U between Hensen end Zurich 236-4979 We're open daily 9 a.m. - 6 p.m. Open Friday night till 9:00 Closed Sundays Financial picture is food. Hospital administrator Elmer Taylor says,. AM&G is having its best year financially in ,four years, boasting a $123,000 surplus as of the end of August. The fact that seven beds have been ' closed during recent construction is part of the reason for the surplus and Taylor says the government's new B.O.N.D. ( Business Oriented New Development) system of budgeting has worked to AM&G's advantage so far. Referral system A number of meetings have been held in order to establish a referral system in Huron County for alcohol and drug ad- diction. In Goderich, this referral system would be operated out of the psychiatric wing of AM&G, The only cost associated with the service will be for a separate telephone and for the long distance calls .to other centres. Some funding would be available from the Committee on Alcohol and Drug Addiction for this purpose. Ultrasound purchase The hospital board is still considering the purchase of an ultrasound machine for AM&G as recommended by the radiologist. However, because of rapidly changing technology in this field, they are delaying any final purchase until they feel they can get the best possible price. Telephone system Mr. Taylor has recommended to the board that a consultant be hired in order to assess the need for a new telephone system to replace the antiquated system which. AM&G now has. With the wide number and variety of systems available, he feels a consultant is necessary to make recommendations before calling tenders. A new system could mean telephones in patients' rooms. H OSPIT,<< k L BRIT:.: FS Extra beds Confirmation has been received from the Ministry of Health that 10 additional nursing home beds will be available in a new addition at Maitland Manor Nursing Home in Goderich. These extra beds are already starting to relieve the chronic care bed situation at AM&G, says Mr. Taylor. The Ministry has also asked the hospital board to submit its proposal for the 12 psycho -geriatric beds it wants but has not committed itself to the Chronic Home Care Program which was to have started in Huron County this year. Disaster plan The mock disaster exercise held here July 14 was a valuable learning ex- perience for hospital staff, reports Mr. Taylor. Following a debriefing on October 13, the existing disaster plan will be rewritten to incorporate new things learned. Food system A new food service system will be in effect at AM&G within six to eight weeks at a cost of $20,000 per year. The hospital board has accepted the recommendation of administrator Elmer Taylor and food services supervisor Theresa Kirkey to install the Aladdin Food Service insulated tray system to replace the exisiting hot food cart delivery system which is both out -dated, energy inefficient ' and awkward to handle. The new system is much lighter and will keep food at its proper tem- perature for longer periods of time. Homeriakers launch fund- raising campaign Town and ,Country Homemakers, one of Huron County's vital service agencies, launched its first county -wide fund raising campaign this month. Since its. inception in 1978, the agency, has sold visiting homemakers' services to private individuals, the Ministry of Health Home Care Program, Huron County Social Services and the Cancer Society, as well as other agencies. According to Beverley Brown, Chairman of the Board of Directors, while there are many. clients who can afford to pay the full cost of the help they require, there are a large number of pegple who badly need homemaking who cannot pay for it. • . These people are the primary reason for the present fund raising cam- paign. The secondary reason, is to pay off the mortgage on the house that holds the agency's office. The agency did not buy this house because of an interest in investing in real estate! The decision to buy was,made-because the house was about to be sold (June 1981) and it was clearly a less expensive .alternative than renting other office. space. "The actual monthly cost of buying was less than half of what it would have been to rent and move to other quarters. Besides . that, moving is expensive. It would have cost over $700 to move telephone equipment which includes watts lines that are essential for contact between homemakers and the office," says Jean Young; Executive Director. Alun Thomas, board member and a United Church minister in Bayfield, says he has had many oc- casions to appreciate what Town and Country Homemakers provides as he visits residents in his area. "While the 'dollar and cents, value is an important, and practical reason for its existence," Rev. Thomas comments, "Town and Country Homemakers meets a