dissolve more easily. This gives a nice white light, does not char the
wick and will not jolt out.

Victorian Order of Nurses
turning 100 years old
PERTH -HURON - The innova-
tive charitable organization that pi-
oneered community nursing in Can-
ada at the turn of the century, and
then went on to introduce many of
the programs and services that have
become mainstays of the nation's
current health care system, is about
to turn 100 years old.
Two staff and one member of the
VON Perth -Huron Board of Direc- ,
tors will be among the 400 volun-
teers and staff attending the Octo-
ber 17, VON Canada Centennial
Annual Meeting in Halifax, Nova
Scotia. In 1896, at a National Coun-
cil of Women meeting held in the
historic city of Halifax, the idea of
establishing the Victorian Order of
Nurses first emerged.
The volunteers and staff will hon-
or a century of caring, while plan-
ning VON Canada's future contri-
butions to a rapidly changing mix
of public and private health care in
Canada. In common with most oth-
er large players in the health sector,
VON faces an unprecedented num-
ber of new challenges - both to its
traditional roles and to its creativity
in coming up with new ways to
help keep Canadians healthy and
care for them when they are sick.
Highlights of Agenda for this
year's special annual meeting in-
clude:
• a panel presentation which will
draw out lessons for optimizing
VON's future role, by looking at
its rich past and enduring values
and traditions,
• a working session on revitaliz-
ing VON's charitable services -
we'll hear from Dr. Tom Nosewor-
thy, Chair of the Steering Commit-
tee of the National Forum on
Health,
• Dr. Noseworthy will discuss the
determinants of good health and
what VON can now do to help lin-
prove the health and wellness of
Canadians in general, and,
• a forum on designing the kind
of flexible, community-based work
force that will be needed to deliver
Canada's ever leaner public health
care services.

Trust fund started for Sylvan program
EXETER - Since 1964, students
have attended the Sylvan Conserva-
tion Program to learn about the en-
vironment. A trip to Camp Sylvan
is likely one of your most vivid
school memories. What stands out
the most? Sleeping in covered wag-
ons, discovering new animals in the
forest or is it the games you played
while in the forest?
This fall, students from six
schools are building memories of
Sylan: McCurdy Public, Stephen
Central, Usborne Central, Bosan-
quet Central, East Williams Memo-
rial and Milverton Public School.
This is the only Conservation Au-
thority -operated residential educa-
tion program in southwestern Onta-
rio. Students from grades 6, 7 and 8
from London and Sarnia, Middles-
ex, Huron, Lambton and Perth
counties' schools attend this pro-
gram for 1 1/2 or 2 1/2 days. The
students are immersed in the envi-
ronment 24 hours a day - learning,
eating, playing and sleeping in the
outdoors. This is a tradition in
many schools and is very important
to their curriculum as it teaches en-
vironmental issues with hands on
experience. Teaching this way
makes it more fun and interesting
to the students. Therefore, they
learn quicker and easier.
Camp Sylan is owned by Scouts
Canada. South Huron District High
School students are the junior lead-
ers, Scout Canada provides the
camp staff for cooking and the
camp ranger who does the mainte-
nance. The program is funded by
the user fee for the schools and stu-
dents, and by the Conservation Au-
thority. Due to Provincial cutbacks,
the ABCA has started the Sylvan
Trust Fund to make up for the loss
of funding. The goal of the Trust
Fund is to raise $400,000 to cover
the present and any future costs of
the program.
The Sylvan Program runs in the
fall and spring. The Ausable-
Bayfield Conservation Authority is
now taking bookings for next
spring. Teachers are encouraged to
contact the ABCA to ensure a time
slot for their class.
For more information on the Syl-
van Trust Fund or bookings, con-
tact Kate Monk at the ABCA. Tele-
phone (519) 235-2610, Fax (519)
