because the program is right for the friend,
doesn't mean it's right for Suzie."
If in doubt about the kind of program that
will appeal to your child, a general activity
camp may offer the best solution.
Specialty camps offering intensive pro-
grams in such areas as sports, arts, music
or dance became popular a few years ago.
But, according to Connett, the traditional,
"all -activity" camps are still in the
majority.
Location is another important considera-
tion when choosing a program. Make sure
day camps are fairly close to the child's
home to avoid lengthy bus trips.
Regardless of the type of . camp involved,
find out if transportation is provided by the
operator. Are the costs for busing included
in the -overall fee? Costs -for certain• slieeial
activities or excursions may be extra.
To avoid unpleasant surprises, be sure
you've added up all the fees and costs before
registering.

The $850 million to Ontario hospitals, an-
nounced by Treasurer Hobert Nixon in
Tuesday's budget, will finance an expansion
of approximately 4,400 beds over the next
few years, Health Minister Murray Elston
told the Ontario Hospital Association.
Southwest Ontario which includes Huron
County, has been allocated $100 million for
328 chronic beds and 37 acute beds.
The capital allocation, the largest in the
history of Ontario, is the first phase of multi-
year capital plan for the hospital system,
Elston said.
On top of this commitment, Elston said, a
second phase of the plan will provide for ex-
tensive renovations to hospitals to bring
them up to current standards and to enable
them to meet future needs such as more out-
patient services.
"We are taking this action in order to br-
ing Ontario's hospital system into line with
the needs of our population up to the late
1990's," the minister said.
may be fully or partially refundable within a
specific time period and under certain con-
ditions. Check details about refunds before
signing up and keep deposits as small as
possible.
Even when the final choice has been made
and hours have been spent sewing name
tags on every one of the child's socks, some
parents still Vvorny, Connett says. Many
claim they are concerned about their
children getting home -sick, he says.
"The funny thing is, the child is usually
quite ready to stay away from home, but the
parents aren't."
The Ontario Camping Association runs an
accreditation program for children's sum-
mer camps in Ontario. Camps that wish to
be accredited by the association must meet
certain health and safety standards. They
must 'also have been in operation for a least
one year and are required to provide bank-
ing references to the OCA. More than 200
Ontario summer camps are now accredited.
To obtain a list or for more information
about the association, call (416) 781-0525.
Elston noted that for many years there
has not been any rational plan guiding
capital development of hospitals: "Because
capital funds were allocated for hospitals on
an annual basis, it was extremely difficult
for hospitals to plan ahead on any long-
range terms."
Changing demographics are putting
pressure on hosptials, the minister said.
'Current forecasts indicate that while our
overall population will increase by about 17
per cent by the end of this century, the elder-
ly population will increase by 53 per cent.'
Elston said that the bed expansion in the
first phase of the capital plan will provide
approximately 1,400 new acute care beds
and more than 3,000 new chronic care beds
(see attached list for regional breakdown).
The exact locations of these beds within
each region will take into account recom-
mendations from district health councils.
The expansion represents an eight -per-
cent increase in the number of beds in the
province. When it is completed, Ontario will
have More than 55,000 hospital beds, up
from the current 50,079.
The minister said acute care beds will be
added primarily in areas of Ontario where
the population is growing rapidly. But, he
added, the substantial increase in chronic
care beds should free up acute care beds in
all hospitals. The waiting period for a
chronic care bed in some areas of Ontario
can be up totwo years, with the result that
many people are waiting in acute care beds.
The addition of new hospital beds, the
minister said, will be accompanied by the
expansion of out-patient programs and new
community-based services which will be
designed to help more people live in-
dependently in their communities.
If it were not for such innovative direc-
tions in health care delivery, even more nev
hospital beds would be needed, Elston said.
$24,000 for landfill site studies
A research grant of $24,000 to determine
what concentrations of selected organic li-
quids in domestic waste leachate would in-
crease the permeability of clayey soils used
as landfill liners in Southern Ontario, has
been awarded to the University of Western
Ontario, Environment Minister Jim
Bradley announced.

In this study selected liquid hydrocarbons
will be added to batches of landfill leachate
and passed through clayey samples. The
permeability of the clayey soils will be
monitored to quantify the effect of organics