much , greater need by permitting the elderly, the ill and shut-in a degree of. in- dependence and dignity by being cared for in their own familiar surroundings and amidst the support of family. and neighbours." Rev. Thomas says he has also seen the value of homemaking service for those who choose to look after their sick at home: He says; '`There is little doubt that Town and Country Homemakers is an im- portant relief structure and I believe it offers an ac- ceptable alternative to those seeking to look after their loved ones who are in- capacitated." Deanne Dickson, who is co- ordinating the fund raising campaign from the Wingham office, is working with volunteer groups to carry out a door-to-door canvass. Every home in Huron County will receive a brochure that outlines the work of the agency and the reason for the campaign, with a return envelope that does not need a stamp! Deanne explains, "Our great hope in doing this, is that every family will be made aware of the services that are available and will have the opportunity to contribute, whether or riot a canvasser calls at their door. We very much appreciate the hours that have been, and will be, given' by volunteers who are helping us in this effort to make homemaking service available to everyone ; in Huron County who needs it, regardless of what portion of the cost they are able to pay." Jean Young says most of the homemakers love their work.., "They are `people' people who enjoy helping others." As one of the homemakers said, "There is real satisfaction in this work because you know your help is really needed." Letters of appreciation from recipients of a homemaker's care are among rewards. Here are excerpts from two: . "No words can express my •thankfulness for the help of. the homemaker who assisted me in caring for my, aged mother. She was• kindness itself." "Expresssions of heartfelt appreciation to someone are rare, which is perhaps why people often find it awkward to communicate this feeling. But for us, our gratitude to the Town and Country Homemakers is as, easy to . express as it is genuinely felt. From all of you, we recognized a quality and quantity of care that went beyond •what we—or she— even anticipated. Your contribution to ,easing her concerns, as well as her physical discomfort, to letting her enjoy life to the greatest degree possible and to maintaining her in- dependence and dignity, were of immeasurable importance to her—and to those of us who were farnily and close friends."

At the board's Sept. 26 meeting, chairman John O'Leary polled his col- leagues to see if they would be seeking trusteeship for a three -year -term. "I'll be picking up my nomination papers," said Mr. O'Leary. . Three trustees said they will definitely not be runn- ing. Ted Geoffrey who represents Zurich, Hensall and the Township of Hay reiterated what he had said at the board's previous meeting, that he would not be running again. Also Jean- nette Eybergen of Stratford and Vincent Young of Goderich won't be running again. Trustee Eybergen is. a two-year veteran of the board, while Mr. Young has sat on the board since its in- ception in 1969 and prior to that on the Goderich separate school board. Besides the chairman, those who will be in the runn- ing are Ron Murray of McKillop Township; Arthur Haid who represents Milver- ton, Listowel and the townships of Mornington, Wallace, Elma, Maryborough and parts of Peel and Wellesley; Ron Marcy of Stratford; Timm McDonnell of Ellice Township; Erni Vanderschott . representing St. Marys, Mitchell and the townships of Blanshard and Fullarton; Greg Fleming representing Exeter and the townships of Usborne and Stephen and parts of Bid- dulph and MacGillvray. Chairman O'Leary represents Dublin and the townships of Hibbert and Logan. Originally Mr. Murray said he was undecided, but following the meeting he commented he would run for one more term. In other business, the board: - will request background in- formation from the Village of Zurich regarding its state- ment in a letter to the board that "it has become obvious that school boards have not practiced the same restraints as have municipal councils in the county". The letter from Zurich has been sent to all municipal councils in Huron including county council and to the Huron Board of Education. Trustee Marcy said he disagrees with the statement and would like to know where the information was obtained to make the statement; - supports and encourages the students in the - Huron - Perth separate school system to carry Mother Theresa • boxes on Hallowe'en. When bought in,_ bulk, the boxes are 20 cents each which covers ad- ministration costs for Alliance for Life which ad- ministers the program. It is up to the individual schools to purchase the boxes.
