Letter to the Editor.... • from page 5 no other hospital is situated. While the Ministry considers Wingham part of Huron, the hospital actually serves North • Huron -, and South Bruce. Our requirements are not 3.5 beds per 1,000 but 5.5 beds per 1,000. 'We would remind you that we have a larger percentage of people over 65 than any other area in the province,. Thirteen per cent of Huron's population is senior citizens and seniors comprise .12 per CI) ft‘ Ontario's good summer crops of vegetables and fruits are in the stores now. Many are fresh --Vtabbage, carrots, apples, potatoes, -- parsnips, rutabagas and more. Others are canned or frozen. But all of them bring you the taste for which Ontario produce is famous. If you compare the prices of these Ontario foods with' prices of imports, it's easy to see wby Ontario fruits and vege- tables are one of the good food bargains in your store. And not only do -you get good value when you buy Ontario products, you also help `strengthen Ontario's economy. Good thingsgrowinOntario o Whenever you shop, look for the Foodland = Ontario symbol. It helps tell you you're buying •41 genuine Ontario food. If you don't see the symbol, speak to your store manager. • 4N• 0‘ • Bill Newman, Minister of Agricultu're and Food William Davis, Premier • Province of Ontario cent of Bruce County's popu- lation: Our nursing homes ,are filled to capacity, with waiting lists, and our Home Care. service is at a mini- mum. Does the • Ministry intend to provide alternate places for these patients? • Also of great importance is the fact that we live in the snow belt area where severe winter weather is a deterrent to travel. For four days this past January, the hospital could not move patients to larger centres beciese am- bulances were not allowed on the roads. Those same days, we could not discharge pat- ients from out-of-town be cause families were 'snowed in" at home. Publications of the Minis- try'S plans state that there will be "elimination of 1,172 hospital beds which are -considered 'surplus' ". Our • definition of dsurph,, is • "what is not required for the • purpose in hand". If you believe that 14 beds of our• , hospital are "not required for the purpose in hand", • please explain this to the , ,patients, , ,who>,„ night, are urged to "suffer until tomorrow' because ac- commodation is not avail- • able. • • We might also remind you that North Huron and South Bruce are in att -area of Western Ontario that has an extremely high potential for disaster. We are only 30-40 miles from the Bruce Nuclear Power • Development and each summer, we host visits • from thousands of tourists. Traffic on our main highways more than triples during the tourist seasonand ,with it, the chance of motor vehicle accidents also increases greatly. Visitors to our area expect adequate health care; wewill not be able to meet their needs if our active beds are cut., As representatives of our townspeople, we object to this cutback of beds and the lowering of the standard of health care in the Wingham and District Hospital. We strongly urge that the Minis- try's decision be rescinded. • Yours truly, The Council, Corporation of the Town of Lucknow.
