BLYTH - The Town and Country
Homemakers is a private, non-profit
charitable organization the employs over
100 trained homemakers and provides over
66,000 hours of service in Huron County.
The county has given the organization an
annual grant of $10,000 to help with
operating costs. A recent fund raising ven-
ture generated $15,000 gross, but they still
need an additional $28,000 to cover the costs
of the increased demands on their service.
In order to raise the money, the organiza-
tion is asking Huron municipalities for dona-
tions and Blyth has been asked to donate
$420.
Council unanimously voted to donate the
$420 to the Homemakers because "they keep
the people in their homes" and, "they help
take the work load off the hospitals."

quires a liquid ink. With these added ex-
penses, one copy costs approximately 17
cents and only one side of the paper can be
used.
A local firni recently purchased a new
