(;DHSS teams lose in basketball and football Several C.H.S.S. teams were in action last week, but all found their opponents to be stiff opposition. The Senior Girls' Basketball team played two games last week. In their match against Mitchell, they ended up on the short end of a 49 to 27 score. Mary Gibson was the top scorer for Central Huron with a total of 12 points. This team's other match last week was against Seaforth. Although the Redmen played well through much of the game, the oppostion pulled ahead in the last part of the match. High scorer in this game was Kris MacDonald with 13 points. The Junior Girls Basketball team also had two matches last week. The game against Mitchell (in their first game of the season) resulted in a 40 to 25 loss for Central Huron. The junior's Seaforth game was also a loss. The final score was 42 - 34. High scorers in these two games were Chris Botermans and Lori Bechtal. The Cross Country team was off and running last week again. Kerry Schmidt took top honors for the team, placing seventh out of 54 runners in the junior girls division.

Judith Ann Fisher, Coordinator, Cheshire Homes of London, Inc., luncheon speaker, said in London a residence on Princess Avenue provides for eight adults and 16 one -and -two bedroom apartments on Cherryhill Drive accommodate 18 tenants. She said the residents are provid- ed with 24-hour support care. Eligible for residence are physically -handicapped in- dividuals, aged 18 and oiler, who as a con- sequence are unable to carry out some or all of the activities of daily living without assistance. Mrs. Fisher explained that the Cheshire Homes were started in England and now throughout the world provide accommoda- tion for physically disabled adults who re- quire varying degrees of personal support care - help with tasks such as getting in and out of bed, bathing, dressing and so forth - but who are capable of a con- siderable degree of independence, and do not require hospital or nursing home care. Mrs. Fisher reported that government funding for the apartments is 100 per cent but operating costs are shared by the residents and the ministry of community and social services and the ministry of housing. Cheshire Homes rely on the continued support of many community volunteers for day to day functioning and donations are welcomed, she stated. Application has been made to the government for two more apartment buildings in London as there is a Large waiting list, Mrs. Fisher said. Two residents in wheelchairs who live in Cheshire apartments accompanied Mrs. Fisher to the conference - Patty Brown, formerly of Exeter, and John Doolittle, whose parents live in Midland, told what it means to them to live in an apartment with support' care, "a place you can call your own". They said the freedom allows them to be more independent. Mrs. Fisher said new residents have lit- tle faith in themselves as usually they have been over -protected at home by parents. As Mr. Doolittle: said, "I need a little help, a little support and I can do the rest myself." Mrs. Fisher concluded, "Whatever our differences of approach may be our objec- tive is to be the same."
