Much later, about 25 centuries ago, the first medical book was written in China which included many details of the praCtice of acupuncture, which was already ancient at that time, Acupuncture in Canada is not a recent discovery, It has always been practised in Chinese communities. However, in the last few years, Western physicians have been looking at the possible benefits of this type of treatment, and many have visited China for actual demonstrations of acupuncture. Because this type of treatment is relatively new in Ontario, there was no legislation covering the practice of acupuncturists operating in this Province. As a result some"quackupuncturists" set up shop and took advantage of unsuspecting patients who were not relieved of their problems and were still charged high fees for service. Up to now anyone could open an office and insert needles into people regardless of whether he or she had any training in acupuncture. This was a potentially dangerous situation for several reasons. First of all, not all acupuncturists were following basic rules of hygiene. The Toronto Globe and Mail published a story about a Hamilton acupuncturists who was inserting needles through nylon stockings. If conditions are not completely sterile, there is a very real danger of infection, Another danger of acupuncture at the hands of someone who has not received the proper training is that the. needle could ac- cidently puncture a vital organ, Another concern is the possibility that acupuncture might be used before expert medical diagnosis has been ob- tained. Without such diagnosis proper medical care could be delayed and serious con- sequences to the individual could result. Last June the Government took the first step toward controlling the practice of acupuncture in Ontario. Health Minister Frank Miller stated Ryas a medical act and could only be performed by a non-medical person on referral in writing by a physician, thus ensuring that a diagnosis has been established. At that time he announced three research grants totalling $75,000 to assist in establishing the role of acupuncture in the delivery of health care. Unfortunately, the Minister's directive in June did not do very much to prevent the continuing operation of the storefront acupuncturists he wanted to control. Many of these people continued to see patients without the written referral of a physician. It became very rob- vious that more stringent con- trols were needed. In July, Ontario acupuncurists formed an Association with Hubert Lam as president. The Association stated that it felt acupuncturists should all be licensed and disciplined by a separate Board. This precipitated a struggle between the medical and non-medical acupuncturists because Ontario doctors wanted to limit the practice of acupuncture to licenced physicians. The Acupuncture Foundation which was composed of medical doc- tors, urged physicians not to refer their patients to lay acupuncturists. At last on January 8 the Health Minister came out with his long awaited statement on the status of acupuncture in this Province. He said that the practice of acupuncture will be restricted to physicians, dentists and specially trained lay acupuncturists who have passed an examination and are working under the super- vision of a physician. This will put most of Ontario's acupunc- ture clinics, estimated to number about 100, out of business, as Mr. Miller estimated only about 12 to 15 non-medical acupuncturists will be able to pass the examination. Lay acupuncturists will be required to submit to a training course and special examination to be administered by the College of Physicans and Surgeons. Although it is regarded as a medical act, acupuncture will not be covered by OHIP. However, a scale of approved rates will be drawn up by the Ontario Medical Association, At the present time people are paying anywhere from $10 to $35 per treatment. Hopefully the new Government regulations will eliminate Ontario's unwanted quackuplincturistsIby controlling who may or—may not practice this ancient Chinese technique. By MISS ELLA MORLOCK UCW The January meeting of the UCW was held Thursday evening in the Sunday School auditorium of Zion United Church. Mrs. Lorne Preszcator, Mrs, Russell Finkbeiner, Mrs: Gordon Finkbeiner and Mrs. Earl Neil led the program, the theme of which was "The Art of Living." The table was decorated with lighted candles and a plate bearing the words "God Bless Our Home," Mrs. Gordon Fink- beiner accompanied the singing of hymns. Mrs. Preszcator and Mrs. Finkbeiner sang, ac- companied by Mrs. Russell Fink- beiner. The subtle influence upon the occupants of everyone and everything in the home, even the furnishings, was discussed, Mrs. Preszcator read an ac- count of the JEM Farm (Japan Evangelical Misson) in Alberta, a farm that turns its profit into missionary enterprise. One of the farm operators, Eldon Dick, is a relative of Joe Woodall and William Sweet. Mrs. Preszcator closed the program by reading a poem,"The Junkman". As we threw out old clothes at his call, so let us discard old woes at the call of the New Year. The president, Mrs. Cliff Russell, opened the business session with prayer and a look, toward 1975, Roll' Call was an- swered by the payment of dues. Officers and conveners gave their reports for 1974. Hostesses were Mrs, Donna Bushfield, Mrs. Gordon Ratz, Mrs. Cliff Russell.

Mr. & Mrs. Oscar Pfaff have returned from a visit of several weeks with Mr. & Mrs. Willard Berge and family of Moosejaw, Saskatchewan. The weather was mild during their stay, with bright sunshine and tem- peratures in the thirties. The Pfaffs, accompanied by Mr. & Mrs. Jim Pfaff and their family, made the trip by plane, Laura Mathers received word of the sudden death of her niece, Mrs. Lloyd McClarty, of Marine City, Michigan, She accompanied Mr. & Mrs. David McClarty to Michigan for the funeral.

UCW meets at Kirkton By MRS. HAROLD DAVIS KIRKTON The January meeting of the UCW was held in the church basement beginning with a pot- luck dinner. Approximately thirty ladies attended. The meeting opened with a tape of the 50th anniversary of the UCW. Mrs. Norman Amos conducted the business. All reports were read and adopted. Meeting closed with benediction. WI The Kirkton Women's Institute held a short course at the Kirkton-Woodham Community Centre "Baked in a Pie" with Mrs. George Burgin and Mrs, Betty Lamond as leaders.

All her family were home for the occasion, Mr. & Mrs. Larry Bickell are holidaying in Florida. The Senior Citizens enjoyed their first Senior Citizens Euchre at the Kirkton and Woodham Community Centre, Tuesday afternoon, Why do some men look for home atmosphere in a hotel and hotel service in a home? Some qUestion has arisen as to why acupuncture will not be covered by .otfuo since the College of Physicians and, Surgeons has accepted it as a medical modality, I think the answer to this is that not all medical procedures are fully covered by OHIP. For example chiropractic treatments are only covered up to. a maximum of $100 a year, and psychotherapy done by psychologists is not covered at all. The Minister of Health has stated that it is not inconceivable that some day acupuncture will be covered by OHIP. However, the task at hand is to determine the real medical benefits of this type of treatment which although ancient is not completely un-. derstood. MT.
