In other business at the meeting Kopas,

the history of the
hospital .and spoke of the
need to keep hospitals under community
control and out of thegrips of the provincial
government. He noted a recent trend
toward
government intervention in the.
operationof hospitals, saying •this . must be
monitored closely and people should be pre-
pared to take a stand.
Norman Hayes, in his executive director's'
report, said the hospital must establish and
maintain a continuing dialogue with the.l

campaign for funds has been very good, and
said people are starting to get the message
that government funding does not cover all
of a hospital's costs. Hospitals must depend
increasingly: on public donations . if they are
to expand and improve their services.

stablish moral education program
'nice secondary schools
By Janet Miller
The second phase of Moral Values
Education (MVE) for Bruce County schools
is underway. Successful : implementation of
MVE in the elementary schools of the
County has encouraged the. Bruce County
Board of Education to proceed with plans for
a similar program at the secondary; level. A
decision made at the April meeting of the
Board has set the wheels inmotion for
introduction of MVE in the County High
Schools. September 1982 is the projected

Jack Kopas,. Hayes and Baxter. She said the
matter was never brought to the board, and
in fact most board members were not aware
. they had gone.
Kopas explained the board chairman and
top administrators traditionally have attend-
ed this convention, held annually at -different
locations in Canada; other. board members
are invited to attend the Ontario Hospital
Association convention held° in .Toronto.
Elmslie proposed that any trip of thistype
costing more than $750 per person,should be
brought to the board first for approval.
Hayes objected that such a policy could
make it difficult for him to send staff
members away on educational courses on
short notice.
Elmslie later explained her reason for
raising the matter is a concern that the board
lacks adequate control over expense :account
V .
spending. However she and other .board
members were unable to arrive at the
wording of a policy which would accomplish
what they wanted without interfering with
normal administrative decisions.
In the end the matter was referred to the
finance committee for review and recom-
mendations.
Near the end of the lengthy debate, board
member, Frank MacKenzie expressed con-
cern that the discussion might be reported
and lead to bad publicity for the. hospital.
"Couldn't we have done this in secret?" he
inquired.
Dr. McKim responded that MacKenzie's
concern was unfounded, pointing out the
board was elected to look after the hospital's
money and there is nothing wrong with th'
public knowing it is doing its job.

date for commencement of the program
across the County.
As at the elementary level, the education-
al design will be two-pronged to include
religious exercises at the beginning of the
school day and moral values education fused
with the existing curriculum. 'A.J.V. Leeder,
recently elected president of the Ontario
Moral Values Education .Association and
principal of Wiarton Public -School has been
given temporary leave of absenceto act as
MVE Consultant during development of the
program. Leeder's experience as consultant
in the preparation of MVE now integrated in
the ele entary system as well as his wide
knowledge of MVE. designs throughout the
province suggests: he is well-suited to , this
role.
A steering committee comprised of Board
supervisory staff and teachers from. tbe.
various curriculum . divisions hasbeen
selected to work with Leeder. The task of
this committee is to integrate moral values
education with secondary school courses and
to prepare supplementary materials where
necessary. Theinitial step of determining
aims and objectives consistent with Ministry
of Education guidelines has already been
taken. Recognition of the pluralistic nature
of our schools is apparent in the aims of the
program which spell out the necessity to
determine ways in which the needs of
Children of all races, .cultures, religions and
: ethical systems may be embraced.
The basic motivation for the program is
respect for the worth of every person and an
awareness that values are implicit in the
education. process. Leeder points out • that
within thic context opportunity is present to
promote respect for the past, to appreciate
diversity, to encourage responsibility toward
others and to the environment and to instill a
sense of self-worth in our youth.
The Resource Committee which was a
sounding board for the Board Values and
Morals Committees during preparation of
MVE for elementary schools has been
reactivated and met with, the Values and
Morals Committee in May. The committee
consists of six clergymen, six parents and
six grade 13 high school students from Bruce
County. The role of Resource Committee is
to be a communication 'arm of the MVE
program. Specifically, the committee is
expected to keep abreat of public reaction to
MVE at the secondary level and to interpret
public opinion to the Board. It will ' also
monitor the program as it develops.
Public meetings will be held throughout
the County in the : fall of the year to
determine the response of the citizens . of
Bruce to the proposed plan for MVE, and to
elicit feedback from the public sector.
