The former federal Minister of Health and Welfare was talking about the money. allotted by Ottawa to the provinces for health care. She suggested the provinces were putting the money received from Ottawa for health pur- poses into their general treasuries and it wasn't all being used for health as designated by the ,federal government. Monique Begin, former Minister of Health and Welfare for Canada, was guest speaker at the annual meeting of the Huron ' district of the Canadian Cancer Society. She is shown above at the Campaign successful left with Huron's past president Helen 'Davies, incoming ' president Harold Knisley and Exeter branch resident Norm Whiting. (T -A photo) Meet $45,000 goal easily By Ross Haugh Supporters and volunteers of the Huron Unit of the Canadian Cancer Society have learned that 1979 was one of the most successful ever as far as campaign contributions were concerned. Unit campaign chairman Ross McDaniel told the annual meeting at the Pineridge Chalet at Hensall that an objective of $45,000 was set for the branches in Clinton, Exeter, Goderich, Seaforth and Wingham, being an increase of 12 percent from the previous year. The five branch chairmen and their co- chairmen started their planning early in the year and had their volunteer team of captains and 'canvassers ready to roll on April 10 with their door to door canvass. By May, they were again the first unit in the South -Western: District to exceed their objective. While the canvass of residential (urban and rural), industrial, commercial and special names was rolling up a figure of $47,724, special events were being staged by the branches to add another. $18,223 to make an inapres'i VP grand total of $65,957.00. The report stressed that the Canadian Cancer Society continues to conduct their successful campaigns each year at a cost of less than 10 cents for each dollar raised. This covers the expense of posters, films, kits and receipts.

Sitter, con- vener of Family and Consumer Affairs, presented Mrs. Cathy Thompson of the Huron County Health Unit as speaker for the af- ternoon. Mrs. Thompson gave a most inform- ative; e presentation on "Nutrition and What it Means to You". In the number one problem of overweight, she stated it is a matter of taking in more calories than you are using up. Lack of, exercise has a great deal to'do with overweight.

Special. recognition was made of the Canadian Foresters, who con- tributed some $3,300 through the snowmobile rally. Huron County also received from the Foresters an . additional amount of $4,658 through their National organization. This sum was made up of monies by the Forester Courts of Benmiller,, Constance and Huron District Council of the Canadian Foresters Life Insurance Society. Ontario division campaign chairman Ron Potter congratulated the Huron units for going 146 percent over their ob- jectives. Harold Knisley is the new Huron president for 1979)80 and vice-president is Ross McDaniel. Both are from Goderich. She continued, "At present Ottawa pays 68 percent of the total Ontario Health bill. "Health services are supposed to be free and I mean free. There should he no need for extra charges such as user charges and extra fees fur the chronically ill as suggested by some. We are already paying as taxpayers and any fur- ther charges would be double taxation", the former minister con- tinued. Ms. Begin carried on saying, "Prime Minister Clark has never given any views -on medicine but his government is proposing a Hall Com- mission. This is not necessary. The facts are already there on the health minister's desk. I left them there." Justice Hall was ap- pointed by John Diefenbaker in 1961 to look into the health situation and he created the system. It could be the father of medicare could come back to save it,” she added. The former health minister suggested public reaction could be a big help in getting health problems straightened out saying, "A simple letter to your members of parliament at both levels saying you are not happy with • any proposed in- creases would do the trick".
