100. applications so far for
the 12 positions and ex-
plained, "The pay is poor,
but it is the practical
experience that's im-
portant."
The ministry of
education pays the
employees, although the
board of education will. do
the . hiring ...for its par-
ticular projects. .There
will 225 different projects
completed in Ontario this

sites in Huron County to

nit gets addition instead of new building
BY
SHARON DIETZ
The neW Clinton branch
office of •the Huron
un.ty__HeaIth..,Unit ._w-idl—
be• an addition to the
•Huronview Home for the
Aged rather than a•
separate building on the
Haaronview property.
Huron County Council
made the decision on a
recommendation from
their property committee
at their May meeting last
Thursday. When the last
addition was built onto
Huronview, provision
was made to add a. fur-
ther 75 -bed wing ex-
tending to the east. The
property committee
decided it would be more
economical to attach the
Health Building to the
present .Huronview in
place of the, originally
proposed 75 -bed addition.
Should it become.
necessary to provide
additional home for the
aged beds, county council
decided a new building
would be built in either
the south or north end of
the county. It is the policy
of the Ministry' of Com-
munity and Family
Services -that • any ad-
ditional beds required
should he built in either
the north or south end of
the county so that
residents could remain
closer to their own
community. •
Tom Consitt, reeve of
Stanley, asked how soon
the county would require
additional beds. County
clerk -administrator Bill
Hanly told council that.
the waiting list for
Huronview has remained
stable around 30-35°
people waiting for ad-
mission.
Hanly said the home
has been able to ac-
commodateany
emergencies up to this
point. He said the home
operates-'wi-tla•-300 beds
occupied when they have
a total of 310 beds. Hanly
suggested• the 'home care
program should alleviate
any immediate problems.
with shortage of beds. He
added there may even-
tually be an elimination
of normal care beds at
Huronview as chronic
care becomes the em-
phasis.
Admissions to
Huronview -are on an
average older and -or
require more care than
had previously been
given because of the
many Community sup-
port services which come
into being, .such as the
chronic and 'home care
programs. Huronview
has ' been granted , an
increase of extended care
beds. The total capacity
of 310, beds has' not
changed but the
allocation of beds has.
There are now 171 beds
set aside for extended
care.
Dr. Brian Lynch,
Medical Officer of
Health, pointed outthat
the administrators of
hospitals in Huron and
Perth counties recently
completed a survey
which indicates there is
no need for additional
chronic care beds in the
two counties until 1985.
Lynch said this will be
a busy year of planning to
implement the° chronic
care program because
everything is....based, on
estimates. He said he has
met with the hospital
• administrators in Huron
and Perth to discuss the
program to avoid overlap

— Lynch said he has -been --
in contact with Peter-
borough County and their
experience has been that
more .people avail
themselves of the chronic
care program when it
becomes available.
Lynch said he is not
contemplating a shift of
staff from Goderich to
Clinton. He said the new
health building in Clinton
will be the Clinton branch"
office as it is now and
Clinton staff will be
moving to the new
building. Lynch ex-
p l'am'ed ' th'at'"•the°"'CTin ori
office has difficulty
housing its , 15 -member
staff. 'The Victorian
Order Nurses are using a
house next door to the
nurses' residence where
the health office' is
located and there is no
room for any increase in
staff.
