The Presbyterian Church has decided to have no Sunday School for the month of July while the congregation "attends ser- vices at the United Church: Sunday School classes will resume on Aug_ 2. WMS speaker explores new paths of ministry BELMORE —' "What kind of group efforts could this congregation undertake to improve the community? To help influence the future in .the direction of a more just and humane society?" These were two of the questions posed by Miss Lynne Longmuir, area education consultant for the Presbyterials of Bruce - Grey, Huron, Maitland, Sarnia and Stratford, when sheconducted a seminar on "Ministry" at the June meeting , of the Women's Missionary Society of Knox Presbyterian Church, Belmore. By teaching a new song and distributing' a list of possible congregational activities, she involved all the ladies attending from Bluevale, Gorrie, Teeswater and Belrnore-McIntosh in discovering new paths • of ministry for Christians today. Mrs. Elmer Jeffrey opened the meeting with a singsong of favorite gospel hymns. Mrs, Ken Dickson called the roll by societies and urged all to "open the windows of your heart and let God's grace' flow in". Mrs. Don MacAdam chose "The Faithful Ambassador" as the theme of the devotions, reading from the ,13th chapter of Proverbs and linking it to Paul's declaration that Christians are ambassadors for Christ in word and deed. Miss Longmuir was in- troduced by Mrs. Ken Dickson.and thanked by Mrs. Alvin' Mundell. The lunch committee served cake and ice cream during the fellowship hour which concluded a pleasant evening. VON program will expand in 1982 The board of management. for the Perth -Huron branch of the Victorian Order of Nurses, held its final meeting before the summer recess on June 23. The meeting was held in the board room of Huron - view in Clinton and was attended by members from both counties. Several topics were discussed and plans finalized to maintain optimal functioning of the branch during the summer months. Effective July 1, Jean Murdock of Goderich will act as senior nurse for Huron County. The office will soon be located on the second floor ,of the new addition at Huronview where the VON will be close to co-workers in the health care field. Mrs. Murdock's ap- pointment will bring the number of full-time nursing staff to 105, complemented by 13 relief staff,all headed by the the district director, Gwen Berry. Increased nursing staff has necessitated an increase in clerical staff to 15 'full- time and one casual secretary. The purchase of another car has also added to the financial burden. The group looks forward to a busy summer and beginning in September, will begiin planning for increased expansion of all staff as the local home care programs expand to provide chronic care in 1982. AREA RESIDENTS ENJOYED a ham and turkey supper last Wednesday eve- ning in the Whitechurch Hall. The meal was sponsored by the Whitechurch United Women. Access survey planned for county's disabled By Elaine Townshend An accessibility survey of public buildings and private business is being conducted in Huron County this sum mer to prepare a guidebook for disabled residents. The 11 -week Summer Canada project is sponsored by the Huron Day Centre for the Homebound, Clinton, in cooperation with' the Awareness League of Physically Handicapped Adults (Alpha Huron). Five students are in- volved, Lydia Schuurman, Clinton; Mary Peckitt, Clinton; and Mary Jane Scott, Brucefield (all graduates of Central Huron Secondary School); and Sherry Robinson of Bluevale (a graduate of F. E. Madill Secondary School, Wing - ham ; . Project manager is Stewart Huyck of Goderich, a third -year engineering stu- dent at the University of Western Ontario. The students are using facilities at the day centre as a base, with satellite offices in Exeter and Wingham. Disabled individuals are often "handicapped" by physical barriers they en- counter in the community, such as .curbs, steps, unus- able restrooms, narrow doorways and heavy doors. The purpose of the survey is to prepare an accessibility guidebook, a pocket -sized directory of the towns and villages in the county focusing on features of importance to mobility - impaired persons. The in- formation will allow disabled residents and tourists to plan their movements around the communities. Mr. Hayek explained access guides have been printed in cities and towns across Canada. Using these guidelines the local group will produce a directory of HuronCqunty that