The Huron Expositor, 1970-09-24, Page 1SANAA; 0.9/4AA -.15 $0,00 4 Year ltA Advance; A comprehensive home care program- to serve Seaforth and area has been endorsed by the Seaforth Community Hospital. The Seaforth program is regard- ed as a pilot project and its success will be evaluated before being extended to other areas of the county. Introduction of the program• awaits endorsation of the Huron Health Unit and approval by the Department of Health. All costs in connection with the program will be borne by the department. The,. subject of a series of meetings across the county, the program was discussed in detail at a meeting in Seaforth of an exploratory committee and which • had been called by the committee chairman, Dr. Charles Wallace, of Zurich. The meeting attended by Huron County Medical Officer of Health, Dr.- G. P. A. Evans, of Goderich, decided to submit a proposal to the county ,health * department for approval before a draft plan is sent to the pro- vincial health department for final approval. Subsequently the proposal was endorsed by the Seaforth Community -Hospital Board. The program has government • approval, and if implemented would enable hospitals to dis- charge patients more quickly than at present. It would provide bed- side nursing and home maker service. The program would be closely co-ordinated with the work of the hospital and of area • doctors. The concept of a compre- hensive Home Care Programme, under the administrative control of the local health agency, will not only provide treatment ser- yice equivalent to hospital care for selected patients in their own, • homes, but should also provide, through the current health unit programmes, that variety of ser- vice and supervision of people in the community necessary for the proper maintenance of their health and independence. The "only new concept at the local 'I, level is the adnaleistration of a home treatment service for se- lected patients. Requirements. for Admission la elude: 1) The , patient must be under medical supervision of an at- tending physician. • 2) The patient's medical con- dition must be , such that he can be treated adequately at home with the services; avail- able through the Home Care Programme. 3) The patient's needs cannot be met on an out-patient basis.

Vice-chairman Bob Elliott termed the agreement which was settled finally with the Teachers' Federation as a "fair settlement for both sides". One of the' biggest changes, according to Elliott, , came in the definition of Category 3. In last year's 'contract, a teacher Was required to have all univer- sity courses to qualify for the increase. This year Department of Education courses will con- • itituteAualiffCations for a Cate- gory 3 rating. The basic salary scale has changed about $300 upWards,said Elliott. Teachers in Category One range 'from a salary of $5300 to $7100; Category 2 from $5700 to $8500; Category 3, $6200 to $10;200; Category 4, $7100 to $11,400; Category 5, $7400 to $12,000; Category 6, $8300 to -$13,700; and Category 7, $8800 to $14,700. Principals in elementary schools are paid according to their category placement on the salary scale. -In addition, they receive $200 per teacher under their jurisdiction, including this year part-time teachers which are pro-rated to no maximum. Vice-principals are paid ac- cording to their category place- ment on the salary scale plus $100 per teacher, pro-rated, ex- clusive of the principal and vice- principal to a maximum total salary of $14,500.

Payment for courses taken Seaforth Chamber of Com- merce on Wednesday honored Mrs. Bern Henderson at a din- ner dance in the Legion Hall. A former C. of C. president and member of Seaforth council,Mrs. Henderson recently• disposed of her interest in Seaforth Manor and moved to London. Alex Finnigan, C. of C. vice president, who chaired the meet- Jag, said Mrs. Henderson had come to Seaforth at the right time. The town and C. of C. benefited frpm her abilities. Mayor gills agreed. Every- one, he said, has a right, in fact a duty to give time to the community. Sorrie are more capable than others and thus more is required of them. This was the case with Mrs. Hender- son. "We need each other - we are 'not competing with fellow merchants but with ogler com- munities" Joe Wilkinson told the meeting as he reviewed Mrs. Henderson's contributions. While rain. • threatened throughout the day the weather co-operated 'reasonably well for Seaforth's 125th annual Fall Fair. Attendance was down slightly from last year according to sec- retary, treasurer Juries l(eys. Entries Were up in most depart- ments he' said. The fair was officially open- ' ed Thursday evening by Huron- Bruce M.P.P. Murray Gaunt. During the evening, a program featuring local talent was pre- sented before a large audience. The program was arranged by a committee headed by Donald Mc- Kercher. Judging was carried out Thursday afternoon of the indoor exhibits with Mrs. DonGlousher, Blyth, declared the senior home- maker "and Mrs. Chas. Johnston, 'Bl,vth, the junipr homemaker.

