Homemaking services are available
by Wilma Oke
'Homemaking services
established in pHuron in
1977 are available to any
resident of Huron County
if the need is there, was
revealed at the first
annual meeting of the
Town and Country
Homemakers in Clinton
last Wednesday.
Board chairman,
Elizabeth Cardno , of
Seaforth, spoke of the
increasing number of
requests for the services.
She said this was due to
more people living
longer, the desire of
people to be as in-
dependent 'as possible
and the emphasis of
Government to provide
more assistance to allow
residents to remain in
their, homes. •
Mrs. Cardno outlined in
her report"that all costs
for Rome Care, initiated
in the county in 1971, are
funded by the Ministry of
Health if the patients are
insured by OHIP. She
said as the Home Care
Program expanded the
need soon became ap-
parent that many persons
in the county required
homemaking but did not
qualify for Home Care
and no professional
service was required.
As a result, the
Homemaking agency was
established in 1978 with
the aid of two Canada
Works grants with the
funding to end in July '79.
"Fund raising stands
out as the priority
needing to be considered
by the membership, Mrs.
Cardno stated. "As a non-
profit incorporated
agency, there is no direct
government funding. All
funds to support the
agency are dependent on
the fees received for the
services provided,
whether purchased by the
Home Care program,
Social Services, Family
and Children's Services,
Cancer Society or by
private individuals. In
order to keep the fees at a
reasonable cost, ad-
ditional funds are
required," she said.
Mrs. Cardno said any
resident can buy the
services of a homemaker
or a home helper on a
private basis.
Jean Young, ad-
ministrator, in her report
spoke of the number of
people who have looked to
the Huron Town and
Country Homemakers for
ideas in starting similar
agencies in their areas
such as Nova Scotia and
many places in Ontario.
Mrs. . Young stressed
the need for fund raising,
"In many ways, we are
not only at the ,front line
in providing direct ser-
vices but we are in the
forefront of responding to
the new mood of our
society. As our business
is increasing very
rapidly, I think the
challenge for the new
.'board will be not only to
continue providing the
services` now provided
but to find ways of
augmenting the funding
,.of, the service so that
more persons in Huron
County can receive our
services."
Linda Young of the
Wingham association,
showed slides to illustrate
the many facets of care
available in the county.
She said there is a field
worker who assesses- the
needs of the client, ..and
she described the
homemaker as someone
who has been trained in a
three-month course on
giving personal care,
getting meals and special
diets, bed baths and othgr
light housekeeping work
needed to maintain the
client in the home. She
said a homemaker
always works with a
professional person such
as a nurse or
physiotherapist.
Other services
provided are by a group
of workers called Home
Help, including house
cleaners and handy men;
hairdressers, barbers
people who will provide
transportation services,
do friendly visiting,
-provide sitter services for
the elderly and han-
dicapped and sitter
service in a crisis.
By caring for people in
their homes where
possible rather than
being in hospital, Mrs.
YQung estimated the
savings in Huron to date
as $1,148,752.
There are about 90
homemakers and home
helpers in Huron County
now.

More -French for separate schools
BY WiLMA OKE
The Huron -Perth
Roman Catholic Separate
School Board approved
the extension of the
French program in 18 of
, its 19 schools at a meeting
in Dublin Monday night.
The 19th school, Ecole
Ste. Marie at Zurich, is a
bilingual school.
Beginning in Sep-
tember, 1980, the oral
French program will be
extended to include
Grades 4 and 5, in ad-
dition to the Grades 6, 7
and 8 now taught French.
The course will be taught
in 20 -minute periods
daily, instead of the 40 -
minute periods every
other day as Qow taught.
The ministry Of education
considers the shorter
periods every day easier
for the student to learn
French than the longer,
period every other day.
William Eckert,
Director of Education,
said that it ' will mean
doubling the number of
teachers to eight from the
four and a half now
teaching the French
program. He said the
teachers • will be
travelling more miles,
increasing the mileage
each day to 244 miles, up
from the 219 miles per
day now.
In answer to a question
from Trustee Vincent
Young of Goderich about
funding the increased
costs, Mr. Eckert replied
that out of the four
teachers hired, funding
would cover the cost of
two of them from
government grants.
Trustee Young replied,
that would equal another
mill.
Vice-chairman Ronald
Marcy noted that from a
ministry of education
article he had found that
in Grades 4, 44.0 percent
of the students in public
schools were taught
French compared to 78.4
percent in separate
schools; and in Grades 5,
55.4 percent of the public
students received French
instruction compared to
81.1 percent in the
separate schools.
The board amended its
policy regarding kin- •
dergarten children
registering for classes.
Presently, before a
kindergarten pupil can be
registered and admitted
to kindergarten for the
school year, he or she
must attain the age of
five years of age on or
before December 31.
Where there are suf-
ficient student spaces
available in the child's
school of attendance, a
child who attains the age
of five years after
December 31, but prior to
January 31, may on the
request of the parent be
registered for the school
year.
The board voted to
accept the tender of
McNab Bus Sales
Limited of St. Thomas to
supply one 1978 Inter-
national 66 -passenger
school bus and one 1978
International 54 -
passenger (automatic
transmission) school bus
for the ampunt of
$33,169.60 after trade-in
allowance.
$3.3,169.60.
The board accepted the
resignations of two of its
bus drivers -- Bernard
Denomme, school bus
driver at Ecole Ste.
Marie and Charles Erb at
St. Boniface School,
Zurich.
Approval was given by
the board to the Early
Assessment -
Identification Process of
students for all kin-
dergarten pupils ac-
cording to the
requirement of the
ministry of education.
Principal Michael
Dewan of Immaculate
Conception School and
Laurie Kraftcheck,
Grade 8 teacher at St.
Michael's School, both in
Stratford presented an
outline on the in-
termediate science
curriculum as taught to
the students and an-
swered questions by the
trustees.
The board meeting was
conducted under the
bright lights of the Cable
Television cameras. John
McCarroll of Stratford, in
charge of the five -man
crew, commended the
board members for their
conduct with no
showboating and no one
trying to take over. He
said the program would
go on the air on Wed-
nesday of this week
between 6 and 7 p.m. and
again next week. He
offered copies of the
program to be usect for
showing in schools in
those areas where the
Mitchell Cable TV
company does not reach.
