Huron -Middlesex, on behalf of John Sweeney, Ontario's Minister of Community and Social Services, announced plans for a bed conversion pro- fect at Huronview Home for the Aged, in Uinten. Riddell said the ministry would provide assistance to Huron County, operat irs of the tome, to convert 10 of its residential care )3eds to extended care. Extended care beds are intended for the frailer residents of the ;home, who require more than one and a half tours of daily personal and nursing care. "I am pleased that the ministry can offer this assistance to help the home expand its -services and personnel," said Riddell. "This illustrates the Ontario government's com- mitment to ensure that an appropriate level of quality care is available for those seniors that need it." Huronview, a municipal home for the ag- ,;ed, operated by the County of Huron, plans to complete the conversion project in Oc- tober and offer area seniors a total of 129 residents care and 181 extended care beds. "I am really pleased with the news," said Wayne Lester, administrator of Huronview Home.

The choir competed against 10 other choirs, many of whom came from much larger centres. The group's amiable, energetic and knowledgeable director, Irla Stewart, can be given much of the credit for the choir's success. She has the knack of choosing music that suits the voice range of senior singers and her enthusiasm is highly contagious. The MacKay Choristers participate in the community's Christmas Concert and the annual Sound of Godrich with the Harbouraires, ('raigellen Singers and Iaketown Band. The group also entertains at MacKay Centre, Maitland Manor and Huronview. There is a good feeling of fellowship and fun among the members and they are anxious to share their gond times with any newcomers on Thursday, Oct. 10 at 9:30 a.m. Loans up to '10,000 are now available more equitable service for the older ones corning up so enjoy them. residents of Huron County."

The financing program for homeowners is called the EnerMark Loan Plan. loans under the EnerMark Loan Plan are available at lower than prime interest rates established by Ontario Hydro to cover a variety of home energy improvements from installing electric heat or central air condi- tioning to upgrading electrical service. The Royal Bank will administer the loans, ranging from $1,000 to $10,000 per home and payable over one to five years. All major Canadian banks were asked to submit proposals to administer the loan plan on Ontario Hydro's behalf, after which the Royal Bank was selected. "In most cases loan application and ap- proval can be completed within 24 to 48 hours," said Jim Gorman, Royal Bank Senior Vice -President of Retail Banking, ad- ding that, "all loans are life insured at no additional cost to the customer.' "The program offers the convenience of one-stop shopping for the customer," says Dane MacCarthy, Ontario Hydro's Vice President of Marketing. "The registered contractor can give customers all the infor- mation they need about electric options and can also help them fill out the required loan form right in the home." Contractors must register in the plan before they can offer these loans to their customers. For more information, contact your local Ontario Hydro office, municipal utility or any branch of the Royal Bank and ask about the EnerMark Loan Plan.
