WHO WILL BE THE LUCKY WINNER? — Verna Gingerich took a minute from duties in the Hay Township
Farmers Mutual Fire Insurance Company's Zurich office to admire the beautiful patchwork quilt displayed in
the window. It's one of those for which draws will be held during the Bean festival later this month.

HeIp near for older people
Help is on the way for older
people in Huron County who are
sitting in their homes because
there is no place to go and often
no way to get there if they wanted
to go.
A group of interested people
concerned about these lonely folk
have been holding meetings to
find how they could be helped.
A grant from the Ministry of
community and social services
for $40,289.60 has been received to
start this Outreach program
which is being called Project
Homebound and will run from
August 1, 1977, to August, 1978.
The grant is 80 percent of the sum
applied for of $50,362 and will be
repeated a second year.
Ann St. Jean of Auburn has
been hired as co-ordinator and
activity director of this Huron
Outreach program --Geriatric
Day Care-- and a committee has
been formed.
Mrs. St. Jean, wife of Earl St.
Jean, United Church minister at
Auburn, is a warm, cheerful
woman sensitive to the needs of
the elderly. She has a son, David,
at home, a Grade 13 student at
Goderich and a daughter,
Elizabeth, in Toronto, working at
the Recreational Centre for
Children in the Regent's Park
area. Mrs. St. Jean gives great
credit to her husband for his
understanding and help at home

which enables her to work with
older people.
Mrs. St. Jean has previous
experience working with senior
citizens in various centres in
Ontar io where her husband has
been a minister such as Osgoode,
Victoria Harbour, Manitowaning,
and Lakefield, where she was
instrumental in starting
programs for the homebound.
She is working at present at the
Maitland Manor Nursing Home
in Goderich, and will start her
new work toward the end of
Augus t.
She hopes to have a staff of two
part time workers, one a driver,
She wants to aid those people who
are shut in and who can be en-
couraged to come out for ac-
tivities of a social, physical and
recreational nature. She will
work out from Huronview at
Clinton where facilities will be
provided for the program.
At one meeting, programs
suggested were crafts such as
rug hooking which is popular with
the older people and other similar
crafts to be carried on fora brief
period, perhaps one to one and a
half hours, then socialization
programs such as billiards,
shuffle board and card games
for a brief period and even a
swimming program or lawn
bowling in the summer. Dancing

was named as a popular period
for them.
It was suggested that the

facilities at Huronview might be
used by those wanting to

foot care. Someone who has
had a stroke would be given
suggestions onhow to get dressed
more easily, and they could be
taught to get nutritious meals.
The Day Care program would
have flexible hours, perhaps
from 9 to 4.
A New Horizon grant, available
from the federal government will
be applied for to help run the
program. A group has been
formed to apply for it,
Volunteers will be required
from across the whole county to
drive the participants to
Huronview and to help with the
programs --it is hbped that people
will volunteer perhaps one day a
week or even one a month.
Mileage may be paid.
Later it is hoped that satellite
centres may be opened in
Wingham and Exeter areas to cut
down on the distance to be driven.
Mrs. St. Jean said her first
priority would be to learn who the
shut-ins are and encourage them
to come out for the activities.
Betty Cardno, Seaforth, said
the hardest part will be to con-
vince people to come out. She
said the first to be contacted
would be those on waiting lists to
get into Huronview or some other
nursing homes.
