Dispute plumbing inspects
County -wide plumbing in-
spection is a matter of no small
concern for members of Huron
County Council, and reeves are
not entirely --united in their
feelings concerning lit.
Chairman Gerry Ginn
received permission for the
Board of Health --to- circulate
..0. -,questionnaires among the
municipalities to determine the
feelings of the elected officials
and the people they represent,
but there is still some concern
about plumbing inspection, its
cost, its importance, its area of
jurisdiction. •
For the most part, coun-
cillors who are apprehensive
are concerned about costs. The
scheme as presently proposed is
to be financed on a "user pay"
basis and it is hoped the fees
for inspection will carry , the
salary of the staff. It was ex-
plained the first year would be
a "growth period" which would
be financed by the county, but
based on 400 new residences in
Huron per annum it is felt the
program would soon support it-
self.
Dr. Frank Mills, Medical Of-
ficer of.Health for Huron, told
council that plumbing inspec-
tions by the county were
discontinued in 1970 even
though the bylaw is still in ef-
fect. He noted that in the past,
many cases escaped inspection
and a new plumbing inspection
scheme would endeavor to
cover all construction in the
county.
Urban -rural exchange
set forsummer1.3
..Urban.RuaJ Exc:hange.,is..on.
again'
Now in its third summer, this
program offers an opportunity
for twelve to fifteen year olds
from farms and from, cities to
live in and learn about the
other environment.
In a typical exchange, an ur-
ban child will spend one week
on a farm, followed by a week-
long visit. with the city family
for the rural boy or girl.
With the goal of increasing
understanding between urban
and rural families, each visitor
will participate as a member of
his or her host farnily, taking as
much part .as possible in .that
family's normal activities of
the week. Hopefully the urban
child's first-hand experience as
"a farmer'.= son or daughter"
and the fans youth's week as a
"city dweller" will help make
them and their families more
tolerant and knowledgeable of
the other life-style. In this way,
.the program is both an oppor-
,n
tuniLy.- to learn..,and-.tA...teach,.-
chance to find out tie other's
point of view as well as a
chance to show him how you
see things.
Transportation for the four
sets of exchanges in July and
August is arranged by the
program co-ordinators, and
both the exchanges and the
host families are insured
against accident and liability.
Application fornix for both
urban and rural participants
will he available in local
schools and from the program
co-ordinator in the county On-
tario Ministry of Agriculture
and Food office. The co-
ordinator for Huron and Perth
counties is Dianne Fines.
Urban -Rural Exchange,
sponsored by the Ministry of
Agriculture and Food, is one of
the Experience '73 programs to
provide employment and alter-
natives to efnployment for
young people in Ontario.

ALL WELCOME
At the present time, however,
Huron County has no qualified
plumbing inspectors Dr. Mills
said.
Derry Boyle, Exeter reeve
and a former chairman of the
Board of Health, said the
government pays a 50 percent
subsidy on the salaries of
sanitary inspectors but "not
five cents for plumbing inspec-
tion".
Boyle said that the county
should either pressure govern-
ment toprovide subsidy on
plumbing inspections or "drop
it completely"
John Flannery, reeve of
Seaforth, charged that plum-
bing inspections would increase
the cost of plumbing by as
much as 25 to 50 percent
because of the loss of time.
Reeve Bill Elston of Morris
Township expressed his con-
cer`n for the "disgraceful
situation at the Listowel
lagoon. He noted that govern-
ment officials would "rather
not talk about it" and hes asked
Dr. Mills for an updated report
on the matter.
Dr. Mills said the promise
exists that by 1975 Listowel
will. have a complete sewage
system, but he noted that
"people pushing it in the
House" is still of vital concern.
He said Huron MPP Jack Rid-
dell was fully aware of the
situation and was endeavoring
to dd his part to keel') the mat-
ter current at Queen's Park. -
Dr. Mills noted the respon-
sibility lies essentially with
"the environment people" who
will provide the money for
changes at Listowel.
Bacteria' counts taken in the
Maitland River are "so far
satisfactory", �,�' eported Dr.
Mills. He saidyhlorination of
the effluent at the lagoon is a
possibility and "will help".
"It is better than it was two
years ago," said Dr. Mills who
added that the spraying
technique at the lagoon will be
continuing this year.

