in the early 1970s in this area, Betty
Cardno, administrator, required
homemakers when she needed ancillary
services for the program. Patients under
the provincial Home Care program
receive professional services such as
nursing (V.O.N.), physiotherapy and
occupational therapy as needed and
funded by OHIP. They cannot receive
ancillary services such as homemaking
(maximum 80 hours) unless there is a
need for a professional service.
The need for homemaking services
eventually grew to such an extent that
Mrs. Young and Mrs. Cardno got
together to apply for the Canada Works
grant which enabled Town and Country
Homemakers to be formed.
Older people are crying out for help to
stay but of nursing homes, says Mrs.
Young. The federal and provincial
governments, in an effort to cut health
costs, are urging people to buy
homemaking services which in the long
run are much cheaper than having to
stay in a hospital or live in a nursing
home.
Another benefit of starting a
homemaker service, says Mrs. Young,
was to equalize the wages of all the
homemakers who were on their own
before and to give these homemakers an
employer or supervisor to call with

Workers Association and the Ministry of
Health and Welfare to look into all
aspects of quality care in the home. She

As, part of Education Week
the students of Brookside
, participated in a science,
history, geography and_,hobby
fair on Wednesday, April 19
which was open to the parents
in the morning.
The exhibits were placed in
the gym on Tuesday af-
ternoon and judged by a
committee of the teachers
who had a very difficult task
choosing among the many
creative, original, interesting
and informative exhibits.
Credit is due to all who took
part.
The prize winners were as
follows: Grades 7 and 8
Build a compost
heap this summer
Would you• like to cut down on your use of chemical
fertilizers, and at the same time reclaim some of the
garbage leaving your kitchen?
Composting is one way we can benefit from our gar-
bage. It can be used as a mulching material. When added
to the topsoil it improves texture, porosity, water holding,
capacity, and also increases the organic content of the
soil.
Composting simply involves taking organic.wastes and
placing them in a soil culture. The construction of a
backyard compost heap can be simple and inexpensive.
An easy method is to take the bottom out of a large
garbage can, drill some side holes for ventilation and
start placing compost inside. The cover will keep pests
away and will also contain the heat. Heat is produced as
the garbage decomposes. This heat should be contained,
because it helps keep the natural organisms functioning,
which helps to decompose the waste.
Add compost materials as they become available. Do
not add thick layers of finely ground materials such as
sawdust, which packs tightly and prevents ventilation.
It is also a good idea to place a layer of soil or manure
between the layers of garbage about every eight inches.
This will increase the bacteria count and speed up
decomposition. Keep the compost moist, but not soggy. If
possible fork over the pile every four or five days to
speed up decomposition. Turning the compost mixes and
aerates the raw compost.
Items to compost include kitchen garbage, pean%''and
nut shells, pet wastes, barbecue grill residues, leaves,
garden wastes, and grass clippings. Other items which
are, acceptable in small amount include egg shells, clam
and oyster,shells, and sawdust.
Tour compost heap should be located in a sunny,
breezy corner of your backyard or garden. Make sure it
is well away from water ways or wells, and it is at least
sone foot above the water table.
By starting a compost heap now, you can 'have
mulching material for your garden by mid -summer or
fall. This is one.way you can reclaim some of the garbage'
leaving your home.

Is it necessary to file a
dispute if you are engaged in
trying to reach a settlement
out of court?
The ten day period for filing
a dispute does not stop run-
ning even though both the
plaintiff and defendant are
attempting to settle out of,
court. This is of particular
importance for example, if the
plaintiff is suing ori a debt. The
court clerk may sign
judgement against a defen-
dant who •has not filed his
dispute, without any trial
taking place. The plaintiff who
is now the judgement creditor,
will then go about enforcing
the judgement. Hopefully a
defendant will pay voluntarily
and a defendant who does not
pay may be faced with gar-
nishment of his wages or
seizure of his personal
belongings.
