PRICES PHONE 27 By MARJORIE STEINER | Mrs. C. W. Kestle, who is now “My experiences as matron ofi 011 tlle staff, had promised Miss Parkinson she would take her through the new building, so the three of us set out together on our tour of inspection. Immediately beyond the recep­ tion room, we saw the Board room, appropriately furnished for meetings of the Board. Book shelves line two of the walls. Next to it is the secretary’s office where we met Harvey Johnston, former warden of the county and now secretary of the Home. Married Quarters The married couples quarters, of which two are occupied, are in that part of the building. They contain a living room, bedroom with two clothes closets, and a bathroom. All the furnishings are in blonde wood. The men’s quarters line the hall as we turned to the east. There are single, double and four- bed rooms. At the end of’the hall is the men’s sitting room. Wind­ ows to the west and south make it bright and attractive. Everything for their comfort makes it a pleasant place for the men to play games or listen to the radio. The women's quarters are the same as the men’s and they too have a. large bright sitting room where we found a number of the women enjoying the sunshine which was streaming in the many windows. Later in the afternoon, Mrs. Jacob showed me the family’s at­ tractive living quarters on the north corner of the addition. From their living room windows, one can see for miles to the west across No. 4 Highway. We saw the large storage room and boiler room where a diesel system has been installed for use during hydro interruption. From there we went to the auditorium which has a seating capacity of 300. A large stage, equipped with draw curtain, holds a piano and pulpit. The pulpit and the Bible which it holds were purchased by Mrs. Jacob in mem­ ory of her husband, after his death 15 years ago, while he was manager of the Home. Each Sun­ day, Rev. J. Ostrom, of Clinton, conducts a service in the auditor­ ium. Boasts Hobby Room Leading from the auditorium is the hobby room which has not been used as yet. Work tables, tool cabinets and built-in cup­ boards line the walls. Tools and equipment will be added later. Upon the completion of the ad­ dition, the work of modernizing parts of the old building will be carried out. The same kitchen the Huron County Home have been priceless—something money cannot buy.” Mrs. Martha Jacob spoke with emotion as she recall­ ed the 31 ygars she has spent as matron of the Home, when I spent an afternoon there last week. Not the least of these exper- perienees has been, watching the new addition to the Home near completion, ready for the official opening on Friday afternoon. It has meant much extra work and confusion for the staff but that was forgotten in knowing it would add greatly to the comfort of the 76 residents of the home and re­ lieve the crowded conditions of the past years. Before I began my tour of the new building, I sat for a few minutes in the reception room of the old building and was interest­ ed in the large marble plaque, framed in an ornate walnut frame which is on the south wall. On it are inscribed the names of those responsible for the construction of that building, known then as the House of Refuge, in 1895. W. Holmes was treasurer and W. Lane, clerk, at that time. Fowler and Fowler were the arch­ itects and I. S. Cooper, contractor, William McPherson was warden of the county and Henry Eilber, chairman mittee. Contract It was of County Council in 1952 that an architect was named to draw up plans for the addition and in June, 1953, the contract was let to Ellis-Don Limited of London. A ramp, which connects the old and new buildings, takes one into the new reception room. Modern in every detail, the north end of the room is made up of windows hung with attractive draw drape­ ries. At the opposite end is a fire­ place. Three framed floral pic­ tures in cross-stitch hang above it. Comfortable chairs and a ches­ terfield in blonde wood are placed to give a good view of the tele­ vision set beside the fireplace. A long table in matching blonde wood fills the centre of the op­ posite end of the large room. On the afternoon of my visit, Mrs. Jacob gave her permission for' Miss Jennie Parkinson to be brought down in a wheel chair to have her picture taken beside the fireplace. Miss Parkinson, who is 90 years old, was a former resident of Exeter. She has been a resi­ dent of the Home since 19 22. will continue in use and modern I equipment will be installed.
