What's new of
Huronview?
Last Thursday afternoon,
Bible study was held in the
chapel with Mrs. Milford
Prouty in charge. A medley
of hymns was sung and Mrs.
Prouty was accompanied by
Elsie Henderson at the
piano. The message was
taken from Romans and
called "More Than
Conquerors". It was given
by Mrs. Prouty.
The Easter bunny, along
with six little helpers, sur-
prised a number of residents
last Saturday afternoon
when they arrived at
Huronview to visit.
Residents gathered in the
activity room to greet the
guests for the event and a
happy one it was. Everyone
will remember Wendy
Mitton, a friend to all when
she worked at Huronview.
Six children from the
recently -opened group home
in Exeter came to visit with
us. There are seven special
people .living there, but one
had gone home for the
weekend. Wendy now is a
counsellor at the home,
along with three assistants,.
and she accompanied the
children here. Millie
Edwards, one of our
residents, had a real sur-
prise when she was able to
visit with her niece. Elsie
Henderson played the piano
and It was amazing how the
children responded to the
music. Residents chatted
with the little ones while
others held them. In fact, one
tiny fellow fell asleep as
Betty Scratch held him in
her arms.
Wendy explained some of
the diseases that crippled the
children. She said one could
talk a little, two were
somewhat mobile and the
others totally handicapped.
They all attend special
classes designed for them
and will absorb as much as
their minds will allow. These
are beautiful children and to
see the smiles on their tiny
faces, one could not help but
love everyone one of them.
Marie Flynn, with the
Huron Strings and guest
Hank Green from Exeter,
presented a program of old
time music. This is a popular
hour with the residents and
some of them were dancing
to the new craze, the Bird
Dance. The music session
with Bruce Cookson was held
Monday evening and we are
hoping that more residents
will join' in and make it
worthwhile.
Special care folk met for a
social hour in the activity
room Tuesday afternoon.
They enjoyed taking part in
the games and exercises to
music.. Coffee and cookies
were served.
We extend a warm
welcome to Mrs. Annie Ruth
Taman who has come to
reside at Huronview.

Fordwich Community Hall
GORRIE — "Poorly built
in the first place," the
Fordwich Community Hall is
in need of immediate
repairs, according to James
Robinson, president of the
Fordwich Hall Board.
Appearing before Howick
Township Council at its April
session, Mr. Robinson said
board members estimate it
will cost between $1,000 and
$1,500 for "general patch-
work" including repairs to
the roof of the building and
the chimney.
"A patch -up might be good
enough for this year," said
Mr. Robinson, a former
member of council, "but in a
few years the hall is going to
need a lot of work."
"A conservative estimate"
of what it could cost to repair
the building properly is
$20,000, he said.
While council gave Mr.
Robinson a sympathetic
hearing, it advised him to try
to obtain a New Horizon
grant and encourage local
donations to finance the
repairs.
New Horizon grants are
provided by the province for
senior citizen projects. The
Fordwich Hall is utilized
extensively by senior
citizens as well as Women's
Institute groups and is in
frequent demand for com-
munity events.
The hall also houses a
• library and has a pool room
in the basement which is
used mainly by older people.
"It's such an active little
place we'd hate to lose it,"
Mr. R.obinsi n said.
Council agreed with him
but pointed Fut residents of
the Village of Wroxeter had
made improvements to
public buildings, "pretty
much on their own".
"It isn't that we're trying
to discourage you," Deputy
Reeve Jack Stafford said.
"We just want to see some""
initiative."
"I understand," Mr.
Robinson replied:
"See what you can do,"
Reeve William Newton
advised. "There might be
some money available from
the pool room fund, some
people might like to donate
something -- then if you find
you're a bit short, come back
to council and I'd think you
would get a sympathetic
hearing."
Mr. Robinson said the hall
board presently has about
$500 in its account. However
when it comes to repairing
the building, "We don't know
where to start and stop.",
When a councillor .
questioned his estimate of
$20,000 as being "a bit
much,", Mr. Robinson
replied, "Not really."
He said hall board
members who looked at the
A BLOOD DONOR CLINIC was held last Thursday afternoon at the F. E. Madill
Secondary School for students°and interested members of the community. Violet
Vermeltfoort, a blood donor clinic assistant, kept a watchful eye on donor Roy
Jacobs, a Grade 12 student at the school.
building figure it will cost
$5,000 for trusses for the roof
alone. "Then when you
figure tiro by four strapping
and steel or aluminum siding
it soon adds up."
• Coun. Gerald D'Arcey who
lives in Fordwich agreed
with Mr. Robinson.
"It's in bad shape," he
said. "It's a good thing we
didn't have much snow this
year. I personally wouldn't
want to shovel it off that roof
— it might not take the extra
weight. It doesn't look so bad
until you get up close to it."
Over the years the hall has
been struck on a number of
occasions by vehicles at-
tempting to turn the corner
at the hall and cross the
bridge to proceed on County
Road 30.
Besides being "poorly
built", many people consider
the building to be poorly
located.
"It's a drop-in and a drive-
in centre," Deputy Reeve
Stafford commented.
Cemetery
While he was at the
session, Mr. Robinson said,
he would request assistance
from council for repairs to
the old Presbyterian
cemetery in the village.
Council, he said, hadn't
given the cemetery a grant
last year because there were
sufficient funds for grass
cutting. This year however
the cemetery board would
like to repair some of the
stones.
"We have about $300 to
spend and we thought if
council could give us another
$300 we could do that much
more," Mr. Robinson said.
The reeve agreed council
hadn't given any money for
the cemetery last year
because it was understood
the interest from a $3,000
grant would take care of the
grass cutting.
"1 don't expect you to deal
with it tonight," Mr.
Robinson said. "But now I'm
here, i thought I'd mention it
to you."
Again Reeve Newton
advised Mr. Robinson that
council would probably give
the request for cemetery
funds "a listening ear".
In another matter having
to do with the Village of
Fordwich, council reorgan-
ized the Fordwich Park
Board into the Fordwich
Community Park Associa-
1.ion.
The reorganization was
recommended by the Ford-
wich Park Board which
pointed out to council that
much of the work of the park
hoard and the Fordwich
Businessmen's Association
was a duplication.
The neworganization will,,
consolidate the tWo groups.
The Fordwich park in-
cludes a playing field and a
tennis court.
