Jane Bigelow speaks to homemaker meeting BY HELEN OWEN The third annual general meeting of the Town and Country Homemakers on March 25th was well attend- ed, and 'an appreciative au- dience welcomed the guest speaker, Jane Bigelow, former London mayor. Volunteerism, said Mrs. Bigelow, was something she understood at first hand, having experienced it and taken part in it. The history of volunteer assistance could be traced back to the beginn- ings of civilization and had 'developed and changed over the years as .part of the democratic process. Much progress had been : made since the days when religious. groups had under- taken the role of caring for the sick and needy. Alter- native ways of tackling these problems had been devised, involving government at all levels. But the workhouse, the alms house and the cheap labor derived from child apprenticeship to. tradesmen were inadequate methods and as a reaction, voluntary' associations had emerged with specific groups undertaking respon- sibility for social re- quirements. From the '19th century onwards, efforts had been made to meet every kind of need, although it was appreciated that it was .still not enough.. Referring to the legislation which had been passed through Parliament in response 'to community needs, Mrs. Bigelow said this was not the entire answer and could not replace the work of volun- tary associations acting in- dependently of government. Independence was one of the main strengths, and the heart of democracy. Volunteers, with a freedom of choice, could and did in- novate programs and this trend had been extending over the last decade. Government job creation had increased liaison with people involved in voluntary activities, people who realiz- ed that accepting respon- sibility was not just a matter of providing means, but also meant the development of specialized knowledge of the Areas in which they worked. This aspect in itself pro- vided new ' and interesting jobs as well as the develop- ment, of creative ap- proaches, and opportunities of evaluation. It was important that pro- grams should be tailored to meet local needs if they were to be on-going. One of the hazards of governmental methods was a rigidity and institutionalism, which could interfere with and under- mine the work of voluntary organizations. In order to counteract this, it was essen- tial that such groups should assume the responsibility of watch dog in order to main- tain their own independence while at the same time re- taining their commitment ,to the task'and individuality and flexibility in fulfilling. their objectives. These were already recognized as very definite ways in which voluntary workers contributed to social needs of the communi- ty ,and the development of necessary structures. Oaitlining the many areas covered by volunteers, she stressed the fact that the "Lady Bountiful" image no longer existed, and the work undertaken was extending to men - no more -was it seen as the exclusive role of women in society. Because of ex- perience, and a choice to become involved, women had become more assertive and shown themselves to be good policy makers. Challenging opportunities existed, and another facet of voluntary .organizations was to make these appealing to others. Work in the com- tnunit demanding, re- quiring :•'.111s and full par- ticipation if those involved were to achieve personal satisfaction.. The provision of training programs and in-house training were constructive' steps in' improving the ser- vices, as well as incentives for participants to achieve their fullest potentials. From such schemes, periodic elvaluation of strengths and weaknesses of volunteers would be analyz- ed, and' the importance of maintaining the rights of in- dividuats as well as the op-, portunities existent in an organization would combine to provide an improved quality of life for all concern- ed. Concluding, Mrs. Bigelow urged het listeners to foster the feeling of achievement and involvement, and • thereby become a social force in the community. B dge Cl b scores 'Cathy McDonald and Jean Papernick combined for a point total of 107 to take first place in the North-South section of play at the March 31 meeting of the Goderich Bridge Club. There were seven tables in play. Evelyn Galbraith and Dawna Sproule were second with 92 points and Mary Donnelly and Eleanor Erskine third with' 901/2 points. Joanned Duckworth and Lee Ryan topped the East- West section with 921/2 points while Barb Howe and Marian Lane finished with 911/2 points. Nuala Conlon and Kay Duncan were in third spot with ; i 1/2 points. On April 14 'the Goderich Bridge Club will play a charity game with proceeds going to the Canadian Diabetes Association.
