Kids Prove Entertaining
While they ,may not have provided the best
brand of hockey, two wee wee teams coached and
sponsored by the Clinton Kinsmen certainly provided
some of the best entertainment of the annual Minor
Hockey Day. The young .pucksters had their "ups
and downs", but they never quit trying and earned
the plaudits of the crowd.. In the top photo, Bobby
Andrews, left, and Clare Colquhoun, stars of the
Friday night game, receive their sticks from Sack
Clegg, a committee member. In the bottom photo,
Doug Fawcett, left, and Andrews receive sticks
from secretary Art Mountford for starring in the
Saturday afternoon game. The sticks were pro-
vided by Scruton's Fuels and Firestone.

"WA are deeply concerned

Clifford Dunbar of Grey, pre-
- senting the' report of Huron-
view 'board, 'The Home is run,

awaiting instructions as to a

fare and Health departments to.
study this problem,"
"M no time in the history of
Huronview, since I have been
there„" said superintendent
vey Johnston, '''have there been
so many people enquiring and
waiting to get in,"
Mrs. Bernard Henderson, of
Kincardine, addressed council
on the subject of a hospital-ap-
proved nursing home. She con-
ducted. one at Kin-Caroline until
about a year ago, and pointed
out that no privately adminis-
tered home could compete with
the per diem cost of $3.75 men-
tioned by Mr, Johnston.
About half the residents at
Huronview are paying, And Mrs.
Henderson said: "liven if you
had a nursing home in Gode-
rich, nobody would go there
when the Huronview rate is
$3.75,"
Mr, Johnston said, however,
that a nursing home in Gode-
rich, opening with 25 to 30
beds, would be filled, "as there
are so many requiring nursing
home care,"
Before Thursdays sitting
closed,, the nursing home theme
came an for debate as a possible
Centennial project on the county
level,
The warden's and perSOnnel •
committee had recommended.
county action without PTOPOS
ing a 'project,. and after long
discussion accepted A
motion by RpeVe. Elgin Themp-
son of TuckersmIth,, and deputy
reeve John Sutter of Clinton
that members take up the mat,
ter at their first loCal _council
meetings AN advise the _minty
clerk whether' they plan cen-
tennial projects of their own
or wish to. go in with something
at the county level, • Chairman
of the warden's and personnel
committee is Reeve Ivan Hask-
ins of Howiek.
(At t he last meeting of the
board of Alexandra Marine and
General Hospital here, chair-
man S. .Prevett said there was
an obvious need for a nursing
home in Goderich. The board
had been asked by provincial
authorities to reduce the num-
ber of beds for chronic pat-
ients.) ,
Reeve Donald McKenzie of
Ashfield pointed out that there
is to be a meeting in Clinton
soon, when representatives of
the Ontario Hospital Services
Commission will be coming 'to
this area, and he suggested that
more could be found out about
the nursing home project then.
The Huronview report carne
up at opening of Thursday af-
ternoon's sitting, and chairman
Dunbar said "our problems
continue to grow as' our resi-
dent total begins to get beyond
capactity. As regards chronic
patients, we are not equipped
to take care of them but when
there is no place else we have
to • take them."
Superintendent Johnston re-
ported 204 residents, 86 male
and 18 female, with a bed cap-
acity of 209. The number at
Huronview had almost doubled
since September, 1960, • when
there were 105. Costs had
greatly increased, froni $25,700
in 1944 for home and farm, to
$280,500 last year for the home
alone.
In the same period, seven em-
ployees had grown to 88, full-
time and part-Mime. Per diem
cost had risen from $2.50 in
1955 to $3.57 last year, but with
growing cast of food, supplies
and salaries 'this Was not too
bad.
Mrs.. Henderson was invited
by Warden Jewell to address
council at this point.
"I talked to Mr. Walz.ak at
the hospital," she said, "and I
have heard Mr. Johnston's re-
port and looked into real est-
ate prices and types of homes,
and after hearing that Huron-
view per diem of $3.75, I would
say there is the reason you
haven't a nursing home.
I understand you have been
trying to get a hospital-approv-
ed home, and if you had that
no doubt it would be easier, at
the rate the Hospital Commis-
sion pays. I owned a hospital-
approved nursing home until -a
year ago, and thought I wanted
a rest, but when I foun=d you
did not have a nursing home
here I thought I would look in-
to. it.
"You do need one 'badly.
However, a private institution
cannot compete art $3.75 a day,
and beSide that, you have
about 50 percent self-paying
residents at Huronview."
Warden Jewell: "Accommoda-
tion there is running out."
Mrs. Henderaon: "You would
have to work out something so.
that private patients could not
go to Huronview for that. Does
anyone know why a nursing
home has not opened up since
the one on North Street clos-
ed?"
Mr, Johnston: "I believe
there are only three beds in
HurOn nursing homes that are
not filled,"
Need More Money
Mrs, Henderson: "You would
have to have $5 or $6 a day if
you ran a. proper nursing home.

Mr, lianly; "We may have

sified. as a chronic patient. It
is border-line cases that are
the real problem."
Mrs. Henderson: "Patients of
definitely custodial type do not
need as much professional
carp." To Reeve Calvin Kraut-
er of Brussels she said: "There
are 40 or 50 approved nursing
homes in Ontario. We have
them in Bruce. They pay $6.50
a day for the patients they
approve, and that includes
drugs. If run properly, it can
be a profitable venture, so there
is no reason why somebody
