Patti Robertson, an interior design consul- tant from Wingham led the afternoon and evening sessions that were attended by.more than 350 people. Her presentation covered a wide range of styles and color schemes, all popular in decorating today. She stressed that interior decorating today includes a wide variety of styles - from the 1930s look to the distinctive Scandinavian style, and takes in a complete spectrum of colors from the popular rosewood to the use of primaries in the kitchen and bath. ill"There's a lot of choice out there," she noted. "It can be difficult figuring out what's right for you." With a slide presentation Ms. Robertson illustrated what's new in home decorating and how to give continuity to decorating style throughout the home. Among her basic decorating hints was the tip that not more than five colors should be used in decorating. However, a variety of shades and tones of those colors may be us- ed throughout the home. The exception, she noted, are children's rooms where any colors may be used. As well the design consultant answered many questions on picture hanging and groupings, window treaments and problems with high ceilings. More than 20 women's groups,,also took part in the open house by displaying exhibits that centered on home decorating. Many focussed on the popular Roman shade and balloon curtain styles as well as handcrafted candlewicking items. Groups who participated included: St. Joseph's Catholic Women's League (CWL), Clinton; Clinton I. 4-H Club; Winter Court Friends, Clinton; Blyth CWL; Bayfield Lioness; Bayfield UCW; Walton WI; Brussels WI; Dungannon Kinettes; Country Friends, Grand Bend; Dungannon WI; Dashwood WI; Howick Junior WI; Fordwich WI; Crediton WI; Trinity UCW; St. Boniface CWL, As well Norlholme Decorating of Clinton displayed window treatments and stencilling.

(A8 DC) in co-operation with Bell Canada has published a new drug education pro- gram, PLUS II, for Grade 7 and 8 classrooms in Ontario. PLUS II is expected to reinforce the trend among Ontario Junior high and high school students to decrease drug and alcohol use. Students today are knowledgeable a' out the risks of use because of existing educational programs and federal campaigns. "But this is not the time to become complacent," says Dr. Reginald Smart, of Addiction Research Foundation. "Drugs remain a serious pro- blem for some young people." A gallup poll conducted for the Federal government in February, 1985 indicates many young people are prepared to ig- nore the dangers of alcohol, drugs and tobacco because "drinking and smoking helix reduce nervousness and shyness in social settings." PLUS II will assist Grade 7 and 8 students and teachers in exploring and responding in a healthy way to the social pressures and choices facing adolescents today. The program, developed by Cynthia Malik, M.A., is being offered to teachers and principals in all elementary schools in On- tario. Bell Canada has funded the produc- tion costs. A&DC is a not-for-profit organization in Ontario engaged in preventive education. For further information: Karl Burden 293- 3400 - office.

(Shelley McPhee-Haist photo) Health Care professionals to make up system TORONTO -Twenty-five health care pro- fessions will be included in a new provincial regulatory .system which will replace cur- rent legislation, Health Minister Murray Elston announced. Seven of these professions will become a regulated health profession for the first time. They include audiologists, dieticians, medical laboratory .technologists, occupa- tional therapists, respiratory technologists, speech-language pathologists and midwives. A midwifery task force was established in January by Mr. Elston to recommend to him and Greg Sorbara, Minister of Colleges and Universities, a framework for how mid- wifery should be practised in Ontario and how an educational program can be developed and implemented. Recommendations for the regulatory reform were made by Toronto lawyer Alan Schwartz, who heads a team that has been reviewing health professions legislation since 1983. "Regulatory reform is long overdue in this province. Some professions which are outside the current legal structure have assumed new roles and whole new profes- sions have emerged," Mr. Elston said. "One important issue has been to deter- mine which health care professions re- quired statutory regulation in order to pro - G.

For each health care profession, the review team asked the following questions: is regulation by the minister of health ap- propriate, is regulation necessary, is regulation possible and is regulation feasible? In addition to the seven health care pro- fessions which met the criteria for the first time, these professions will continue to be regulated chiropodists, chiropractors, den- tal hygienists, dental technicians, dentists, denture therapists, massage therapists, nurses, nursing assistants, ophthalmic dispensers, optometrists, osteopaths, phar= macists, physicians, physiotherapists, podiatrists, psychologists and radiological technicians. One group which is currently regulated, naturopaths, did not meet all the criteria. "Naturopathy is based on a philosophy of natural healing that makes it extremely dif- ficult to define standards of practice. As a result, the continued regulation of this pro- fession would not enhance protection to the public. Although naturopaths will not be regulated, they will be able to continue to practice," Mr. Elston said. The review team will now move to the se- cond phase of the legislation review which will define the scope of practice of the various health professions and address other issues that arise from the decision to regulate. "The phase will also develop procedural and legal reforms for the operation of the governing bodies. I am determined to see that ' the accountability of 'governing' bodies to their own members, the legislature and the public is improved," Mr. Elston said. "In the year ahead, we will begin the pro- cess of drafting legislation to translate the policy and procedural decisions into law. When the legislation is introduced, it will be one of the most important measures to be presented to the legislature."
