T-A photo New area health council favored by Bayfield reeve By MRS. HAROLD DAVIS KIRKTON Shelly Fletcher was hostess of the seventh meeting on March 29 of the Meater Maids. Roll Call was a recipe of fish we use at home. Mrs. Paynter gave a lesson on fish. There are more varieties of fish than there are meats and fish is more economical. The redder the flesh the more expensive the salmon is, But, this doesn't change the nutritional value, When buying fresh fish you should pick one with shiny, bright skin, tightly clinging scales, bright red gills, clear full eyes, firm elastic flesh and a mild characteristic odor. Avoid fresh fish that smells fishy. When buying frozen fish pick a package that is solidly frozen in good condition. A thick layer of frost on the inside of transparent wrappers is evidence of long storage or poor condition or both, Mrs. Urquhart gave a short lesson on souffles. Terry Wilcox gave a lesson on how to poach fish in court Bouillon. Shirley Freer told how to make chipper Fillets and had a sample to show us. Cathy Ecker ex- plained how to make Salmon Souffe and had a sample for the girls to taste.

For general township purposes the rate is up to 24 mills from 20 on all farm and residential property and 28 from 24 on commercial and business. In compliance with the Board Catholic Separate School Board; primary, 38 (35) mills, farm and residential and 43 (40) mills commercial.

Huron and Perth counties will be "lumped in" with an existing district health council unless they form one of their own, Bayfield Reeve Ed Oddleifson told a public meeting Wednesday in Kirkton. "That's really an axe over our heads. If we say no, we'll even- tually be lumped into some place." Oddleifson told the meeting of about 25 residents of Perth and Huron that he has served for two years on a steering committee studying the possibility of a district health council and is convinced one should be formed. Wednesday's meeting was the final public meeting before the steering committee makes a recommendation to the ministry within the next three months, he said. The steering committee will study briefs and opinions sub- mitted by residents of the two counties before reaching a decision, Oddleifson said. However, he pointed out, it appears the two counties will have a district health council of some form because 18 councils are already operating across the province and the ministry of health wants all areas represented. Tough decisions will have to be made if health costs are to be maintained at the present level and only local input can assure fairness in these decisions, said Dr. Frank Mills, Huron County medical officer of health. A district health council would plan local needs under provincial guidelines and take a "sane and reasonable approach" to avoid duplication of services. No new health program would be approved by the ministry of health without the prior approval of a district health council, he said. "The province has stated pretty definitely "if the district health council doesn't approve it, forget it.' " At some future point, a district health council would control all health spending in its area, Mills predicted. "That's probably the most frightening thing to a lot of people." But he stressed that the council would be composed of elected local residents. Stratford General Hospital board chairman Alastair MacLeod wasn't ready to buy those arguments, "I'm not convinced by any stretch of the imagination that district health councils are a good thing. I'm very skeptical of the whole thing. It was not govern- ment that built any of these hospitals in Ontario, it was the people themselves." A district health council would very definitely be another level of bureaucracy which would serve as a delaying tactic for the ministry of health and act as a barrier between the provincial government and local residents, McLeod said, "I don't believe we have any duplication at all," he said. It's no problem to drive 20 miles to another municipality if the local hospital doesn't have the specialized services required, he said. Stratford General Hospital serves patients from as far away as Owen Sound, McLeod said, and already believes it serves both Huron and Perth counties. Services are already co- ordinated and needs assessed by local people serving on hospital Palm Sunday was observed in Lucan United Church, with Rev. Charles Scott using the lilies, mums and the Palm Sunday pulpit drape to tell his story to the children. The first lesson was read by Alex Marcus, the second by Carl Jones and the beautiful Choral Meditation by the choir was one for Palm Sunday "Hosanna to the Lord of Hosts". Jeannie Jones sang a lovely solo "All in_ the April Evening". Marjorie Park, secretaryof the M. & S. Committee gave the monthly "Minute Talk" listing the nine unit projects accepted by the committee on behalf of the congregation and giving advance notice of the Woodburn Family Singers at the Church on Wed- nesday, April 27 commencing at 7:30 p.m. Some local talent will also be included in the program. A free will offering will go to assist in helping to teach the world's hungry to feed themselves, a project of the recent 10 days for World Development. The potted mums in the Sanc- tuary were from the funeral of Mrs. Charles Coward, mother of Mrs. Don Smith and the sym- pathy of the congregation is ex- tended to the family. Members and friends are in- vited to an informal Good Friday Evening presentation on video- tape in the General Assembly Room at 7:30 p.m. The Sacrament of Baptism will be observed next Sunday and parents who have not yet been in touch with Mr. Scott are asked to call him at 455-5110 or 455-5733. Members and friends are reminded of the bake sale boards, said McLeod. "Once they've (district health councils) got financial control, you can say goodbye to all your hospital boards." Construction is to begin soon on a psychiatric unit at Stratford General Hospital. A district health council would have delayed that construction start another year while the project was considered by an additional committee, McLeod suggested. Saturday at the Masonic Hall from 11 to 12 a.m. All con- tributions gratefully accepted. Easter Sunday Mr. Scott in- vites all members and friends to fill the church on this most sacred of days. Lucan church news Unit Meeting The postponed Evening Unit meeting was held on Tuesday eveping at the Lucan United Church, with leader Bernice Lockyer welcoming the members and giving the opening poem "A laugh is just like music". With Marjorie Park at the piano the group sang their theme hymn "Just a Closer Walk With Thee" and Agnes Hotson led in Worship using the Easter theme "The Meaning of the Cross". Members were appointed to take part in the Easter Playlet for the General Meeting on Tuesday, April 12th at 8 p.m. Iola Goring will give the introduction, Marjorie Park will be the in- terviewer and Freeda Melanson will take the part of Peter. All women of the congregation are urged to attend this Easter Thank' offering meeting. Arrangements were completed for the May meeting of the Unit, with Bernice Lockyer leading in worship and Bible Study continued by Freeda Melanson. The Mission Study Packet "People and Systems" was taken by Iva Hodgins completing the portion on Health Care in Tan- zania and China. Members decided we should complete the study, in the Fall, rather than starting the new packet, and not being able to finish it either. Refreshments were served by Iola Goring and Iva Hodgins.
