The term 'palliation' comes from the term 'palliate', which means to "alleviate (disease) without curing". Dying is a part of living and a natural conclusion. Throughout the course of history, people have lived and died and families have grieved. Why then is there a this nature? A generation ago every family was familiar with death within the close-knit structure of the extended family and the community. The size of the family was larger and health care was limited. It was traditional for aging grand- parents to have their bedroom adjacent to the kit- chen, which was not only convenient, but also kept them within the family cir- cle.

GODERICH home close to those who lov- ed and cared for them. When a death occurred, the whole community mourned; neighbours helped with the farm chores, and the surviv- ing members remained within the social stream of community life. The Industrial Revolution brought vast social changes to our knowledge system, values and social roles, visitor and we have become a`ifeath denying society. This attitude and the way our society is structured creates innumerous problems for the person with a life threaten- ing illness. The major problem of the dying is the attitude of socie- ty in failing to understand their needs. One of the pro- blems that the dying are fac- ed with is fear of pain. There was not time to balance the medication as they were ad- mitte4 too late and died the following day. Pain can cause isolation and isolation can cause pain. Studies have shown that 'people tend to withdraw 'from the dying, not because they are uncar- ing, but because they are un- comfortable and at a loss for words.

Dr. Kubler-Ross discovered five psychological stages that the Shifting the burden Dear Editor, The Cabinet met to ponder many weighty things, How to trim their services, yet not give up the strings, How can we manage this - Then up spoke Mr. Drea, "If you will but listen, COMSOC has found a way". "We can close facilities in Smalltown On- tario, And promise help in funding homes where M.R. folk can go. We should close the old ones, but would lose too many votes, So these six smaller ones, must surely be the goats." "Of course we'll give a free hand to local mayors and such, So they'll assume the care of those who need a crutch. When handicapped are moved out, we can then cut back, We'll say the 'six and five' apply - the Town takes up the slack." "We know what will happen, taxes will surely rise, But they will be the local ones, so blame falls on local guys." And all that gathered Cabinet agreed with Mr. Drea, That they could shift the burden, and still look A-O.K. "The Huron County Hick". (Dorothy Potter) Presbytery delegates meet "We may say that -we are sorry that the world is in such a state - sorry that peo- ple are hurting and hungry" Rev. Lewis Snow told members of Huron -Perth Presbytery. "In fact,, he continued "we may be so sorry that we discover we are spiritually bankrupt." The president. of London Conference was 'addressing the delegates on stewardship - the church's 'emphasis for 1983. The meeting was held in Milverton-United"Church on November 23. The speaker was expan- ding on his statement that congregations can't become self-centered. Local pro- blems may loom large but we have a wider responsibili- ty- In answering his own ques- tion: what is christian stewardship Rev. Snow stated that it was being answerable to God for one's entire life. "We are really talking about commitment. The first question is: am I really committed to Jesus Christ?. Then the question of stewardship is easier to answer. After indicating that ministers were in the top 10 percent of givers he urged them to "preach what they practiced:" Strengthening charges Strengthening pastoral charges was a concern of the Local .producers are winners In 1982, the Ontario Bean Producers' Marketing Board introduced a new Quality - Yield Program and with it a contest among white bean producers.

John Roberts of Belgrave, reported that several situations in the Presbytery have prompted the executive to look at ways to give congregations more confidence. • One suggestion coming from the report was to en- courage ongoing training of all ministers, especially lay supply and supervising pastors. Rev. Roberts also stressed the concern that Presbytery has not been allowed to carry out its mandate on some occasions. Decisions that affect Presbytery responsibilities are reported to the court after they have been made. "Please," he stressed, "work out your church affairs with reference to Presbytery which has an overall picture to look at." General Council Report One of the highlights of reports by delegates to General Council in Montreal was that of Kathy Under- wood on the Youth Forum. The Winghain youth was elected secretary of the 90 - delegate group. She in- dicated that she had an- ticipated a common ap- proach to subjects under discussion but was surprised at the divergence of opinion of the young adults. Rev. Maurice Francis of Thamesview, reported that he got the impression from his contacts that perhaps a mistake had been made to legalize French -only signs and French -only language. An adchtional per member assessment of 30 cents for 1983 was approved in the budget presented by Charles Gates, Stratford. The 1981 and 82 figure was $2.15. Con- ference assessment adopted by delegates this spring ac- counted for the largest share of the increase. dying and their families may pass through. These stages can also apply to other losses in life, such as divorce. The five stages are denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance. In understanding these feel- ings, you can help the person move into the stage of accep- tance which is one of per- sonal or spiritual growth. These stages are not rigid but are ever changing and AherarsziesweArameddliti all persons. Studies indicate that 70 percent of Canadians die in institutions and frequently their needs are overlooked once all medical avenues have 'been tried. To over- come this, there has been an emergence of palliative care units and services across Canada. Recently, the Federal Government releas- ed guidelines for Palliative Care Services in Hospitals which were prepared by a sub -group which included experts in the field of palliative care from the grass root level. There are six principles of Palliative Care: 1. to treat the patient as a person, 2. to avoid inappropriate treat- ment, 3. good symptom con- trol (which requires clearly - defined medical leadership), 4. care of the relatives, 5. �o aF,t r,1 aiNi1411m""'}}eand VE, v m ae--x: J 1e Leamworlt:.
