermon that he had recorded on tape. On Monday afternoon, 30 residents went to the .Clinton Public School to watch the dress rehearsal of their •Christmas program. "Christmas In The Toy Shop" was the theme of the primary play and we watched the toys come alive played by the grade three children. The junior choir directed by E. Westlake and ac- companied by B. Jewitt at the piano sang Tour Christmas pieces. The primary choir directed by A. Andrews with B. Jewitt at the piano also sang. This was followed by a :pIay by the. grade four children called "Santa And The Snowmobile". The program ended with the senior choir singing several Christmas selections. We would like to thank their principal, teachers, and mainly the students for allowing us to view the program and ,would like to say how much it was enjoyed by the residents who The Clinton Women's Institute came on Wednesday afternoon to help all residents who were born In December celebrate. r4Mrfs. D. Batkin, who is the president of the Women's Institute, started the program off by in- troducing Lorna Radford who played a piano solo. The carol singing was led by Mr. K. Flett.

It is a joy that knows no bounds, and signifies Eats the Christian has en enriched in his life, in knowing Jesus, the Christ, as his • Lord and Saviour. Bethlehem is. then, our open invitation to come; to worship; and to adore the Christ child. "Let us go unto Bethlehem and see,.." We too can go to the manger to worship God, in all simplicity and all truth. And, as we do, our lives are filled with wonder; our hearts are at peace because we have beheld the g countenance of God. Christmas brings an ever deeper joy into the hearts of every man, woman and child. This is not a surface joy; but'a deeper'l joy that reaches deep down into the very core of our being. All through the week that precedes Christmas, we will hear the music of the carols that tell the story of the first Christmas. Pageantry and displays will repeat the nativity scene of Bethlehem. Good will rises to new heights in the hearts of men and women. There will be the giving of gifts, of sharing with others, and a time of making merry. Human relationships will become more brotherly; and no matter how low the thermometer dips out- side, there is a`wartnt-hto be felt everywhere. The fires of faith are once more rekindled and life is made anew. Our lives are filled with. wonder and our hearts are at peace with the world. We can thank God for the peace and quiet of 1 Bethlehem, that comes to tis in the midst of the busy and hectic days. We can thank God for the sim- plicity In the complexity and the confusion of the world tin which we live, We can thank God for that light that came' into the world; that shines and illuminates our path- way in a world that is full of gloom and darkness. Finally, we can thank our sadness, that lightens our burdens, and removes the sins that weigh us down. This is. what Christmas is all about.
