Dear Editor: I attended the Meeting of N.U.R.S.E. at the London Library Jan. 15/78, at which time the very restrictive and discriminating proposals for nursing employment were discuss­ ed. This proved to be a very informative meeting chaired by Mrs. Barb Dun­ das. At that meeting I observed that the member of the Council of the College of Nurses of Ontario who was present was very vague about many points in the proposal we received some 10 weeks ago with our registration renewals. There will be a meeting Jan. 29 at 2 p.m. in the S.H.R.C. with Mrs. Dundas as speaker. This should be of interest to working nurses, registered nursing assistants, as well as un­ employed nurses and all others interested in Health Care. Agnes Aunger, R.N. Ladies ... Don't Miss The Savings In Our Reduction SALE 3 DAYS ONLY This Thurs., Fri. & Sat. Ladies' . TENDER TOOTSIES O FOR $ 1 ONLY " All Fall and Winter Lines In Black, Dark Brown, Blue TIES AND SLIP-ONS Sir: I am writing to express my concerns about the “proposals related to Issuance of Certificates of Competence” as set down by the College of Nurses of On­ tario. The College has suggested that a Registered Nurse or a Registered Nursing Assis­ tant complete a “re-entry” program, to obtain a Cer­ tificate of Competence un­ less beginning in 1980 they have worked at least 50 days in one year any of the preceding 5 years. With the ever changing role of the nurse, I do not object to taking refresher courses, or even a man- ditory re-orientation program, on re-entry into the job market-place ... but please specify what you mean when you casually dis­ cuss revoking my Registra- tion, until I take an UNDEFINED re-entry program. If past history is any in­ dication of what respon­ sibility the College will take in the setting up and im­ plementation of these programs, with access to all who will be made to take them . .. yes, I respond with anxiety as to my future as a Registered Nurse in On­ tario. I have gone to the college with my questions and con­ cerns and was met with apathy. The College says “trust us!” I have to assume that the College, because of the con­ cern voiced, will attempt to make ammendments to the proposals ... but will they? Dee Beuerman R.N. of Dimes HonoraryACCEPTS CHEQUE — Ontario March < ' Campaign Chairman Darryl Sittier, accepts the first cheque from Rosemary Ward to kick-off the Ontario March of Dimes 1978 Campaign. Darryl urges everyone to join in and give generously. Ontario March of Dimes’ provincial chairman Darryl Sittier urges you to “get in the game” and help the March of Dimes to continue its many vital services to this province’s physically disabled men and women. “It takes teamwork to win,” says the popular Leaf Captain, “whether it’s a hockey game or a medical breakthrough. The Ontario March of Dimes needs you on their team to make sure disabled adults can live like other people.” Taking time out after practice at Toronto’s Maple Leaf Gardens, Darryl Sittier hands his cheque to Rosemary Ward, March of Dimes volunteer, officially kicking off the 1978 Cam­ paign. Canvassing in Exeter will be Monday, January 30 with Dorothy Pfaff the campaign director. Mrs. Pfaff expects to have about 40 marching mothers in action. The 1977 local canvass amounted to $1,537. Provincial target for 1978 has been set at $525,000.00, an increase of 15% over 1977. This figure does not in­ clude the 23 cities wherein the Ontario March of dimes is a member of the United Way. Over a million households throughout the province will be asked by mail to support the 1978 Campaign; in the neighborhood of 30,000 volunteers will conduct door-to-door canvasses in Central and Southwestern Ontario, in some Eastern communities, and in dozens of cities and towns throughout the North. The Ontario March of Dimes is often represented as being government fund­ ed, but only the sheltered workshops — called Ability Centres — are funded by the Ministry of Community and Social Services. Other than nominal grants for selected projects, the organization relies entirely on public sup- port to maintain its programmes: personal sup­ port, camping, recreation, research and travelling medical clinics among them. Another common mis­ conception is that the On­ tario March of Dimes is a children’s agency. Not true, although in reality disabled adults (aged 19 and over) are crippled children grown up. In this province children to age 19 are well cared for by the Ontario Society for Crippled Children and do not require March of Dimes’ services. Anyone with a disability and in need of assistance qualifies for Ontario March of Dimes help, although the agency will make every ef­ fort to recover monies ex­ pended from responsible government or other sources. Often an individual will not know how to go about getting the assistance to which he may be entitled; the Ontario March of Dimes will help him to cut through the red tape and acquire the aids or devices he needs. Cause of disability is irrelevant; March of Dimes’ services extend to those dis­ abled from any cause: birth defect, polio, heart attack, accident, old age. “Spending restraints by government are putting an added burden on us,” said Fund Raising director Esther Henning, “but we are confident that the public will respond as generously as they always have.” “After all,” said Miss Henning, “the public and the Ontario March of Dimes licked polio! And that’s teamwork! ” _________ ^Decorate your home with beautiful CUSTOM DRAPES Choose the fabrics and the styles you want and Barb Whiting will custom make your drapes for you.You can also choose matching bedspreads and pillow shams.
