They are expected to provide more intensive acute care services than are now available in home care programs. This method -of providing care at home enables patients to stay with their families and will be of most benefit to senior citizens and children. It will also enable some of those in hospital to shorten their stay and go home earlier. The specific type of acute care provided in each hospital -in -the -home pilot project will differ according to local needs. Proposals have been called for, with a deadline for receiving them December 29. The ministry will review the proposals and the suc- cessful applicants will be announced by next April. The hospital -in -the -home concept is in keeping with the govern- ment's commitment to innovative health strategies. As the premier has said, "We are building a new system of health care for the 21st century, one that emphasizes innovation, community services and illness prevention." To qualify, a hospital -in -the -home program must include: guaran- teed admission to the program within 24 hours upon referral by a physician; the ongoing monitoring of patients by doctors and nurses; and availability of the same basic medical technology as hospitals. Ontario has a very good hospital-based medical care system with highly sophisticated technology to support critical care patients, and we are committed to maintaining and enhancing it while at the same time making a wider range of services available to people in their communities and as close to home as possible. .

Prefer- ence will be given to scenes which best reflect the character and lifestyle of Huron County. * Photographs can be current, or older ones of historical interest. * Black and white reproduces much better than coloured, although the latter can be used. * Because cost prohibits me from printing in colour, the most effec- tive photos will .be those which rely on composition rather than colour. * A total of 12 photos will be chosen; each entrant receives a prize. * All photographs will be returned to the owner following the publi- cation of the calendar. *. All photographs' must be marked clearly with the location of the subject matter; and the name, address, and telephone number of the person entering the photo. * Deadline for entries is Friday, November 3. , Thames Rd. By MRS. RHODA ROHDE THAMES ROAD - The fall An- niversary church service of Thames road United Church was held on Sunday with a fair attendance. Miss Anne Marie Allen of Staffa was in charge of the service. She told the children a story about "The Turnip That Was Stuck". She said that keeping the children interested would help bring them and their parents to Sunday School and church. Jay Alblas of London sang "On The Wings of a Dove", "Morning Has Broken" and "Amazing Grace" accompanied by pianist Agnes Bray. The soloist did a marvelous job. • Anne Marie read the Scripture Lesson Genesis 2:1-2, Romans 15:1-13. The sermon was entitled "Behold I Come" with text from 1 John 4:11: "Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another." She said her sermon was the entire story of God.
