Worsell argued that the county's two senior inspectors were "pretty well full time" on plumbing inspections now. The Goderich reeve also suggested that the inspections done in eating establishments would be better done by a plumber who would inspect the real germ source, the drains etc. rather than just taking a smear of the washed dishes. In the health budget submitted to council Wednesday, the board of health had explained that it had a "moral obligation" to engage an inspector who is presently taking a Public Health Inspection course at Ryerson sponsored by the Huron County Health Unit.. Jack Alexander, Wingham reeve said, "Moral obligation doesn't cut much ice with me. If we haven't got a job for hinr, if we don't need him, we have no moral obligation to find him a job." "As intelligent men, we should delay this program until our financial situation is improved," remarked Seaforth Deputy-Reeve Wilmer Cuthill. "The line must be drawn Somewhere," added Allan Campbell, McKillop. Reeve Derry Boyle, Exeter, reminded council that the number of eating establishments in Huron is increasing. Bayfield Reeve Ed. Oddleifson said that more building is going on and therefore, more inspections are needed. Seaforth Reeve John Flannery said that if the present tight money situation continues:: F as expected to do, thej -; tt'ainount*f of construction 'will'' drop sharply.

After two hours and a clause by clause investigation of the health budget, county council had trimmed an additional • $25,600 out of the budget including all the new program proposed for 1970 as well as Huron County Public School Grade 7 and 8 students will conduct a survey in the next week or ten days to determine the number of pre-school children in the county who will be attending Huron County Board of Education schools. The survey is to be taken in Farmer trying to combat , pollution , Farmers may be able to combat roadside lead pollution from cars, trucks and buses by fighting back with fertilizers, lime and soil organic matter. Scientists at the Canada Department of Agriculture have confirmed ' earlier research reports that exhaust from cars, trucks and buses is polluting roadside soils with an extra dose of lead, The specialists at the Soil Research Institute have also established that roadside plants absorb some of this lead, in some cases at levels which some apefts consider excessive, "Arid they hive 'dirtied that this plant uptake of lead can be reduced by: raising the soil pH to make it less acidic (by adding lime), adding phosphate to tie up the lead into harmless compounds the plants can't absorb, adding soil organic matter which also ties up the lead in unusable compounds. The experiments were con ducted by Dr. A. J. MacLean, Dr. R. L. Halstead and Dr. B. J. Finn of the Soil Research Institute. They sampled plants and soil from both the east and west sides of a highly-travelled Ottawa city street. , Both the plants and soil closer to the road had more lead. Other researchers have reported that lead concentration is highter in urban than in rural soil and plants . The report of the research is contained in a recent issue of the Canadian Journal of Soil Science. Another man's error may be your collision.

It should be noted that these salaries represent the costs for only part of a year and that if the program had been implemented, full year salaries would have shown up as an increase in next year's health budget. Also cut from the budget was a proposal to hire another public health inspector at $3,500 (again representing only a part-year salary; an estimated $1,100 travelling expenses for that inspector; $5,000 (part year) for a public health dentist; $4,500 (part year) for a dental hygienist; $300 travel expenses for this dental team; and $2,000 for dental equipment. conjunction with the school program of local community study., Students making the survey will work as individuals or in teams and will be assigned to a certain portion of a street in the town or concession in the townships. They will carry with them a survey sheet and parents will be requested to list the names and birthdates of all pre-school children in the household who will attend a school operated by the Huron County Board of Education. Superintendent of Education, James Coulter said it is hoped the children will benefit from their experience in dealing with the public and that they will have a better knowledge when they finish the survey of their own communities and the people who live in them. The information collected, said Coulter, will be useful in predicting future educational requirements for the area. He indicated there may also be other interesting statistics to be learned from the study such as the decline in the birthrate, the giowth in certain' areas` of the county etc. DRUG ADDICTION. .41110* tlaYter, reeve Of Stephen Township,' .asked Dr. ,Evans if one of the public ..health nurses. presently on staff in the county could not receive .a. special course .concerning the Problems of addiction, and provide a service to the county in this capacity until, funds would permit this phase of the work to become a full time position. Dr. Evans said the hoard of _health had attempted last year to send a nurse on course but had been unsuccessful because the course was full. PUBLIC HRAI-TI-I INSPECTORS Huron County public health inspectors came under close scrutiny at Wednesday's session. Noting that the budget called for the hiring of two additional public health inspectors, Stanley Deputy-Reeve Anson McKinley asked why the county board bad need of "tw.o more highly trained inspectors within a year." GERIATRIC NURSE Dr, G. P. A. Evans told county council members that a geriatric nurse working in Huron would counsel the elderly concerning diet, health, recreation etc., arrange for them a liaison with other agencies for which they had need and provide, in some cases, a vital link with- the outside world. . "There have been many examples in recent weeks that the value of such a person (geriatric nurse) would be more than amply justified," argued Dr. Evans. Reeve Harold Robinson of Howick said that with OHSIP and the county's home for the aged at Clinton, he could not agree that Huron County was neglecting its senior citizens. Dr. Evans reminded Robinson that elderly people should be assisted to remain in their own homes as long as possible, "Old age should be as pleasant and as free from worry as possible," Dr. Evans said. Charles Thomas, reeve of Grey, noted that the $4,000 item in the budget for a geriatric nurse didn't present a true picture of the costs. He said a full year salary would amount to,, at least $6,000 plus travellig,:, expenses. POITAI,P13.9,P.RAM Reeve Rob - :14.Yorlos- of Past Wawanosh told council that. if a public health ..dentist and dental hygienist Were hired in .the county, it would cost upwards -of $4,090 for a full year's Operation for this service alone. Tuckersmith Reeve Elgin Thompson concurred, "A dentist is far too expensive a man to go from school to school checking children's teeth when a public health nurse can do it,' said Thompson, 51$ this a full fledged dentist?" asked Anson McKinley. "Yes," replied Dr. Evans, "It just doesn't make sense," McKinley continued. "To me, it is out of the question. If he is qualified to set up practice, then we would be doing more for the people of Huron County by assisting him to set up a practice here," Dr, Evans suggested that the doctors who read TB chest Xrays are not considered to be out of the question just because they are qualified doctors, nor is the TB program considered a waste because only a very small percentage of the persons screened need medical attention for respiratory ailments. McKinley could see no similarity between the two, because he said, trained personnel are required to discover respiratory trouble while most anyone can identify a cavity in a tooth, Reeve R. B. Cousins said cavities were not the only problems discovered in a dental program. Cases of mal-alignment, for instance, are also caught in the early stages. "They'll tell you to see your dentist," stated Jack Alexander. "In our district - it take four months to get a dental appointment." "It makes more sense to attract more dentists to the county," says Roy Pattison, Reeve of West WaWanosh. "I think we should grow into this program gradually in view of the tight money situation," advised James Hayter. "Maybe the brush-in program is all we can do this year." 1970 BUDGET • The ,~budget.f r4.,ctplgaved,t by Huron County Council calls for $214,900 for employees salaries, fringe benefits,. travel .expenses and other related fees; equipment and Materials and supplies; rent and janitorial services; as well as other miscellaneous.expenses such as postage, bar* charges, subscriptions, advertising, staff entertainment, staff,education etc. AS well, the approved budget makes provision for one new public health inspector, John Kerwin, at a salary ,of $7,500 with travelling expenses of $1,800; a registered nurse for the brush-in program, $6,000; clerical staff for the brush-in program, $2,700; travel expenses for this department, $900; supplieS for the brush-in program (disposable toothbrushes, special fluoride paste 0;0 $2,400; fees for doctors assisting in clinics and at consultation periods in the high schools, $3,000 plus $200 travel expenses; $4,000 for legal fees in connection with the union negotiations; $2,000 for the sputum cytology program, a plan designed to test the common "spit" of heavy cigarette smokers to detect the presence of suspicious cells that could lead to cancer of the lung, while there is still time to cure it; and $4,296 for increased rents on offices in Wingham and Clinton and janitorial fees totalling $960 for the two sites, 11111111111111111111.11•11.11111101111101111111111111.0111111 WOOL Realize the highest returns for your wool by patronizing your own organization.