(Continued on Page 8) Nobody - banker or merchant can stand by himself, he said and added that it was up to the C. of C. to ensure that the community received the service it was en- titled to expect. "If we don't, we can look to the day 'when the small town may disappear" he said, adding it was less than half an hours drive to Stratford. Mr. Wilkinson and Mayor Sills presented Mrs. Henderson with' a desk , set and -Seaforth emblem.. In accepting the gift, ' Mrs. Henderson said how much she had 'enjoyed her years in Sea- forth. ,31 It is not a one way street" she said "if I have been able to contribute I also have gained through my associations here."

(See pages 9, 10 and 11) Students in Seaforth,and Mc- 1011op are to have ,,equal educ- ational, opportunities following a Huron County Board of Educ- tion decision Monday evening. The board approved construct- ion of an addition at Seaforth to accommodate all of the Sea- forth children and the students from' Grades 5 to 8 in McKillop and at Walton. At the same time, the four-room Walton school will become a junior echool for students from kinder- garten to Grade 4 from McKil- lop and Walton. Several board members, in- cluding Chairman John Levis, Clinton, said that rumors ;of the proposal had reached McKillop Township ratepayers prior to the meeting and there had been telephone calls voicing disap- proval of the plan even before the matter had been aired before the board. thought we had come as close to pleasing all the people in "McKillop as possible,” said viee:chairman Robert Elliott. The original addition sugges- ted .for the Seaforth , Public School had been for three new .classrooms and a library as well as -some storage space. When Mrs. Marilyn Kunder,Jehn Henderson and Donald McDonald as well as members of the board's administrative staff went to London, they received tentat- ive assurance the new addition could consist of an art room, a ,science room, a special education room, a libraty resource centre, an industrial arts shop,' a home economics room, change rooms with showers and storage spaee. It is thought that such an ad- dition, though larger than the one originally proposed, would be • financed 100 percent by the Ontario Department of Education if final approval is given in Toronto. It was learned that application had been made for this addition even before the board approved the proposal since the committee sent to London to meet with department officials had been given power to act and to get "the best possible for the students in McKillop". D. John Cochrane, director of education for the county, told the board that in order to justify the industrial arts shop and the home economics class at Seaforth Public School, the board had to show that the shops would be in use at least-80 percent of the time. .The board learned that' justification for the shops had been -proven through a plan to bring Grade '7 and 8 students from Hulled- Central. School near Londesboro and Huron Centen- nial School near Brucefield into Seaforth for weekly classes. ' ' "This has brought up a whole new ball, game," stated' board chairman John Levis. "I don't think we have ever discussed this' possibility before tonight." Vice-chairman Bob' Elliott asked if it was the board's inten- tion to provide industrial arts and home economics at the elementary level throughout the entire county. "Have we got French all through the county," asked trustee John Henderson. Elliott then suggested it might be wise to complete one program across the county before begin- ning another. "We can't stand still to wait for the have nots to catch up," observed Mr. Cochrane. "Per- sonally, I would like to see indus- trial arts and home economics, Donald McDonald termed the pilot project of industrial arts and home economics shops in Seaforth as an ?.opportunity to get started". Another Seaforth area trustee, John Broadfoot, said he had "very grave dOubts" about All Boys at Cavan, Girls- at Northside C' of C Honors Former President Children's Parade Is Fair Feature the worth of an industrial. arts and home ecenomics program. He said it had been tried 20 years ago and discontinued. • Mr. Broadfoot questioned the board on the matter of bussing the students from Londesboro and Brucefield to Seaforth. He won- dered at the wisdom of toeing about one hour bus time to gain one or two hours of industrial arts and home economics instruction. ."I have no doubt that the children would like it," observed Mr. Elliott. Some board members alio asked about the cost of bussing students two ways in McKillop, some to Walton and some to Seaforth. Jphn Henderson claimed it would “simplity" the bussing and make it ,cmore econ- omical". don't think it would cost any more thaz it does now," added Donald McDonald.
