Homemaking agency reports
another good year in .1980
By Shelley McPhee
For the third consecutive
year the Town and Country
Homemakers have had a
successful, year and all in-
dications point to further
increase and growth for the
agency in the future.
An immediate indication
of the agency's success was -
apparent at its annual
"meeting held at Holmesville
on, a 25 1V bgh t,0!.
people . attended the Pdinrief
Meeting, a substantial in-
crease from the first
Meeting held in 1979 when
.only 25 were present. •
In the •beginning years,
some 50 homemakers
provided personal and
domestic in-home care to. 25
clients a week. In 1980 close
to 80 homemakers serviced
124 clients a week.
As people have become
more aware of the agency,
the demand for homemakers
'has increased and 75 per cent
of their work now goes to
private individuals who in
1980 .purchased a total of
$182,159 of service. The
Huron Horne Care Program
is also a major purchaser of
homemaking services for
their patients and in the past
year bought $55,896 worth.
Social Services, the
Canadian Cancer , Society
and The Family and
Children's Services also
support the agency.

' Anyone who is ill, disabled
or is having difficulty
managing a home can hire
the services of the trained
homemakers. Presently 65
,..per cent of the clients are
senior citizens but according
. to the chairman of the board
of directors, Betty Cardno of
Seaforth; even a couple
going on vacation can hire a
homemaker to look after
thei{nhameand children.
The homemaker provides
a number of in-home ser-
vices. for , her clients . in-
cluding housekeeping and
personal care. The Town and
Country Homemakers also
offer a handyman service for
minor home maintenance
chores, a cleaning service
and transportation for those
who need personal
assistance.
• Agency Director Jean
Young of Wingham reported
that senior citizens who
purchase any of the services'
and cannot • afford the full
host, have had . their fees
subsidized through the .
Community Support .grant
from the Ministry of Com.
munity and Social Services.
Still the agency, a non-
profit organization, is in
need of more funds and in
her report Mrs. Cardno
stated, "If all levels of
government are sincere in
developing alternatives for
community health services,

more funds should be
available,- on a non -
conditional basis over a long
period of time."
The directors are planning
an all-out fund-raising drive
for the year with a $10,000
objective. This got off to a
good start at the annual
meeting when over $1,290
was raised in a quilt draw, a

in saving
By Gwen Pemberton
An appreciative audience
welcomed Jane Bigelow,
former mayor oaf .ondon, to<
the annual meeting of the
Town and Country- # e -
makers held March 24., Mrs.
Bigelow spoke to the group
on. the important • role
volunteers play 'i Com-
munity service.
'volunteerism', she
something she understands,
having taken part in it her-
self.
The history of voluntary
assistance can be traced
back to the beginnings of '-
civilization,
civilization, and it has
developed and changed over
the years as part of the
democratic process.
Mtthh progress has been
made since the days when
religious groups undertook
the role of caring for the sick
and `needy. Alternative ways
of tackling these problems
have been devised, involving
government at all levels.
But the workhouse, the
almshouse and the cheap
labor derived from child
apprenticeship to tradesmen
were inadequate methods,
and as a reaction voluntary
associations had emerged,
with specific groups under-
taking responsibility for
social requirements.
From the 19th century on-
wards, efforts were made to
meet every kind of need,
although it still was not
enough.
Referring to legislation
passed by Parliament in
response to community
needs, Mrs. Bigelow said this
is not the entire answer and
cannot replace the work of
voluntary associations ac-
ting independently, of
government.
Independence is one of the
main strengths and the heart
of democracy, she said.
Volunteers could and did
innovate programs and this
treed: extended�uver•the
pap( decade
overnmen . yob creation'
increased liaison with
people Involved In voluntary
activities, people who realize
that accepting responsibility
is pot just a matter of
providing means, but also
requires development of
specialized knowledge of the
,areas in which they work.
This aspect in itself provided
new- and interesting jobs as
well as the development of
creative approaches and
opportisunitiesimpofor
rtant evpraluationograma.
'It
should be tailored to' meet
local needs if they are to be
ongoing,, she emphasized.
Qne of the , hazards of
government methods is
rigidity and institutionalism,
which can interfere with and
undermine the work . of
volunteers., -
To counteract --phis it is
essential such groups should
assume the responsibility of
watch dogs to maintain their
own independence' •while at
the same time retaining a
commitment to the task.
These already were
recognized as definite ways
in which volunteer workers
contribute tothe social needs
of a community in
developing the necessary
structures.
Outlining the many areas
in which volunteers con-
tribute, Mrs. Bigelow
stressed that the 'Lady
Bountiful' image no longer
exists and the work under-
taken is extending to men.
No longer is it seen as the
exclusive role of women in
society.
Through experience and a
choice to become involved,
women had become, more
assertive and showed them-
selves to be good policy
makers.
Challenging opportunities
exist, she said, and another
institute holds its
citizenship meeting
•BELGRAVE — The citi-
zenship meeting of the Bel -
grave Women's Institute was
held recently in the WI hall,
Belgtave.. ' • • •
Mrs. Ross Taylor;—con-
vener for the program, gave
a most interesting talk on the
Year of the Disabled. She
discussed the many limita-
tions that society places on
the handicapped people and
urged everyone to consider
their many abilities rather
than their disabilities.
Mrs.. Alice Scott read an
article entitled "What is' a
Canadian". Mrs. Clare Van
Camp gave the motto
..'Homes • are greenhouses .
where citizens are started'.
An interesting quiz. on In
stitute personalities and cur-
rent events was conducted
by Mrs;, Ross Taylor.
Mts. Ross Higgins, presi-
dent, conducted the' busi-
ness.
. Huron West executive
meeting was announced for
April 6 in Holmsville. The
members were urged to send
letters to the CRTC pro-
testing the possible 30 per
cent raise in Bell Telephone
rates.
The Institute classes for
the 1981 Belgrave, Blyth and
Brussels School Fair were
renewed by Mrs. Clare Van
Camp.
Lunch was served by Mrs.
Lawrence Taylor, Mrs.
. Garner Nicholson and Mrs.
Jesse Wheeler.
St Pam's meeting
has an Easter theme
The April meeting of St.
Paul's Anglican Church
Women was held April 2 in
the reception room of the
Alfred ''Street apartments
with an attendance of 19.
The meeting opened by
singing a hymn with Mrs.
Mary Wade playing ac-
companiment. Mrs. Daisy
Connell read ' scripyure and
Mrs. Tom Metcalfe had
charge of the topic. She
chose Matthew, chapter 27,
verse 55, as the basis of her
Easter message and told
how dedicated women serve
the sorrowing and aid
Christian survival. She said
that if dedicated Christian
women use their gifts wisely,
so much lies ahead for them
in a glorious future.
The Thankoffering meet-
ing was discussed and it was
announced that the spring
Deanery meeting will be
held in Seaforth on May 7.
President Mrs. Alvin Hig-
gins closed the meeting with
prayer. The hostesses, Mrs.
Wade, Mrs. Velma Coates,
Miss Edna Mitchell and Mrs.