THE IMPORTANCE OF NURSING HOMES
". There are483 lic,.;nsedNursing Homes in Ont4rio
and they provide 22,000 beds which represents more
than 20 per cent of the total health care beds in the
province. Nursing Homes represent a huge capital
investment in' land and facilities. These facilities
have been provided by free enterprise at no cost to
the public purse. Nursing Homes pay taxes as do
other private and corporate citizens. In fact the
taxes they. pay help to provide the dollars used to
build hospitals and Homes for the Aged.
Nursing Homes provide long term care for the
aged ill. Homes for the Aged were established 'to
provide residential care for the Aged. Nursing
Homes are established to provide residential PLUS
nursing care for those aged who are ill and for
persons of all ages who osuffer from continuing
disabilities. Nursing Homes which provide Special
Care for children and adults with mental disabilities
number 261. They care for 5400 residents for whom
formerly the mental hospital was their only refuge.
As our population increases and the percentage of
persons over 65 continues to accelerate there will be
an increased demand for more Nursing Home beds.
In Ontario there'are now 625,000 people over 65 and
the number is increasing at the rate of 20,000 per
year. In many Homes the average age of the
residents is over 80 years. Centennial birthday
parties in Homes bare becoming almost
commonplace.

FACILITY

provides appropriate health services according to

DER1CH
residents require between 1'2 and 2'2 hours of
nursing care per day. The Nursing Home provides
the two essential functions indicated in its name,—
Nursing, and a Home for its residents.
The "Home" atmosphere is stressed in the
Home's outward appearance, in its functional
planning for kitchens, bedrooms, recreation rooms
etc. and most of all in. the personnel Veining for the
skills and attitudes required of the staff members.
In the hospital there is concentration upon
correcting the problem caused by. an adverse
incident or accident which interferes' with the
patient's normal life conduct and which affects one
or more parts or systems of his body. The hospital
staff uses operative intervention or physical
chemical change to abort the course of disease and
correct alignment of parts. In this sense a hospital is
a health service station or body repair shop.
The Nursing Home, on the other hand is a home,
concerned with continuity of care and for the whole
person. The Nursing Home resident's physical
needs may be great: he may suffer from a chronic
disease for which he needs continuing medication, he
may suffer psychological depression from his being
deprived of the richness of friendships he formerly
enjoyed: he may have serious limitation of
movement because of a "stroke". Memory loss may
be so serious that he gets "lost" even a few feet from
his bedroom door. For such ilt, estranged and lost
persons the Nursing Home -,offers integration into a
new home society.
NURSING CARE
Nursing care in the Nursing Home therefore,
whether geriatric nursing or retardate care, is- an
exceedingly demanding speciality and vocation. The
Nursing service gives attention to caring for alp of
the resident's physical, mental, psychological and
spiritual -needs and does it as a continuing activity
over a long span of time. Residents may spend many
years in this congenial and caring environment The
Home becomes for them THEIR home In that home
they find support and the security and warmth of
human companionship. "Serene old age" is not a
myth. It is found and expressed and lived by
thousands of disabled older people in Nursing omes
in Ontario.
PERSONAL CARE
This varies with the patient's degree of disability
Included are assistance with dressing and eating,
with getting into and out of bed, with bathing an
cosmetic needs, with dental hygiene, with walking
and with getting around with the aid of wheelchairs
and other ambulant aids.
MEDICAL CARE own
Patients in Nursing Homes usually have their
family physician. This is encouraged but if the
�f .n
patient" doesn't have his ..own doctor' or
emergency the personal physician is not ave,lab1e
-the Home has one or more advisory physicians who
respond to calls and arrange for the resiQent s
transfer to a hospital should this be necessary
DENTAL CARP-- teeth or
When a resident heeds attention for his
gums/or when he needs new dentures or repair of
dentures a dentist is called, or the resident s taken
to the dentist. Financial responsibility
for dental
re care is that of the resident or his family
