County, Board C!e$'s Expenditures
chgol, Budget Up ro
- • Xf • At a special meeting- April
23, the Huron. County Board of
Education approved the edilea-
tion budget for 1970 as presen-
ted by the business administra-
tor, Roy B. Dunlop.
The budget details were 're-
leased by Mr. Dunlop on Tuesday
afternoon. To the county, as a
whole, this will mean ab increase
in municipal taxe's of $174,496.
or 6.5 per cent over than re-
quested in 1969.
Although the county board
produced a net over-levy in 1969
of $45,777 or .5 per cent of
actual expenses, some munici-
palities will be faced with in-
creases in excess of that men-
tioned above.
This is because of two main
influences, the absorption of
under-levies realized in 1969,
and the effects of decreased 1969
provincial • equalizing factors
which increase-the relative vo-
lume of assessments used as
the basis for apportionment
within the county.
Net expenses for the county
__system will increase by
$1,359,944 or 15.3 per cent over
1969 with the elementary sys-
tem up $733,390 and the secon-
dary system up $626,554 from
$3,993,041 and $4,061,53'7 res-
pectively.
Provincial assistance
form of general legislative grants
and subsidies. will increase by
$1,165.722 or 21.5 per cent,
raising provincial assistance to
$6,564,245 or 69.4 per gent of
net expenses* from 67.5 per cent
in 1969.
Mr. Dunlap said the main
reason for the increSe,,,,f9r
school purposes was teachers'
salaries.
The effect which the rate
will have on individual munici-
palities will not be known until
advice concerning the equalized
assessment on which the rate
is based is received from the
County Bpard.
Business has been brisk this week as members of the Womens Hospital Auxiliary staffed
the annual penny 'sale which this year is taking place-in Mel's T.V., the former Gingerich
store. The large collection of prizes which area business places have donated is attracting
a steady flow of customers anxious to help the auxiliary in it's work. Here Mrs. W. H.
• Brown (centre) and' Mrs. D. I. Stewart of Harpurhey are completing a sale of tickets to Mrs.
Bob Watson of Seaforth. Draws for the prizes take place Friday evening. (Staff photo)

be changed. One fault he found
was in letting hospital efficiency a
take precedence over human life.
He said we' are living in a world
whibh is depersonalized - where
the individual is not thought tobe
the primary consideration.
'This is one of the major
protests of our young people and
I am inclined to agree,with them",
said Mr. Scott. "Mechanical
achievement is considered more ••
highly than humanachievement."
Mr. Scott reported inone hos-
pital he visited recently over half
the patients were over ,75. He felt
more emphasis should be placed
on keeping the next generation r--
alive rather than adding a few
more weeks or months to the life •
of people over '75. He challenged
the volunteer workers to ask for
"enlightened changes before it
is too late." "You are the opinion
makers", he said.
M. Scott was concerned that
we are spending more money
telling people not to smoke ciga-
rettes than in preventing air
pollution. "Let us learn what our

of the Chamber of Commerce

a committee to be in charge
of over all arrangements was
named.

At the best of times, an en-
forced stay in hospital is not a
• happy event. No matter hbw ex..
tensive and complete the hos-
pital facilities may be, there
inevitably is a concern because
for many it is a new and strange
experience. •
So that both patients and their
visitors may be more informed
• and thus prepared for their hos-
pital experiences, Seaforth Com-
munity Hospital recently made
available a small folder detailing
'the hospital facilities, what hap-
pens, what is expected of pa-
tient and visitors alike.
"We welcome you to onr Hos-
e pital and trust that you will re-
ceive sympathetic and under-
standing care from all our staff,"
the folder begine and,goes on to
talk about admission.

The meeting explored the pos-
sibility of establishing a physio-
therapy department and named
D.I.Stewart, Ralph McNichol and
Cliff Dunbar to investigate in
detail and make recommendat-
ions.
The matter arose when ad-
ministration Gordon—McKenzie
said lie had been approached by
the physiotherapist at Clinton
suggesting an extension of the
service to Seaforth. One of the
diffibuities would be in provid-
ing etifficient space for such a
department.
Mr. McKenzie said planning
introchiction of the metric system
into the hospital was moving
ahead. Certain changes • in
scale equipment would become
necessary when the changeover
is made, he said. P
With the appointment' of an
additional pathologist in Strat-
ford a change in the arrangement
with Seaforth has been suggested.
It is proposed that a contract
would provide for 12-visits per
year 'to attend medical staff or
board meetings or for autopsies
at an annual cost of $1200.
Admissions during , the first
three months this year had in
ten to 371 but 'patient
days were down from 3410 to 3048.
Mrs. McConnell reporting for
the public relations committee
said the annual board-dinner was
planned for , May 26. The com-
mittee was considering- the ob-
servance of Hospital Day on

Reporting for the property
committee, J.M.SCott said work
had been carried out on tiles
in certain bathrooms where tile
had become loose. The staff
was. recaulking, some windows
and would carry out repairs to
the parking lot and pavement.
The committee had agreed with
a proposal that a member of the
maintenance staff Ed. Boyes be
employed to cut grass at $30
per cutting, at times other than
when he is on duty at the
