Odds n' Ends
By ELAINE TOWNSHEND
%lse fotaiaax
Because Canada welcomes the
financial benefits of tourism, she
stresses her most appealing side.
Travel brochures and TV
advertisements paint an..im-
pressive image of our country.
Beautiful scenery is displayed.
Foamy waves break over
massive rocks; a lighthouse
stand on a cliff overlooking a
seren harbour; golden wheat
fields ripple in a breeze; a
railroad track winds through a
snowy mountain pass; sailboats
glide gracefully through a placid
water.
' From a clear sky, an aerial
view of a modern city shows
attractive sky scrapers located in
strategic positions.
For sportsmen. Canada is a
• haven full of delightful skiing,
boating. hunting and fishing
areas. For harried city dwellers,
who want to "get back to
nature." Canada is the place to
go. Meanwhile up-to-date cities
offer different__ ty_tes of en-
tertainment, nightclubs, theatres
and spectator sports.
Canada's way of life is also
depicted. Who appears most
frequently on the television
screens and in the tourist pam-
phlets? We usually see healthy
looking young people, who are
enjoying themselves - sunbathers
reclining on the decks of yachts,
skiers relaxing before a warm
fireplace in a secluded mountain
resort and hearty climbers
ascending the slope of a lofty
peak.
Of course, Canadian working
men are also portrayed. A
triumphant lumberjack waves
from the top of a towering pine.
-and satisfied fishermen haul full
nets into their tugs.
According to our tourism ads,
Canada is a clean. beautiful. fun -
loving and friendly nation,
mixing the old with the new and
harmoniously blending a variety
of ethnic groups.
That is Canada's good side. But
she has another side, which
doesn't appear in the com-
mercials.
What about the slums, the
dumps, the cesspools, the
deserted, run-down waterfronts,
the rats and cockroaches, the
sluggish rivers, the beaches,
where swimming is prohibited.
the smoggy skies, the coughing
people: the smoking factory
chimneys and the hydro towers?
Canada's open, unspoiled spaces
are vanishing.
How do you kill a lake? We've
discovered it isn't difficult.
Working together, Canada and
the United States almost
destroyed Lake Erie. Who says
the two countries don't cooperate
with each other? Amendments
are now being made, but we can
only _hope it_is_not.toO late
What about the bureaucracy,
the red tape. the statistics and the
endless forms we individuals are
required to fill out? They too
belong to Canada.
In the fields of technology,
science, medicine, education,
architecture and industry,
Canada has achieved- grant
strides. Unfortunately, we failed
_to consider the ultimate effects of
some of our brain waves. For
yesterday's comfort, we are
paying a high price today. What
will be the cost tomorrow?
Canada has two sides. We can
publicize the good side, but we
can't ignore the bad side.
Although we can be proud of
Canada's beauty and
achievements, we can't allow our
pride to blind us to her mistakes.

Canada has troubles. Hiding our

Let's stop kidding ourselves:
Canada .isn't the same country

she stepped forward; in others,

positive side is worth holding on

Program then you can receive
care at home.
The selection of patients for
Home Care is based on the
availability of services required,
with the resources needed and
willigness of the patient and their
family to receive their care at
home.
Every patient accepted for
Home Care must have OHIP
coverage, the same as if entering
a hospital, then there is no charge
for the services provided by the
Victorian Order of Nurses, the
Physiotberapist, the
Occupational' therapist or
Homemaker when the services
are needed.
In Ontario in the past year
ending March, 1974, 33,000
patients were admitted to
Ontario Home Care Programs in
lieu of hospital care, and the
length of care was 24 days with an
average cost of less than 510.00
per day. This compares with the
average hospital costs in Ontario
of 8 to 10 times that amount.
In 1974 the Huron County Home
Care Program has provided
hospital care at home to 469
patients. The average length of
care at home was 29 days at a
cost of $8.21 per day. The present
cost for a bed in the local
hospitals range from 570 to 580
per day.
Home Care is an alternative to
hospital care for any age or
illness on the recommendation of
your family physician. When a
patient can be assured of com-
petent care at home by the
necessary professional, coupled
with the encouragement and
support of the family in one's own
environment. it provides a sound
formula for effective effective
health care.
The Home Care program is 100
percent funded by the Ministry of
Health and is administered by the
Huron County Health Unit.
From January 1974 to
December 1974. 469 patients
received care at home. Of these
patients, 45 were from Clinton
hospital, 40 were •from Exeter
hospital, 55 were from Goderich
hospital, 29 were from Seatorth
hospital, 80 were from Wingham
hospital, '108 were referred
directly by the family doctor
instead of being admitted to the
local hospital, 104 were
discharged earlier from hospitals
in London and Kitchener, 8 were
from Goderich Psychiatric
hospital. The ages of these
patients were 0-20 years — 11; 21-
65 years — 178; 65 & over — 280;
39 were over 85 years.
