better suited to those who
are frail or confused by a lot
of activities. The plans are
less structured and allow for
more relaxed activities.
But the activities are not
restricted to the centre itself.
On alternate Tuesdays some
clients swim at a nearby
indoor heated pool.
On the other Tuesday,
they bowl, at the nearby
bowling lanes. This activity
is run by a client and aided
by special ramps designed
and built by the male clients
in the woodwork shop. Both
the designs r. of the ramp and
the co-ordinator of the
bowling are paraplegics who
would never have considered
undertaking such projects in
the past.
Some activities are
planned for both Huronview
residents and clients.
Shuffleboard tournaments
and teas with the baking
done by clients have proved
popular.
The advantages outweigh
the disadvantages to be
attached to Huronview.
There is a ready access to
emergency care, reduction in
costs due to shared services
like dining, hair care and
whirlpool bath. The day care
centre also provides an
introduction to life in the
residences so that when the
need arises for fulltime care
the transition is made easier.
Plus many day centre clients
are able to visit friends in
Huronview.
But there is that old fear of
being associated with the
"poor house". Some people
are reluctant to get involved
with the day centre programs
for fear they would have their
life committed to Huronview.
It would also be good if the
day centre could be located
closer to a general hospital
where the clients would have
access to clinics and therapy
there.
The benefits of the centre
have been enormous and

Reporter learns to add at Huron's DayCentre
by Rhea Hamilton
I was trying to be inconspic ,uous. But no
one was letting me get away with melting
into the woodwork and just watching.
"How are you at adding?" a little man
cornered me with. "Only fair," I replied
and be quickly pushed a list of easy
numbers under my nose to add. His card
playing friends, seeing something funny
was about to take place, sat back from their
table and watched while I added the
numbers with care. Admittedly I knew
there must be a. trick to this so I took my
time and added carefully. Now adding
numbers slowly is relatively easy but I
must admit that thousands and hundredspf
thousands fool me. And they certainly
did.
When I got my total I told him and he
soberly lookd me in the eye and wanted to
know where I had added in the extra
10,000? Aghast I looked over the long
column offigures and noted I had in fact
carried too many numbers over two
columns over instead of one. It didn't seem
to matter, everyone around the table
enjoyed seeting someone else fall into an
IQ test administered by William Close.
William travels from Ethel with three
other ladies to the Day Centre for senior
citizens at Huronview.
He has a flair with tests and keeps
everyone's brows knitted over new prob-
lems.
Poser
Howard Clark and Russell McCreight
enjoy games of poker and a good joke.
Many volunteers find it hard to keep them
involved in other activities at the Huron
Day Centre for the Homebound.
The centre has been open a year now
serving the needs of those homebound due
to age or disability. The program is smaller
than one would imagine, 90 clients in total
are served, The limit is twelve per day and
the centre is full with a waiting list. The
facilities are shared at Huronview, east of
Clinton,
"Something like this should have been
going years ago" said Bertha Gibb, Bertha
is a volunteer driver from Clinton and had
just arrived with a car load from Dashwood
and Grand Bend.
"I enjoy driving and I enjoy helping
people more." she% said,
"Just listen to what they have to say.
Too many people listen to old folks but
don't hear a word they say," Bertha said.
"They have rights too."
PRAISE
But she was not the only one that
morning to have praise for the Day Centre
program.
"They are hard bossess out here"
Margaret Farquhar, Clinton, pointed out to
me while she was quickly hooking a front for
a pillow. "But we enjoy it all" she laughed.
Margaret is a volunteer and a member of the
:"Active Seniors Helping the Homebound".
RECEIVE MORE
"We give but we receive far more by
helping outMargaret said. She and a friend
Edna Eckmier were both busy hooking
pillow panels. Edna is from Ethel and
makes the long trip twice a week to
Clinton. "I look forward to the time I' can
get down here" Edna said.
Hilda Scheerer is also from Ethel and
enjoys the social atmosphere best of all.
"I keep busy and the time goes fast"
Hilda said. "I keep making squares for
afghans."
Pleasant people draw others. At the
centre, loneliness is set aside and getting
back into the swing of life is the order of
the day.
Seniors day centre fills need in Huron
many biess the volunteers it possible for them to be a
and their drivers for making part of the program.
