'
0 Shown. above is the new $467,000 addition to the Huron County Home" at Clinton which was opened die
cially at a ceremony last Friday afternoon by Hon. W. A. Goodfellow, Minister of Public Welfare for the
Province of Ontario. The modern building is built on the rolling lawn in front of the old home
building, which can be seen in the background in the photo. The new wing was ,designed -to ac
commodate 60 ambulatory patients and was designed with •the possibility of future enlargement.
Reviewing the, history _of...ethe
home, he noted that ui'„-1894,
County 'Council passed a by-law
authorizing the purchase of land
for the home.
In 1895, $12;000 was borrowed to
erect a •building. S],nce't.hat. time,
he said, additions '` n had been,
to the building.
Then, in , 1952, provision was
made by council to set aside
$50,000 that year and a similar
amoent during file following two
years. In June, '1953, tlaecontract
was let for the ;new addition. "We
now see the work completed," he
said, "as well as work proceeding
on the renovation of the Old build-
inHe said that the addition had
long been the dream of Huron
County Council. "We in County
Council are very proud," he said,
"and we feel that every citizen
should be proud" .s
In the addition,,fiJ.ir.. Cousins said,
there is accommodation for 62
beds, with a total of 30 bedrooms.
In' keeping with modern trends,
all bedrooms are on, the ground
floor.
Mr. Cousins also paid tribute to
members of the building commit-
tee and .others who had helped in
work in connection with the build-
ing. Special mention was made
of Dr. J. W. Shaw, Clinton, who
served as home physician for 50
years.

said that the people " of Huron
County were to be "congratulated
•for taking the initiative in build-
ing such a fine place."
He said he had gamed a great
deal of satisfaction to see the
amount ofwork that had been
done for the elderly citizens. ,
' "You people can be proud of
this building," the welfare Min-
ister - said, "bat don't forget the
,old` people in here. Take an in-
terest in: 'the'm. The most effec-
tive type of welfare ..is the interest
you and I have in helping the
people riot as fortunate as we are."
He said that he was proud of
the part that the welfare depart-
ment had been able to play in the
r -d lopinerit -of the home and the
new addition, "We have an obli-
gation to these elderly people to
give them proper- care. Remem-
ber, you will never be criticized
for anything you do to help the
old folks:"
Tribute To Council
l'to
Mr. Goodfellow" paid tribute also
the County Council: "Our
municipalities in. Ontario,"rhe-said,
'are doing a wonderful job. The
best governments you have are
your own. municipal 'governments.
It is up to the provincial govern
ment to assist them."
He noted that i p until 1949 the
Ontario government did not make
a policy .of giving capital grants
for the building of county homes
for the aged. But for the past five
years, he said, a policy of helping
with " the const,rtt tion of new
county homes has been adopted
and ,this year about $2,000,000 was
budgeted for that pu'fpose.
He said also that he had been
impressed during his tour of the
new building by the compactness
and lack of waste space.
With Mrs. Martha Jacob, matron
of the building, Mr. Goodfellow
officially opened the new addition
by, cutting. a ribbon stretched
across•the front of the stage.
Mr.,, Goodfellow was introduced
by Thomas Pryde, MLA for Huron,

vice to the people of this county,"
