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.

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

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. Cigarette smok-
