The Goderich Signal-Star, 1978-05-04, Page 32„PAGE 8A--GQDERICH SIGNAL -STAR, THURSDAY, MAY 4, 1978 IODE in Goderich. 40 from page 7A is the building of a com- munity centre in the Indian community of Attawapiskat, in James Bay area. This community had nothing says Mrs. Neville until some ladies from the provincial chapter took it under their wing. Materials for the centre were shipped up and chapters across the province con- tributed money to furnish the centre with such things as washing machines, sewing machines and even a plastic greenhouse for the short growing season. The com- munity is now much more self-sufficient. One member of the Ahmeek Chapter, Mrs. J. Calvin Cutt, makes quilts for Sick Children's Hospital in Lon- don. This was a project she started many years ago. Each year a large number are sent and the letters pf thanks Mrs. Cutt receives proves how much the hospital appreciates receiving them from the Chapter says Mrs. Neville. Hospital gowns are made from men's used white shirts and also this year summer dresses for little girls are being made from men's used shirts to be sent to the provincial chapter for distribution to the needy. Baby layettes are also in- -clucked in these bales: Locally when requests fin- cash orcash donations are received by the Ahmeek Chapter, they are dealt with as funds permit:; The chapter has donated to the St. John Ambulance, Girl Guides, Canadian Legion Poppy Fund and the arena fund to names just a few. In addition the chapter is still faithful to the hospital helping when possible to purchase equip- ment. A microscope was donated which enabled blood tests to be made here rather than the delay of sending out of town and 'waiting for reports. A quite small por- table X-ray unit was also donated which allowed certain X-rays to be done without having to move the patients to the X-ray department. Some I.O.D.E. members help repair linens at the hospital and others assist with Meals -on -Wheels. Visiting. people at Huron - view and Maitland Manor is yet another way in which the Ahmeek members par- -ticipate in the community. A national project entitled Concern for the Elderly, encourages I.O.D.E. mem- bers to go out and visit the elderly. The I.O.D.E. makes representation to the government. The national; and provincial chapters do this to represent the primary chapters across the country such a's the Ahmeek and the Maple Leaf Chapters. For example, a letter to the Minister of Health and Finance requesting . that the government reconsider its intention to cut grants for medical research was sent by the I.O.D.E. along with copies of that letter to the ministers and leaders of other parties. The' minister replied and noted that two million dollars had been allotted for the grants and Mrs. Neville says she feels that the I.O.D.E. influence had something to do with this figure. The Queen is a patron of I.O.D.E. which is therefore allowed `o use her name, says Mrs. Neville. The Victoria League in England is the counterpart to Canada's I.O.D.E. During the Queen's Silver Jubilee last year, the I.O.D.E. sent a letter to the Postmaster General suggesting that a com- memorative stamp for this occasion be issued and it was. The Ahmeek Chapter has several life members, honorary members and regular mem-bersy several who have their 25 year pins. Mrs. W.G. MacEwan received her 50 year pin several years back. Even so, says Mrs. Neville, those who do not have a long service pin, do work hard and are a real credit and help to the Ahmeek Chapter. In order to raise money for chapter projects, they organize dessert -card parties, hold an annual Tag Day in June, have rummage and bake sales, quilt draws and fashion shows. And Mrs. Neville would emphasize again that all members are volunteers, people who are interested in helping others and concerned for the welfare of all. MAPLE LEAF CHAPTER WORK One of the chief sources of income for the Maple Leaf Chapter of the I.O.D.E. is the Opportunity Shop which was started in 19.53. This shop is open Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays from 2 to 4 p.m. and is manned by volunteers of the chapter. It has a two fold purpose. It serves a need in the com- munity by providing reasonably priced second hand clothing and other items to those who need it and 4 secondly, the revenue from the shop as well as the Maple Leaf Chapter's" many other projects, allows the chapter to provide high school bur- saries, -scholarships, awards for public speaking, social studies, Canadian studies and At All Sixteen Branches of 4isooui r Here's the Spring Sale you've Grade 8 general proficiency, assistance to the mentally retarded, the Girl Guides, Meals--on-Wheels and an A adopted school as well as supporting provincial and national I.O.D.E. funds -- an Turn to page 9A B ROCKWELL' S 9" MOTORIZED SAW Complete with motor, two wings and stand.
