The Goderich Signal-Star, 1970-12-03, Page 13Woman, . t woman Continued from► afflicted with the disease will not discuss it and perhaps, hate to admit even to themselves that their children will probably not live to be very old. It is a sad, sad thing when cystic fibrosis hits. Everyope feels helpless, frustrated, and perhaps even a little bitter that fate has dealt them such a cruel blow. Please don't question Jan's motives for working for the cystic - fibrosis cause. Rather, remember that children are dying from this disease which takes years and years to claim its victim, especially if the sufferer • is well cared for by parents and doctors. By the way, Jan has discovered that' 95 percent of the money taken infor the sale of Christmas cards goes directly to the cystic fibrosis foundation. That's a pretty fair percentage I'd say. It still isn't too late tobuy your eystic, fibrosis greeting cards. You can order them at the Coach House frrot. Beth and Brian. Markson who are volunteering this service just • because they want to help out.- * * I note that the Children's Aid Society in Huron County is, looking for '- groups - and organizations to help out this Christmas. what a wonderful way to say "thank -you" for all the blessings most of us enjoy. By the way, there is a program on Channel. 8 Wingham - each Wednesday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock entitled "Family Finder." It tries to (find homes for youngsters who for no fault of their own, have no mother' or father to love them and care for them. I'm usually at work when this program is aired so I rarely get an opportunity to see it. I would appreciate ' your comments concerning it. I really wonder if this type 8f a program hits home ,as it should .....and maybe you could tell me your reactions. * * " * I don't mean to make this a commercial, but I must say I was • impressed with the wig show at Goderich Psychiatric Hospital last Wednesday in connection with the annual bazaar and tea. Local hair stylist Ernie was in charge and provided a real treat for the ladies in attendance. And there certainlywas a great enthusiasm following his show for ,ther'wigs on display. There, was a fair demand for the mirrors as quite a few ladies went to the platform to try on the synthetic wonders that weigh just 4 oz. each! The bazaar itself seemed to be a rollicking success. Mrs. Anne Redmond told. me she was delighted with the attendance both afternoon and evening, and she seemed quite satisfied with the sales of merchandise • prepared by the occupational therapy people there. * * * The first babysitting course sponsored by the Kinettes is over and about 40 girls were on hand last Wednesday evening to try their examination. I really believe the Kinettes have taken a positive step towards providing the best possible selection, of responsible baby sitters for the parents in town. The members of that group are to be congratulated ..-. and of course; the girls who took the course are to be commended for their. efforts. I think ,the Kinettes have learned something from running this first course, and that it is A A 0 4 Page 2A very likely that the second course after the new year will be all the better for it. There is still no word regarding a baby sitters' registry although I believe there is- some hesitancy about it since there is a feeling that there is too much work and too much responsibility, involved for the person in charge. That may be true ..-, and it may not'be a very good idea after all,' * *„ * I have had another call from a woman who is interested in a local Consumers' Association. The lady would like to help out in any way she can; although she is somewhat limited as to her activities because ,she is getting up in years. However, she feels keenly enough about this thing to be of help in- the organization of a Consumers' Association to offer to make telephone nails etc. — duties which will not demand that she leave her home too often. I have on my desk today a" copy, of the October Consumer Information Digest. It tells of a special Consumer Guide for Senior Citizens prepared by the Department of Financial and Commercial Affairs in co-operation with the Department of Social and Family, Services which is available to all Ontario's 'senior citizens. This handy document contains a -check list :of do's and don'ts on credit buying, home repairs, mail and door-to-door "bargain schemes; lists sources of information and provides basic information on health care. While it was developed specifically for senior citizens, it can just as easily be used by any adult seeking a quick and readable guide on consumer and related matters. Anyone can get this wallet -sized guide simply by contacting the Information Officer, Department of Financial and Commercial Affairs, 555 Younge St., Toronto 5, Ontario.
