"Spells disappointment for the members of the Goderich Municipal Nursery School committee who had been hoping for the establishment this year of a day care centre in town. Mrs.. Elsa Haydon, chairman of the nursery school com- mittee, told the Signal -Star Tuesday afternoon that a letter from the Ministry of Com- munity and Social Services to the local committee advised that the special $15 million program for theestablishment of new day care pentres in the province had ' been spent. Goderich's request for funds was not filled. Mrs. Haydon did add, however, that the committee is still hopeful that their request will be reviewed when new money is available in Ontario for day care centres. In the meantime, tie com- mittee is negotiating with the Huron -Perth Separate School Board for facilities in the present Queen Elizabeth School classrooms at the corner of North Street and Gloucester Terrace. The nursery school would be moving into the Calf ciubs New officers named The Dungannon and Lucknow Calf Clubs held their organizing • meeting onMarch. 20 'In the Brookside School.

Mrs. Haydon pointed out the proposed lease with HPSSB would be negotiated on a yearly basis if at all possible. " More and more day care centres are being established through the Ministry of Community and Social ser- vices. "When the accumulative effect of the current $15 million • capital expenditure on day care is added to that of the $10' million provided three years . ago under "Project Day Care", it is apparent that the Ontario Government has created a day •"care program on behalf of Ontario's children which we consider second to. none in North America," said Minister Rene Brunelle. • "Taken together, the two special, Government programs to expedite day care services throughout the Province will have created 171 new centres which proVide day care for 6,500 children,– he said. • 'Our. first priorities in each of the recent programs have been for the establishment of day care services for han- dicapped children, ,for children from low,income families and for native Indian children," Mr. Brunelle, said. • - A' breakdown of the 171 day care projects approved for • -capital –grants ot $25 - million under the two recent special :programs show 37 centres for handicapped children receiving 100 percent capital grants; 20 centres for Indian Bands, - 2frtentres ap- proved for charitable - ;cor7 porations „ and co-operatives and 86 centres for management by municipalities. Since a current trend in. Setting up day care centres is to integrate physically . han- dicapped children with normal children, some of the municipally -run centres, as ,well as some rain by charitable organizations, are also designed to serve the han- dicapped. r The: Ontario Government pays 100 percent capital costs 'of approved centres uncleit.,the B . - E 1 4 autumn quarters for nursery current program, and it also paid 100 percent on most of the projects completed in the earlier "Project Day Care". The Province also assumes the largest share of operating expenclitides. . For children of needy perents attending a nursery, the Province shares operating costs with the municipality, Indian Band council or provincially "approved cor- poration on an'801, 20 ratio. Day centres, or development centres, for, handicapped children are subsidized 100 percent on behalf of school - aged 'handicapped children. The Government also provides generous subsidies on behalf of pre-school handicapped children so that their parents will pay no more than other parents caring for normal children. "This extra subsidization is provided since costs to operate' a nursery for the handicapped are roughly 35 percent higher than 'a 'regular day care cen- tre," Mr. Brunelle said. In addition to the recent two special capital projects to expedite day care services -the Ministry has continued to support the ongoing expansion of day care facilities through its regular capital •funding program. NeW construction is funded on a 50 - 50 ratio where the applicant is a municipality, Indian Band council Or an approved corporation. " New construction to provide places for handicapped children is funded on a 80 - 20 ratio between the Province and approved applicant: Renovations, fur- nishings and equipment for all day care centres are sha'ed on 80 - 20 ratio between the Province and applicant. • These regular capital ex- penditures over the past four years have created more than 1,000 • additional places for children, thus providing through provinciar capital funding, - in whole or 'part, a total of over 7,500 new day care places for children. The final 17 grants approve4 • to wind up the current program go to 13 municipalities, three co-operatives and, to the Oshawa • and District Association for the Mentally Retarded. The municipalities include Sioux Lookout, Thunder Bay, Walkerton, Dryden, Kirkland Lake, Cornwall, Chatham, the counties of Brant and EsseX and the regional municipalities of Hamilton -Wentworth!, Ottawa -Carleton and Niagara. •Present Grand Jury may be last one in Huron County BYMARTHA RATHBURN W.ith the sittings of Supreme • Court Spring Assizes this week we may have 'seen- the last Grand Jury to function in this County.

Also the judge instructs the grand jury that it may inspect all or any of the institutions and lock ups in the district or county that are maintained by the public's money.

Since there has been so much duplication of time and effort, ,Ontario's • grand jury system will soon be legislated 'out of existence and replaced by something called "The Public • lotions inspePtinn Art" and it is expected the other three provinces will follow Ontario's example. Seven randomly -picked members of the public cannot be expected to understand the records they read or the ac- counts, files 'etc. of the in- stitutions. Therefore, • their recommendations carried less and less weight over the years, and it appears these reports are shelved or lost in the shuffle. Very little seems to be done ' regarding them now. So perhaps the new in= • spection panel wifl function more efficiently, saving some of the 'Public's hard earned money. • 4. 4 4 ' ° A .
