HomeMy WebLinkAboutThe Brussels Post, 1973-07-04, Page 11An amended agreement be- tween Huron County Council and the Victorian Order of Nurses, as suggested by the V.O.N, and recommended by the Social Ser- vices Committee, -received council approval. The new agree- ment covers nursing services purchased from that organization by the county. The amendment includes the new rate of $7.00 per visit, which had already been approved by council. It aslso provides for a thirteenth payment, or refund, each year when the actual cost per visit for any year is known, which is usually early the fol- lowing year. It was felt by the committee that the latter amendment should result in reduced deficits and therefore should reduce any un- subsidized grants required from the County in future years, In other business from the Social Services committee, County Council agreed not to concur with a reporution received from the County of Grey. The. resolution requested support for a move .to ask the Province of .Ontario, to contri- bute 50 per cent of all adminis- tration costs of social service departments rather than only salaries, staff! training and travel expenses. Huron was of the opinion how- ever that such an increased sub- sidy would only lead to more rigid controls .and loss of local autonomy. f. dichael eyMa Kevin Karen, rwood; arlane; Nigh, Y flak; , imaat; ton; Dale; Layson; ' migan; rwood; tephen radley 'Arm- Bruce Debbie nCar- rior; I rsey; nder; Paul usan Carol wen eggy font- nnie lane; le; nty- bert In scanning the Mitchell Advocate we note that Rev, John Scharrer informed the congregation that he has accepted a call to become pastor of peace Lutheran Church in Windsor. - - - Mrs. LilaStorey took her pupils to the Zurich Nursing Home on Thursday evening to entertain the; Senior Citizens there.

County *arks out VON -agreement Cigarettes and coal dust threat to lungs Inhaling coal dust is a threat to the lungs. So is cigarette smoking. 1 Miners are 'alarmed about their on-the-job hazards. And, new law's 1.'efe been passed which require 'tighter • regulations to protect miners at work. IMproved ventilation in mines and an increased use of, wet drilling should help cut down some of the occupational hazardS. And there are other steps miners themselves can take to protect their embattled lungs. One of these .steps is to stop i smoking. A recent study shows 1 that cigarette smoking among miners causes even more lung distress than the dusty air coal ,miners inhale at work. Coal miners are not allowed 1 to smoke at work. But studies have found that the average coal miner smokes just as many,cig, Jug is.themajor cause ef.chronic , arettes a sday as' the average lung diseases. To find out ways nonminer.

'••• to cigarette smoke is much more concentrated. In the study of 8,555 miners, the PHS team found that more than half of the smokers •had chronic bronchitis. For non- smokers, in contrast, the per- centage was cut in half; only 25 percent of the nonsmoking miners had bronchitis. For ex- smokers, the rate was reduced to 31 percent. Smoking damages the cilia, tiny broom-like structures that sweep germs and dirt out of the lungs. C ilia damaged by smoking cannot remove inhaled coal dust effectively, The combination of smoking and exi5osure to coal dust is a double) threat to the lungs. Miners can help protect their lungs by quitting smoking. So can everyone else.
