Speaking to Outer Cape and Mid-Cape Homemakers, Dr. Samuel Klauher, radiologist anu general practitioner who has served the Cape tip for the past three years expressed gratification that Homemaker Service lias come to Cape Cod, and the expectation that the new agency will grow quickly in view of the great need here.
The occasion was the Cape Cod Homemaker Service June Jamboree held at the home of Mrs. Elizabeth F. Cole, Outer Cape Superviser for the new service.
It was brought out by Executive Director Harriet Cameron in her formal report that two clients nearlng age 100 are able to remain in their homes because of the part time assistance of a trained Homemaker.
Children of several families have been enabled to stay together ln their own homes, despite the illness or absence of their mothers, through the daily help of Homemaker Service.
Dr. Klauber stressed the need for Homemaker Service everywhere to cut down length of stay in hospitals, to avoid institutional care where it is not absolutely necessary, and to provide standins for 111 or recuperating mothers.
He said, "We live in a time when life span has increased, and we cannot house the entire elderly population in nursing homes."
Mrs. Cameron praised the Homemakers who have been working on difficult cases, and meeting with calm many unfamiliar problems.
Mrs. Cameron said,
"My files are filling up these days with letters in praise of individual Homemakers, and in appreciation of the new a^-ncy's work on the Cape".
