Volunteers help others
around the world
CLINTON - "Being a volunteer is
something special and so often we shrug it
off. It's not second rate work. What would
organizations be like without volunteers?"
Volunteers, the important role they play
in Canada and around the world was a focus
of a presentation given by Irene Crawford at
the Huron Day Centre Volunteer Spring
Workshop, held on April 18. Mrs. Crawford
writes the column, the Senior Side of Living,
a feature of the London Free Press for the
past nine years.
Mrs. Crawford noted, "smiles and small
obligations that bring comfort to mankind is
what it's all about", quoting Dr. Sir Hum-
phry Davies.
Volunteerism, she noted, is evident
around the world. In fact in many countries,
where funding is limited and trained
workers are scarce, "Volunteers must per-
form all crucial services."
In Belguim, volunteers from a retiree
group in one northern city established a tour
guide program, geared specifically for
elderly tourists.
In Bristol, volunteers assist victims of
robbery and assault. They provide
counselling and help restore the victim's
confidence.
Scotland's volunteers utilize van services
to provide information and food to the elder-
ly. A mobile advice centre brings
counselling and information to seniors.
Chefs on Wheels delivers 500 meals at a time
to seniors who live in high rise apartments.
In Taiwan, Granparenting Rooms have
been set up in the schools for the elderly.
Paid social workers and volunteers teach
the elderly how to adjust and cope with the
country's changing lifestyle and how to live
with the things they cannot change. The pro-
gram hopes to lessen the high incidence of
suicide among the elderly.
In countries around the globe, volunteers
have a high profile during times of crisis,
but Mrs. Crawford noted, that "everyday
volunteers" need recognition for their day
to day dedication.
Mrs. Crawford was one of several guest
speakers who took part in the day -long
workshop.
Joan Van Den Broeck of the Heart and
Stroke Foundation spoke on the topic
"Strokes and Volunteers."
Bryan Lavis of Lavis Insurance in Clinton
explained what insurance coverage is
recommended for volunteer drivers.
Jack Carter, Chief Engineer at Huron -
view reviewed fire safety procedures.
Workshop attendants also learned about
the misconceptions of the mentally retard-
ed, procedures to save a choking victim and
.flow to lift and transfer patients safely.
More than 24 volunteers attended the
workshop.
This type of education seminar has
become an annual event at the Huron Day
Centre. Work at the Centre relies heavily on
volunteer contributions and each June,
Volunteer Appreciation Night is held to
honor their efforts.
In 1984 the Huron Day Centre was open 253
days and provided 3,531 days of care for an
average of 14 clients per day.
The Centre received 1,563 days of
volunteer service with an average of six
volunteers per day. During 1984, some 60
volunteers assisted at the Centre.

The Clinton Kinettes were involved in a
little Easter Egg-citement last Tuesday
night.
Everyone arrived at the Clinton Credit
Union, carrying their Easter basket and
anxious to see what their so-called Easter
surprise would be. With a time limit of 25
minutes to collect the required items, they
proceeded to the mystery dinner which turn-
ed out to be at the Bedford Hotel in
Goderich. The winners of the Easter Egg-
citement were Carol Lobb, Bette Dalzell and
Mary Wood.

value, it will certainly help towards the pur-
chase of the required furnishings of the
Town Hall Auditorium.
