Seniors'
Day Centre News
By Rita Rice
One very positive ad-
vantage of this winter's
weather has been that a
large number of seniors have
been able to attend the
centre each week, and our
volunteer drivers have had
good weather conditions for
driving. But doesn't anybody
feel sorry for the cross-
country skiers?
This Thursday, at 1:30
p.m., Paula Blagrave, the
dietician at the Wingham
and District Hospital, will be
our guest speaker. Since
March is nutrition month,
she will be addressing the
topic of proper nutrition and
dealing with the disease
diabetes. If any senior in the
community would like to
hear Ms. Blagrave, you are
most welcome. Proper
nutrition and exercise are
two major concerns that
every individual should be
aware of. The Ministry of
Agriculture and Food and
the Huron County Health
Unit have various forms of
literature to promote the
slogan — Choose Nutrition
Now, It Pays.
The next foot clinic is
scheduled for March 16 from
1:30-3:30 p.m. Please call in
advance if you wish to attend
the clinic at 357-1440 or 357•
1445. A podiatrist does not
operate the clinics. Foot care
technicians along with a
public health nurse man the
clinics. Referrals to a podia-
trist and advice can be given
on foot care.
A St. Patrick's Day
program is being planned for
Thursday March 17 in the
afternoon from 1-3 p.m.
Beginning at 1 p.m., an Irish
movie entitled "The
Newcomers" will be shown.
The film will focus on the
realities of the mid -1800s
when the Irish were forced to
leave Ireland. The film
reflects on the life of an
individual who immigrated
to southwestern Ontario.
The Irish also are noted for.
their love of music and
laughter, so an en-
tertainment hour will begin
at 2 p.m. Some of the seniors
who attend the centre, as
well as some local citizens,
will be providing the music.
Anyone is welcome to attend
or participate, you can even
dig out some old Irish poems
from scrapbooks.
We thank the gentleman
who brought in the wood
scraps. These are being put
to good use mounting prints.
We welcome two new seniors
from Dungannon, two from
Ashfield Township and one
from Wingham to the centre
over the past two weeks.
Something else we could
use in our craft program are
large juice cans that have
been punched open, but with
the ends still on. We are
starting to make upholstered
foot stools out of the cans.
Our second . annual flea
market is to be held April 30.
Your can rent a table by
calling 357-1456 as soon as
possible as the spaces are
going quickly. George
Taylor, one of our board
members, is looking after
booking the table rentals.
This week's statement for
thought is "We each grow
older each day — the best is
yet to be. The last of life for
which the first was made."