will come up to international guidelines. Letters . are being cir- culated to owners of bpMinesses and managers of public fa9ilities to introduce the proaeet and to ask for cooperation in arranging convenient times for brief surveys of buildings. The Summer Canada project grant will finance only the survey. Mr. Huyck will be contacting service clubs and other community groups in hopes they will fund the printing of the directory. The Access Guide of Huron County will be made avail- able to the public through town halls, libraries, in- formation centres, employ- ment centres, the Day Cen- tre for the Homebound and border points. New arthritis drugs are not miracle cures In the past few years, many new drugs for the treatment off arthritis have been put on the market. Unfortunately, with some of . these, the publicity generated has led people to believe that a breakthrough has happened and that the newest medicine is a "wonder drug". Many people are left with a false'' hope that a cure is available or that at least the pain and suffering caused by arthritis can be eliminated. That is really not true. Many of the new drug fall into the category «of being "non-steroidal anti-inflam- matory" drugs. Officers selected at annual By Rita Rice The • second annual meeting of the Wingham and Area Day Centre for the Homebound was held June 16. On the agenda was the chairman's report by Catherine Walsh, the ad- ministrator's and financial report by Rita Rice, the naming of auditors, a report from the nomination com- inittee by Janet Reid and the election of officers. The guest speaker was Doug Hayman, social ser- vices administrator from ,the London area office of the Ministry of Community and Social Services. The 1981-82 board of directors for the Wingham and Area Day Centre for the Homebound is: chairman, Janet d Reid, Wingham; treasurer, Bill Renwick, Wingham; secretary,. Ruth Thompson, Lucknow. The board members are: Marie deVos, RR 4, Wingham; Robert Gibson, Gorrie; Louise Marritt, RR 1, Wingham; George Taylor,, RR 1, Wingham; Catharine Rae, Wingham; Rev. Barry Passmore; Wingham; Jean Young, RR 5, Wingham; and, Harold Wild, appointed by the Wingham Council. To some people it may seem odd, but the truth is that the effectiveness of this type of drug is measured against the effectiveness of aspirin. Aspirin is an amazing medicine. In small doses, it can relieve minor pain, such as that caused by a headache. It can also, in those same doses, reduce fever. Since aspirin is so widely used to treat arthritis, the Arthritis Society has a pamphlet called The Truth About Arthritis. It is available free of charge by writing to: The Arthritis " Society, 920 Yonge St., Ste. 420, Toronto, M4W 3J7. Other free information about ar- thritis may be obtained by writing to the same address. When taken in larger doses, it almost becomes another medicine, because it -can actually reduce the inflammation of arthritis. Because it is so common and readily available, some people overlook the fact that it is a very potent tool in the management of arthritis. Many doctors saythat if. aspirin were to come on the market today, it would be available by prescription only. The main side-effect of aspirin is that it can cause stomach upset and gastric problems, although coated aspirin may relieve some of these side-effects. Another difficulty with aspirin is that it must be taken three or four times, daily in fairly high doses, since the body excretes it and to be effective the blood level of ,aspirin must be maintained. The advantages of some of the new drugs are that they may have reduced side- effects and they may have to be taken only once daily. Obviously this reduces the possibility of forgetting to takethe medicine. Mr. and Mrs. Jerry T. Barrett off Amherstburg visited with his mother, Mrs. Barrett, Scott Street, over the weekend. Visitors at the same home were her granddaughter, Mrs. Bruce Coghill, Mr. Coghill and their three daughters from Cambridge. • Family and close friends of Mr.., and Mrs. Geert Guillema, Victoria Street, Wingham, gathered to help celebrate the Guikemas' 50th wedding anniversary with supper at.the Ripley.Legion. A social evening followed the supper. The couple received congratulations and best wishes from all who at- tended. • Mrs. Rowland Ballagh and Lavonne, accompanied by Mrs. William Giles of Lambeth, attended a dinner held Saturday at ,Harriston in 'honor of the 50th wedding anniversary of Mr. and Mrs. Stanley Wolfe of that town.
