But with the aid of volunteers, homebound seniors are enjoying a myriad of activities at the Day Centre for the Homebound at Huronview in Clinton. The day centre offers seniors daily outings and programs that include crafts, swimming, exercises, personal grooming and nutrition clinks. A public health nurse is also available to assist the seniors. But the seniors who take advantage of the day centre rely on volunteers for transportation and assistance, and part -tune co- ordinator of volunteer services, Nancy Anstett, said more people are needed to drive the homebound to the centre. "We definitely need more volunteers to help at the centre during the day and no qualifications are required," she said.

Marguerite Snell, sister of the bride, was the maid of honour and bridesmaids were Carol Jewitt and Darlene Moore. The best man was Michael Denomme, brother of the groom, and Ken Pollard and Robert Snell were ushers. The dinner and dance\was held at the South Huron Recreation Centre in Exeter.

( Photo by Harvey McDowell) Autumn Tea at Huronview The Huronview Auxiliary 'met in the board room at Huronview on July 20th. Mrs. Leona Lockhart opened the meeting and Mrs. Jean Griffith read the minutes of the last meeting while Mrs. Marion Powell gave the treasurer's report. Some items of business were attended to, and it was decided to have an Autumn Tea and Bake Sale on September 30. Mrs. Lockhart reported that the August birthday party is in charge of the Crediton WI, and cards have been purchased by the Aux- iliary. The meeting adjourned so members could visit the residents. The next meeting will be held on.August 17 and visitors are welcome to at- tend. paid mileage but we• also need help during the day with crafts, woodworking, exercises and in preparing meals." The centre is open each weekday with theexception of Tuesdays and clients pay $5 per day for use of the facilities. There are asmany as 12 clients involved in programs on a daily basis. The program has attracted as many -as 50 volunteer workers but the numbers have recently dwindled to about 30. On Wednesdays, the centre caters to stroke victims and volunteer. are needed to work• on a one-to- one basis witheach client. The centre has been able to attract volunteer services through contact with many local service clubs and by word of mouth. The county health unit employees and doctors have also referred people to the centre. "The centre, in many cases, helps keep some people out of institutions and they are quite happy with the opportunity to get out," Nancy said. ''It provides a welcome change in the week for many older people and breaks the boredom." Assisting the clients has also been a rewarding and enjoyable experience for the corps of volunteers and the staff makes training courses available. "The volunteers enjoy coming out and feel as if they- have heyhave accomplished something," Nancy....ex- plained. "We hold different workshops mor „vo1iu1du ei~ ' and sometimes guest speakers are brought in." The centre - has had physiotherapists and oc- cupational therapists speak to volunteer groups, to help them better meet the needs of the clients. There is also a day centre in Wingham but volunteers are needed in this area to drive clients to the Huron - view centre. Many are unable to make, use of the programs and facilities because of a lack of tran- sportation. "Volunteers can do whatever they want," Nancy said. "If possible, we would like for them to drive the client to the centre, spend the day with them and assist them with meals and programs, and then drive them home again." There are a number of people from the Goderich area attending the ,day centre for the homebound but because of tran- sportation problems, most clients are from Clinton. If anyone is interested in becoming a volunteer, contact the centre at Huronview in Clinton. Smile A mother-in-law is a woman who has reached meddle age.

Bayfield grandmothers remember.... from page 11 colourful sight, carefully dressed and well groom:a. - a far cry from the lace cap, long skirt and shawl images of their own grandmothers. The main item on the program was to invite the ladies to recall episodes, and Mrs. Doris Hunter started the ball rolling by telling of attending dances with her parents - strictly chaperoned and Mostly dancing with her father. 'However, on one occasion,: she was introduced and' permitted to dance.with a young man, which not only made that a momentous occasion, but eventually resulted in her marriage some years later to thaj same dancing partner. Mrs. Thelma Utter recalled an amusing incident when, very pregnant for the fifth 'time, she was helping her husband to load a pig. But the sow resented this procedure and made a bolt for it - diving ,between her legs and catapaulting her into the shed! Referring to the way in which her life seemed to be influenced by the figures '25' Mrs. Makins told of being married in 1925, of her son who was born when she was .25 years old, his daughter when he in turn, was 25,'and that daughter's son, when she too was 25. She was, she said, named for her owntwo grandmothers, Esther, and Isobel, whose pictures she had brought along to the meeting. Mrs. Violet Carter epitomised the feelings of many grandmothers present when she read out a poem called 'Get Up and Go'. Other childhood recollections included the theft of a lemon - the taste of which was adequate punish- ment; and of inquisitive fingers which explored the wringer, with very painful results. Taking a short cut home from- school, and leaping on the hummocks brought a surprise which Mrs. Jessie Blair had not forgotten - 'for one of the 'hummocks' started moving -it was a turtle! The poignancy . of childhood was perhaps best illustrated by the story of an exasperated mother who had sent her little girl outside as a punishment for some misdemeanour. After a while there was a gentle tapping on the window. Opening it, the mother surveyed her •young daughter: "Well, now what's the matter?" she enquired "Please, may I come in," was the plaintive reply. "I don't want to be outside with just God and the weeds! " Mrs. Lilian Beakhust and Mrs. Jean Bell finally awarded the story .prizes to Mrs. Frieda Scotchmer and Mrs.. Thelma Utter. The afternoon concluded with some inerestang awards, for the categories were cer- tainly unusual. To Mrs. Grace McClinchey as the most recent grandmother went the prize for the grandmother 0f a two day old infant. The youngest grand- mother present was Mrs. Carol Penhale and at the other end of the scale, the oldest grandmother present was Mrs. Ellison Cox. Mrs. Violet Carter and Mrs. Irene Cleave shared the prize for the most grandchildren, each having 13, and Mrs. Bertha Turner for having the most great grandchildren. The youngest great gran- dmother present was Mrs. Irene Cleave, and the grandmother to have travelled furthest was Mrs. Genevieve Hutchinson from Niagara on the Lake. A special prize for the gran- dmother of triplets went to ABLE CU THERE ARE VERY PRECISE PROPHECIES, endorsed by our Lord, which deal with the present world situation, particularly In regard to the peoples of the company • of nations of modern Israel.

Goderich library in need of repair GODERICH e Built in 1904, the Goderich Public Library is in need of many repairs to insure it's continued good preservation in the future. A small group of Goderich citizens known as Friends of the Library, is determining ways in which money can be raised to have repair work done. Friends are looking to purchase storm windows, and hope to renovate and open the third floor of the library. The unused floor features six uniquely shaped rooms, one of which is completely round, and another which has a fireplace. "It's such a waste sitting there empty," Jeans Adams of the Friends group stressed. She can visualize reading rooms, children's rooms and meeting rooms on. the third floor which could benefit everyone in the carrununity• Friends is an active organization and a few years ago they added a bathroom, redecortated the film room and started a March Break program for school° aged children.
