County Health units to join Bruce County council has meed toad a three-year-old cost sharing arrangement between the Grey -Owen Sound and Bruce health units. Cost sharing began when it became dif- ficult and expensive to find a Medical Of- fice of Health (MOH) and Director of Nur- sing. The arrangement has worked well, according to Paul Eagleson, Bruce health unit committee chairman But the pro- vince considered it a trial marriage and pushed for the two boards to amalgamate or go their separate ways. Cost made the choice clear—amalgamation will save money. "Right now it's a minimum of $25,000 .,county dollars and that's without .expan- sion,`" expan- sion,' `Eagleson said. "When we expand our care programs .and replace the doctor (MOH Dr. W.P. MacPherson), it will be more." He said there were fears that Bruce County could lose some autonomy because of the combined board that amalgamation will bring. But he said the plan does have its advantages. "It's going to be more efficient for the doctor. He, ode us to deal with one board and on, 'Iudget. Now he spends a lot of fir -'tri two.' Long range savings _on staff are _also predicted. Figures presented to county last Tuesday show that with all mandatory programs in place, the Grey -Owen Sound and Bruce boards would have to hire a total of 15 staff over the next few years. With an amalgamated board, that can share staff and pool resources, only eight new staff will have to be hired over the same period. Eagleson added that no layoffs and no public health office closings are an- ticipated with amalgamation. It is ex- pected the new board's main office will be in Owen Sound, with a secondary office in Walkerton. If the plan is approved by Owen Sound and Grey .County councils; Bruce employees could benefit from catch-up pay as their salaries are raised to match their counterparts in Grey. Eagleson said a draft amalgamation is already prepared and ready for "fine tun- ing" by the two boards. If all goes well, the new board could be in operation by spring. MOH Dr. W.P. MacPherson has agreed to delay, his retirement in order to see the boards through the amalgamation process. REMEMBRANCE DAY BY SHELLY JOHNSTON GRADE 4. LCPS Remembra -e Day is a day to remember whF soldiers did, fighting for our fret In the worlu Laere .are three places people laugh,.. Soldiers fought on land where they shot and threw explosives. In water they shot missiles, and blew up many war ships. There was also the air force men who dropped bombs from airplanes. World War started in Austria, Hungary in 1914 and ended in 1918. During the war lots 4f people were held hostage at prisoner camps. Many starved to death. Somme they gave a hostage some food like rice and ,dirt and .a bit of water. Very seldom did they let the prisoner go. When the *gars were on, many People were told ,to go to The war and fight. Sometimes when the man went to war he wouldn't come back for a long time. Many people didn't even come back; they died fighting. In U.S.S.R. and in some parts of China, the government tells you what to do. Some childrenaren't allowed to go to School and don't have the chance to learn. In Canada we have a choice. When the wars were over, many people were buried in Flanders Fields in France. White crosses marked the graves and Flanders Fields was covered in red pop- pies. Today we wear a poppy to, show that we remember the thousands that died in the new war. The red is for blood, the green was for peace on earth. Every November llth we go to the cenotaph to remember what Soldiers did for our free country. Yes, we will remember them!
