County Council Recommends
Ana, DollaC
CIinton
r1
To County Horne
,., A "million dollar" addition to
the Huron County home at elinton
was ,given the first stamp of ap-.
proval by Huron County -Council
in seS•sion here on Wednesday.
"'After weighing all economic
angles, your committee recom-
mends an addition to the Huron
County Home ' as the solution to
indigent hospitalization,!' said the
report of the -special committee.
"We further recommend that the
County Home Committee be given
'authority' to proceed with the pre-
paration of plans for the' proposed
addition for, later submission to
Council."
At the time the present ad"dition.
to the County Home was built, a
master plan wa's prepare& which
provided for future expansion. The
architect is to' contact the Depart-
.. merit. of Welfare at Toronto with a
view to proceeding with ;the pro-
posed addition. ,
During a period of less thanljf our
years the number of people at the
Huron County Home has increased
from 66 to 103 with .every indica-
tion of further increases.
The--epeeial - canna teo'e ra
read, in part, as follows:
Your committee 'first made an
analysis of the hospital accounts.
• We found there -were --57- ehronie•
p'atients in hospitals and ,nursing
homes over 90 days on which the
dr
+ cam 17•y . .. ,,.a: •
County, was paying the full cost of
$4,886.00 per, month. In addition
to this, the hospitals were receiv-
ing $2,800:00 per month in Old
Age Security ora total of $!7,686.00'
per month.
Your committee then visited the
Cotinty Home to, 'learn' what Ac-
commodation was ayailable. ' We
learned that the Home was filled
to almost capaciW with no accom-
modation for further bed patients
and that 1, ,`patients shad to be
refused admissions for lack of bed
patient accommodation. At this
time, your committee invited the
County Home Committee to join us
for further investigation. The
facilities at the Huron County
Horne were. checked. It was learn-
ed that the stoves and ovens in
the kitchen: had been in use' for
approximately •20 years and are
practically worn" out." The -major,
ity of the kitchen equipment is in
the same state and will have to be
replaced. Some of the laundry
equipment is of the same vintage
and is near the end of its best
service.
he�old-sect, „A,f,.,the...Fioj _wa
built in 1895. The windows • are
shrunken and it is difficult to
heat. •The back verandahs have
been -condemned. It is. inthis. fire
dangerous section that all the bed
patients are housed.
There is no prevision for segre-
gation of patients in the present
setup. Accommodation should be.
made for , segregation of special.
care patients apart fronormal or'
bed patient cm are.- ,
Visits were made to the County
Hames . et Kitchener and 'London,
Each of these Homes have accom-
rnodationufor 275 or more, patients.
An enquiry into the ' costs of in-
digent patients produced ' these
figures: Waterloo County, $32,000,
Middlesex County, $1'80,000; Huron
County, $4112,000.
A further study of hospitaliza-
tion reveals that 'National Health
Insurance will take effect in 1959
and the .Governefent will pay the
cost of active treatment indigent
patients but not chronics. - If pro-
vision could be. made to have the
`chronics placed in bed patient care
in ,the Horne, the reduction in our
hospitaTiiatien `,costs would mater-
ially assist in the payment of de-
,bentures...,.

Dear. Editor:-- .
The Signal -Star reaches me every
week and it has been a real plea-
sure to keep up with the home
town news. I have been watching
with interest the growth of new
industry 'and other developments
around the town.
.. I noticed .you had an early spring,
but, from all reports we have had
better weather here since the be-
ginning of May with temperatures
in the 70's and plenty 'of ,sunshine.
Here in Central Alberta we are
quite close to the •mountains and
our climate is ' affected by the
winds biowing across them. While
it is a very =beautiful ,country still
I miss the refreshing breezes blow-
ing in from Lake Huron.
1 recall the sign that was, or
may still be, posted at the entrance
to. town, "Goderich, prettiest town
in 'Canada." Asa growing boy, I
used to laugh at this; but, after
travelling .over most of Ontario
and living in several towns and,
finally,- after seeing 'Western Can-
ada right out to Victoria, I am
convinced .that the sign is not f4ar.
wrong. There are few towns in
Canada with such beautiful, wide,
clean, tree -lined streets, with .fine
housing and a, choice location on
the shore of Lake Huron. Gode-
rich takes a backseal to no 'one.
Perhaps it might be of interest
to some of, your readers that my
wife and I have accepted a call to
St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church,
Eort..PMacLeod; 'Alberta, to -become
effective the. last Sunday in Jame.
Fort 4ViacLeod is , an ^ attractive
western town in southern AIberta,
located almpst in the shadow of the
mountains."It is an historic town
connected with early settlement of
the province and R.C.M.P. work.
Thanks for your time.

Ontario ' people who,put their
faith in figures and believe that"

should nuzzle some of these figures
put out by the research director
of the Canadian Teachers' federa-
tion. , According to them, ' On-
tario's- school 'system is, at best,
third rate.
In the school year 1956-57, 25
per cent of the teachers in On-
tario's elementary and ,Secondary
schools had less than senior ma-
triculation and one year of teacher
training. In this category, On=
tario ranked third in the list of
the provinces, the percentage for
Saskatchewan ,being -nine aid for
British Columbia 14. As the brief
which. the^Ontario Teachers" fed-
eration presented to Prime Minis-
ter Diefenbaker last week said:
"Many thousands of young Can-
adians are dependent for their -
education upon teachers who ,are
immature, ' relatively uneducated
and inadequately ,trained for the
job."

Mr. Jack Collinsbh held a suc-

barb last Friday,
24 per cent of'. all Ontario teachers
in the public system had univer-
sity degrees. In this category On-
tario ranked • third from the top,
being preceded by British Colum-
bia (35 per cent), and the Protes-
tant public schools of Queebec
(25 per cent). The federation's
'brief• to the prime minister said:`
"No single factor is as important'
to the welfare of Canada as an
adequate supply of well-qualified
teachers." •
In ' pay to ' teachers Ontario
again ranks third. The, average
salaries of teachers in Ontario in
the last school year was $3,818,
compared with $4,140 in British
Columbia and $3,867 in 'the Que-,
'bee Protestant school system.
Despite the • apparent high cost
of schooling pupils in Ontario,
this rich province spends less per
pupil than three other provinces.
In 1956 it is estimated that On-
tario and its school boards' spent
$211 for the year on each pupil -
compered with $298 in British Col-'
umbia, $278 in Alberta and $238
in Saskatchewan.

Ah, but Ontario really can't af-
ford more. Can't it? In compar-
ison with all the other .provinces
and taking the yardstick of finan-
cial ability to be the personal in-
come of the inhabitants, Ontario
is year by.y_ year either last or
second -last in the amount _put out
for public education. Ontario
spends only about 2.8 'per• cent 'of
the total personal income of its
citizens on public elementary and
secondary education. The average
for Canada as a whole is 3.1 per
cent -which is only a. little less
shocking than Ontario's. how .figure.
