Village Squire, 1975-01, Page 17I have noted that when the occasional
person has objected, he has received a
watered-down reassurance re. the Mustard
Report, such as, "Well we wouldn't use all of
it, we will just use parts of it", but I would
like to point out that Dr. Mustard himself has
stated that there can be no small part of the
Mustard Report omitted. It hinges together.
It must be all or nothing and certainly with
what we have in Ontario today in our health
care delivery system, it is my feeling that we
do not need the Mustard Report.
We do not need to add unnecessary costs to
health care and if one really is interested in
developing efficiency in the health care
system, then they should start at the
community level and find out from the people
who are the consumers of health care and the
physicians and nurses who are the people
giving the health care what can be done. To
impose a major re -organization plan without
practical experience and knowledge of health
care as it actually is at the consumer level is
an impossibilisty and the Mustard Report
certainly demonstrates this in its conclusions
and recommendations.
We did our Christmas Shopping early
with "you" in mind.
For the gift that's special .. .

Not
many
people
will see
a
mistake
you
make.
AIn,ost
everyone
in town
sees
ours!
Your local newspaper's prime function is
to present the news ... honestly and fully.
That's all. However, sometimes the report-
ing goes astray, when the news is printed.
Some of our friends think this is amusing.
Some don't. We at your local newspaper
don't laugh easily when a mistake is made
in your local paper.
But in spite of our best efforts, it does
happen occasionally. Even the editor had to
smile when this caption appeared in his
newspaper under the picture of a fallen tree:
The free downed at this home
damaged spouting and shingles ..
it was snapped by a violent guest.
In another newspaper, the coronation of a
high school beauty queen took an unusual
turn when the proofreaders overlooked
this one:
Queen Margie White was escorted to
her throne by co -captains Jim Block
and Fronk Gruff. There she was
presented with roses and drowned.
Sometimes the classified ads are full of
surprises, too. The young lady who ran this
advertisement is still wishing that her
friends would let her forget it:
Wanted: Large well -furnished room
by young woman about fifteen
feet square.
Then there was the time one of our nice
Iowa ladies, trying to do her part to add
to the Christmas spirit of her home city,
found her efforts recorded thus:
Mrs. X set up o still life composi-
tion of angel figurines and greenery
entitled, "Hark the Herald Angels
Sin."
So, when you see one like this:
The Rotary mole quartet will sing,
"I need three every hour .
Or this:
II am now in position to hatch I
your eggs at five cents per egg ...
please remember that local newspapers are
regarded by readers as a friend they can't
do without, and even a good friend is bound
to make a mistake once in a while.
When you stop to consider that over a million inches
of news are reported each week in hundreds of
weekly newspapers throughout Canada, a mistake
here and there doesn't sound too bad to some
people, But a misspelled name of a local citizen in a
news story is no laughing matter ... if it's about
you.
