Report from A Bill which is of great con- cern to everyone is An Act to Provide for the Inspection of Meat for Human Consumption. It goes without saying that this concerns consumers, processors, and producers alike. The Bill became law last spring but a period of two years has been al- lowed as an adjustment period. This means the Bill will be en- forced starting January 1, 1965. Speaking in very broad terms, it is intended that the meat pro- ceasJng plants and the slaughter- houses laughterhouses in Ontario will even- tually all come under federal inspection. This has caused much concern among smallbut- chers in general, people who operate small slaughterhouses which can never be expected to come up to the standards of in- spection under the federal Act because the capital expenditure would be too great. Personally I feel that a meat inspection Act must do at least four things. (1) The consumers are to be safeguarded. (2) The small butchers must have some sort of an inspection. (3) This inspection must be at a reason- able level so the product they sell will be inspected and therefore can legally be offered on the markets in cities where local by-laws forbid anything but inspected meat to be sold. I am thinking of Hamilton, Kit- chener and Woodstock in par- ticular. (4) The interest of the small abattoir must be upheld within the framework of No. 3. Last Wednesday at a com- mittee meeting of the Agricul- tural Committee the air was somewhat cleared on many of the details inherent in the Bill. Exemptions from the Act in- clude: (a) Animals slaughtered in the territorial districts of Algoma, Cochrane, Kenora, Manitoulin, Nipissing, Rainy River, Sudbury, Thunder Bay and Temiskaming. (b) Dressed poultry other than eviscerated poultry, (c) Animals slaughter- ed by a farmer who sells the meat obtained from those ani- mals directly to consumers.(d) Animals slaughtered by a farm- er for the purpose of selling directly to consumers the meat of those animals on public mar- kets. arkets. (e) Animals slaughtered by a person for the purpose of obtaining meat for himself and his family. (f) Animals slaugh- tered by any person for the sole purpose of supplying the meat to the members of an associ- ation of live stock producers of such animals. It is worth noting that all in- spections of live stock before slaughter and of meat and the labelling thereof is to be exact- ly xactly the same as presently done under regulations respecting establishments by Ottawa made ueen's Park under the Meat Inspection Act (Canada). This Bill is indeed compli- cated and to clarify all points at this time would take pages. However, the Minister of Agri- culture has assured members that the greatest flexibility will take place in the implementa- tion of this program. On Thursday of last week I spoke in the House on a subject that I feel deserves serious at- tention on the part of the Gov- ernment. Many people have approached me concerning the extending of Ontario Hospital Services Commission approval to Private Nursing Homes in the province to cover indigent and chronic patients who require only care and supervision: At the present time there are ap- proximately 400 Licensed Pri- vate Nursing Homes in the Pro- vince. Of these 43 are approv- ed temporarily by Ontario Hos- pital Services Commission, usually for the duration of a year to help alleviate the chro- nic bed situation in public hos- pitals where the problem has become acute. If the situation rectifies itself and the hospital is able to handle all the chron- ic patients, the temporary On- tario Hospital Services Com- mission approval to the Nursing Home is withdrawn. I made several proposals to the government on this subject. (1) The Government should standardize the rules and regu- lations governing Nursing Home: across the Province. Those who meet the standards would be licensed by the province and those failing to do so would be refused a license. (2) Extend O.H.S.C, to the provincially licensed Private Nursing Homes to cover indi- gents and chronics who require care and supervision c,-ly: Care must be taken not to turn Pri- vate Nursing Homes into hospi- tals because Nursing Homes do not have the staff nor the equip- ment to do the work of a hospi- tal. There are 263 private and public hospitals in Ontario with approximately 6, 265 chronic beds. I have it from reliable sources that this is the equival- ent to building a 500 bed hospi- tal in terms of the number of beds it could release for active treatment. Day of Prayer To Be Held FORDWICH--The February meeting of St. Anne's GuiH was held at the rectory in G-r- rie. The meeting opened with the Lord's prayer. A chapter from the study book, "Heaven, Our Source of Supply", and the Scripture lesson were read by Miss Louise Matthews. Roll call was answered by 16 members, with a stamped get well card. There was one guest present. The correspondence was read by the secretary, Miss El- va Foster. Members were re- minded of the World Day of Prayer in Trinity Anglican Church at 3 p.m. on Friday, February 14. Miss Alma Har- grave will take part on behalf of St. Anne's Guild. There will be a pancake supper in the basement of the church on Feb. 11 from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. The president, Mrs. Jean Sothern, had the members look at, "The Golden Book forChar- ity", a project in which mem- bers save seals, tokens and box ends of certain products, to be redeemed for articles that could be used in the church. Rev. Anderson closed the meeting with prayer. Mrs. Wil- la Douglas had a very interest- ing contest for the members and lunch was served by the hostess, Mrs. Anderson and Mrs. Donna King.
