working for a year as volunteer board or volved in the field of voluntarism for more
committee members for local organiza-

"Our pilot programs launched earlier this
year in Thunder Bay and Ottawa were very
successful," she said. "Not only are young
people gaining valuable management skills
which will hnlster their careers but enm-
than a decade."
"Young Leaders Tomorrow is a program
of integrity and commitment offering young
people the training opportunity of a
lifetime," Mrs. Miller said. "It addresses a
growing concern for the need to recruit and
train a unique and diverse talent bank to
meet the increasing demands of
voluntarism."
"As the core group for the referral of
22,325 volunteers to more than 3,000 Ontario
agencies the past year alone, we keel this
program is ideally suited for administration
by the OAVB/C and look forward to mutual-
ly rewarding `partnership of progress' with
Dr. Munro's Ministry," she said. ,%
In the weeks to follow, the Young Leaders
Tomorrow program willbe inaugurated
through a series of local community an-
nouncements in Burlington, Kingston, Lon-
don, Ottawa, Peel Region, Sault Ste. Marie,
Sudbury (French), Toronto (two pro-
grams). and Windsor (bilingual).
Ten new programs will be offered
throughout Ontario for the 1987/88 year.
Hospital allocations increased for 1987
Provincial spending for operating costs
of Ontario hospitals will increase overall
by 7.4 per cent while funding for the 43
public health units across the province will
rise by 6.8 per cent for 1987-88, Health
• Minister Murray Elston announced.
All Ontario hospitals will receive a four
per cent increase, promised in 1986. In ad-
dition, the budget increase allotted to the
ministry will give a further 3.4 per cent for
growth in hospital programs.
These increases, amounting to $345
million,, will bring total ministry spending
on hospitals to approximately $5 billion.
"This announcement demonstrates the
commitment of the government not only to
maintain the basic elements of our health
care system," Mr. Elston said, "but also to
reflect the priorities for growth and
enhancements in the system, recognize in-
creased workload pressures in hospitals
and acknowledge the population increase
in some areas of Ontario."
The additional 3.4 per cent will provide
for: new programs to be started in the next
fiscal year; ministry -approved programs
started or expanded in 1986-87; growth in
life-support programs in designated
teaching hospitals and other major
hospitals; workload increases due to
hospitals treating more patients; an addi-
tional one per cent for hospitals with fewer
than 50 beds; and assistance with the in-
troduction of non-ionic contrast media.
Non-ionic contrast media are new dyes
used in x-rays for diagnostic purposes.
They considerably lower the level of side
effects and discomfort that can occur with
the traditional ionic media but are also
more expensive than traditional media.
The ministry has requested a meeting with
the Ontario Hospital Asssociation and On-
tario Council of Administrators of
Teaching Hospitals to develop a method to
allocate funds to help hospitals deal with
additional costs.
"The ministry has been authorized to ap-
prove funding for new programs to be
started in the next fiscal year. When 'fully
operational, the cost of these programs is
projected to total some $100 million," Mr.
Elston said.

The monthly meeting of the Pine River
Church UCW met Tuesday evening
November 11 at the church.
The meeting opened with president
Maithel Wilson in the chair. Mrs. Wilson
read a Remembrance Day poem and a
hymn was sung by the 21 ladies present.
Ann Boyd read the minutes of the last
meeting and Gloria Rutledge read the
treasurer's report. It was decided to carry
on with the Kountry Kitchen again in 1987.
Mrs. Wilson led in prayer and Margaret
Ferguson gave the Leggi for the UCW for
the 25 years. Another hymn was sung.
The meeting was turned over to Ruth
Farrell and her theme was on "Peace".
Phyllis Elliott, Kae Webster, Margaret
Reid and Midge Funston helped her with
the program. Ruth Farrell read a poem for
peace.
The ladies divided into four groups and
studied more about the unjust treatment of
many Indian tribes. The Dene and Matis
tribes of the Northwest Territories, the
Libison tribe in Northern Alberta, and the
Lashgo tribe in British Columbia are just a
few of the tribes which have been treated
unfairly by the governments.
Grace was sung and a lovely lunch was
serried by the committee. A social hour
was enjoyed by all.
