Seniors'
spy Centre News
By )rata Ince
This past week's program
at the Wingham and Area
Day Centre, for the Home-
bound had a fairly good turn-
out as the weather was much
milder.
The Senior Chef program
on CKNX started last Satur-
day and the clients were en-
couraged to watch it as we
will be doing follow-up
sessions each week. Cathy
Thomson, Huron county's
nutritionist, has chosen our
seniors as a target group.
The series consists off 13
half-hour programs on food
preparation, food budgeting,
selection and menu plan-
ning. Produced by the Bri-
tish Columbia Ministry of
Health, it is especially made
for senior citizens.
Bert Dodd ia•a 65 -year-old
amateur chef and a former
civil servant and is a very
humorous person, so watch
the show every Saturday.
A Senior Chef cookbook
will be available also for a
nominal cost.
Lloyd `Casey' Casemore
was in Jan. 14 to show his
film on glaucoma, a serious -
eye disease. Glaucoma -can
lead to blindness if not
detected early. The film was
informative and really
brought the issue down to
earth,
`Casey' also had some
interesting stories to tell
about his recent trip to
Holland.
Everyone at the centre has
taken an active interest in
our mobile greenhouse. This
week we will be starting
seeds in an effort to have box
plants and vegetables for
sale by spring.
We had a film, entitled
'The Art of Age', last Thurs-
day. It was produced by the
Ministry of culture ,and
Recreation and it showed
how retirement can be a pro-
ductive and satisfying part" -
of one's life, if you put some-
thing into it.
. If anyone wishes to
volunteer to drive for us or
volunteer at the centre,
please call 357-1440, anytime.
E. Powell chooses farming
as theme for Wingham WI
Edward Powell, guest
speaker, spoke on `Farming
Today' at the January
meeting of the Wingham
Women's Institute. He
stressed the point that if this
country does not encourage
its young people to remain on
the farm and raise more
food, the world may starve.
He termed `alarming' the
fact thatainly four per cent of
the country's young people
are returning to the farm
after receiving their educa-
tion.
The speaker stated that
urban, members of
Parliament do not" realize
that too many buildings,
roads and hydro lines are
being built on good far-
mland. "We need this land
and our young farm people to
help save the food situation,"
he said. "Ontario is the best
farming province in the
Dominion and if we should
have a failure it would mean
a serious situation for us
all.
Mr. Powell said that our
forefathers grew the grain,
fed the cattle and put it back
a. into the land in the form of
manure. Today everyone is
using fertilizer ..to make
rapid growth and `are putting
different chemicals into the.
food, thus making expenses
higher, He feels that farmers
will have to return to smaller
farms and have less ex-
pensive Machinery, thus
reducing operating costs.
MRS. WILLIAM SOTHERN
The speaker noted that the
government had ti ven a
large amount of money to
help the Chrysler Cor-
poration and feels that young
farmers should be helped in
the same way so more would
be interested in coming back
to the farm.
Mr. Powell urged
everyone to encourage their
young people to remain on
the farm and to advise urban
politicians to chane some of
their projects.
The speaker was thanked
by Mrs. Lapp. Roll call was
answered by naming a
prominent person born on a
farm. Thank -you notes were
read from Mrs. John Currie
and Mrs. Elston, also an •
acknowledgement from the
secretary of the children's
hospital, London, for the
donation from the WI.
Mrs. Siefer sent ,a letter
from Ohio, thanking the WI
for the quilt she won. After
an instrumental by Mrs
Ritchie and some com-
munity singing, Mrs. Lapp
gave a reading entitled
`Reminiscing at Home'. Mrs.
Powell read about `The
Thinkers and the Doers'.
The meeting closed with
the singing of `God Save the
Queen' and lunch was ser-
ved. Mrs. Powell and Mrs.
Lapp, conveners of
Agriculture and Canadian
Industries, were in charge of
the meeting.
