moving Australia and I could not leave the country without having my say regarding the Georgetown and District Branch of The Canadian Red Cross Society In the last nine yean I have been very Involved with this Branch and I have the highest regard for each and every volunteer I had the privilege to work with I shall never forget the friends I have made through Red Cross How Rev a minister could ever accuse a person like Dick a volunteer of making political hay 111 never Know If I could only tell everyone In Georgetown how badly Dick and the rest of the executive felt about discontinuing the Hamemaker Service I would I am aware of what It meant to the people who needed the service as know moat of them through working with the Victorian Order of Nurses Rev was definitely HALTON HILLS

Hal I Adults ISandunderlias preschoolers free mtnts far slnsts misinformed when he said Ontario Division Red Cross would fully finance the Home maker Service Ontario Division did say they would help out until the end of 1974 but a the local Banch had no supervisor nor Homeraaker It was felt It would be unfair to hire these people for such a short time Rev was also mistaken regarding the Ad Committee this Committee was set up at the same time as the Homemaker Service and Its duty was only to advise and make mentations to the Branch Executive It is Important that a man of Rev position In the community be sure of his facts before he writes such a letter to the newspaper and the com at large should demand a letter of apology from him Elaine Sales Immediate Past President Georgetown District Branch Canadian Red Cross Society New daytime courses offered special for women Reply to Rev Criticism always welcome but I find It necessary to write In reply to the letter of Rev published In your paper last week I write not in any vein although I was by the personal tone of the letter but rather In defence of the Executive of the local branch of Red Cross The letter contains a number of statements which are either not true or present an image which is not accurate The advisory body referred to in this letter was In fact set up when the service started in It was revived after a period of Inactivity by the present executive to try to moke the Homemaker Service more viable The function of Ihis was entirely advisory nature making Its feelings known to the Executive However rules and procedures including the hiring of the supervisor are in the of the Ontario Division of Red Cross At the meeting held in early June to determine what should happen to the Homemaker Service the Executive was faced with a situation in which there was no supervisor she had resigned and no home makers The local branch had advertised for a new supervisor but none of the applicants was found satisfactory for the position by the Ontario Division Homemaker Director The Executive unanimously decided to terminate the vice for the summer ths not for all time As for the presented by myself at hat meeting the chairman of the Service has stated that the facts were curate and complete she at tended all the meetings of the advisory body and of the Executive and should therefore be In a position to judge 3 The decision to discontinue the service taken In June was not made for financial reasons Ontario Division had stated that they would help the branch out financially but only until the end of the year At a meeting of the Executive held In September It was over decided that the service should not start operating again until there was solid foundation of financial assistance forthcoming to bear the strain of administrative expenses At no time was either Regional or Municipal Councils blamed for not providing a After all they should be the best position to know where their priorities lie If and when a grant becomes available from whatever source the local branch will only be too willing to restart this service I hope most sincerely that the letter of Rev will do nothing to negate the thousands of hours which arc put in each year by members of Red Cross In this area with no thought other than helping others In need Criticism Is always welcomed however Wis should be constructive In nature and entered Into when all attempts have been made to elicit the underlying facts Richard C Perrott President Georgetown District Branch Canadian Red Cross Society Pioneer days museum theme Pioneer Days Is the theme of a new museum project in the Credit Valley which will be developed by the Credit Valley Conservation Authority Foundation The Credit Valley Con Authority
