Just like at home
Lucky is the man 'or woman who
lives to enjoy retirement. Fortunate is
he or she who has the good health and
financi& resources to rernain at home,
live,. the life style of choice and be
connp|ehe|y|ndependant and free asthe
.
year creep onand old age sets in.
. For some of the elderly though,
changes 'necessary. are ���muary. Oue to c|r'
rnmtamces, they often must leave
home and familiar otirroundingo to
reside in other facilities such as
Huronview. Thanks tu. people like
Chester Archibald, the 'administrator
at Huronview, an atmosphere as lose
as possible to the .one at home is
nna|ntainedforfhe residents there. '
This weekend; the Royal _Canadian
Legion Branch .lO9\nco-operation with
the Legion Ladies Auxiliary /oun-
dertaking a fund-raising event to
collect nnone^ to buy furniture for a
pub already establishedforHuronvkevv
residents there who enjoy a little nip
fron,�n�etohrne.
' Mr. Archibald explained that the ,
men and women at Hurohvievv have
enjoyed drinking privileges for
sometime now. Last June, a pub-like
.
facility ~n�
opened for their enjoyment
but s ' through the generosity' of the
Goderich Legion, the room will take on
a cozier,more comfortable air. The
austere makeshift appearance will bm
and ��rons of the little social
gone p,
centre will 'have one more pleasant
reminder of the world they may have
feared they'd IeftbehindfOreV?r.
-
Only sincere cornrnndat\onrnuatbe
accorded ' the Legion members who
are thinking of the happiness of the
residents of Huronview; to the
Huronvievv personnel and the county
board of directors who are en-
deavouring �et

the atmosphere "back hornm" and to
assure that the rights of all individuals
are respected.
^'
C��ours�fhe are limitations onthe
'cuo-turnera^|n the little bar. Only two
drinks are served per sitting, andonly
iwo Sittings are permitted per day. But
even so, it is a real joy, for those who
' are soinclined, toVisit the pub, buy the
bar tickets and s|tdovvnfohave adrink'

things were different.
