Even those patients on special diets are allowed to make selections — their menus are corrected daily in accordance with their restrictions. These corrected menus are a good guide for patients to help in learning about their individ- ual diets. Besides offering prepared meals, various snacks are available to staff and visitors in the dining area of the cafe- teria via vending machines. Since their introduction last fall' these machines have proven to be very popular by providing an assortment of beverages and food items 24 hours a day. While the preparation of food for patients and staff is the prime role of any dietary department, the role of edu- cating people to the impor- tance of good eating habits is an increasingly important function. Many people, whether in or out-patients, require a special diet or a modification of a normally balanced diet. The responsibility of teaching these patients about their new diets lies with their •hospital dietitian. From merely discussing a list of instructions to inten- sive conversations on complicated cases, the dieti- tian. helps patients to learn what special changes are necessary in accordance with their conditions: Several special nutrition programs are underway at Wingham and District Hospital. Diabetic classes offered to both in and out- patients and taught in con- junction with the nursing de- partment. bring many dia- beticS and their families to- gether to learn. about their condition. Here they can share problems and con- cerrbS. Subjects covered include insulin injections, urine testing, restaurant eating, convenience foods and just learning to live with dia- betes. A second program is of- fered to new mothers. Here mothers can view a film on infant feeding starting with a new baby on breast or bottle and progressing through to a child on table foods. Advice is given on when to start solid food and how much to feed, the benefits of home- made babyfood vs. commer- cially prepared food, pre- paration of formulas and sterilization of bottles and successful steps for breast lotg. h s are renatifiled that children imitate their parents so that parents would be wise to improve any bad food habits they might have at this time alsce. Many doctors in the area take advantage of the out- patient counselling offered.

Most recently, talks were given to the Wingham Day Centre for the Homebound. These talks centered around diabetic diets. weight control diets, and low salt diets.

Fire prevention stressed Huronview staff drilled in evacuation of residents By Sbarot Dietz There is some concern about the safe evacuation of residents from the second floor of Huronview during a fire in ' light of the recent disaster in a Mississauga nursing home. The committee of . �,. ge- ment of Hu I nview recommended to Huron County Council at its Sept. 4 m, ti t the admini- strator proceed with plans and get approval for a fire exit from Women's Bed Care onto the roof over the infir- mary and from Women's Bed Care onto the roof over Special Care. • The committee suggested that residents could then be arranged in such a way that the most handicapped could be evacuated as quickly as possible. Huronview Administrator Wayne Lester told county council the • ministry of health consultant wants a study of exits to the roof be- fore it proceeds with this measure, because it creates an additional hazard to evacuate residents to a roof. Mr. Lester told council he is confident that with proper training the Huronview staff would be able to evacuate the Women's Bed Care by taking the residents down the stairs. He outlined the training program which has been set up by the Huronview ad- ministation in cooperation with the Clinton Fire Depart- ment. He said the staff at Huronview has concentrated ori fire skills training during the month of August and he is confident it can evacuate in three minutes. The Clinton .Fire Department takes between two and three minutes to arrive on the scene. ' The fire department has taught Hunenview staff to use the fire eir$inguishers in the building, how to use the hoses and to turn the nozzles to spray a fog. Mr. Lester said a fire manual has been prepared teaching the staff the proper manner to carry residents during evacuation. Staff has been trained to. go to certain areas should a fir'break out and is' responsible for certain jobs during evacuation. He pointed out the highest risk is during the evening from 6 p.m. until 7 a.m., when there is a minimum of staff on duty, but it would be too costly to keep maximum staff on through the night shift just in case of a fire. ' Mr. Lester said the staff will continue monthly fire drills and he is certain the training program will help the staff remain calm during an evacuation. He explained the Huron - view staff works at fire pre- vention and the home adheres to smoking rules. Smoking in the rooms is not Permitted-, smoking is allowed only in designated areas where Smoking resi- dents are under constant supervisi on Mr. Lester cited two di- stances where smoking resi- dents were under super- vision when their clothes caught fare and staff members were able to ex- tinguish the fire before any - Afternoon unit resumes meetings With the beginning of the new fall season. the after- noon unit of the Wingham United Church Women met an the fellowship room on September 2 Mrs Johnston and Mrs Latina welcomed the ladies and Mrs Passmore presided at the piano Following the singing of a hymn.

For nearly 150 years Ontario has had a law making it an offence to enter property, where entry is prohibited. But now new legislation — The Trespass to Property Act —has toughened up the law to protect .your rights. Trespassers can now be fined up to . $1,000. In addition, they can be ordered to pay for damages they have caused. An important part of the legislation designates premises where entry is prohibited without notice. These include your gardens, orchards, ' vineyards, land under cultivation, woodlots and fenced land. Where notice must be given to prohibit entry, you may use red markings on gates, trees or fences. Yellow markings may be used to caution that only certain activities may be permissible. It is the responsibility of the visitor to find out what you permit. LAND USED FOR RECREATION In the past, there was a great deal of -confusion regarding your responsibility to people you allow on your land. Consequently many farmers and rural landholders would not allow recreational activities on their properties. Now another new act — The Occupiers' Liability elect — reduces your responsi- bility. In a nutshell, the law assumes that those tkvho take their recreation on 'most rural land without paying a fee will take care for their own safety. A special system has been devised to allow you to easily indicate which activities you will allow on your property. A sign naming or graphically representing an activity (for example, hiking) indicates that the activity is permitted. The same kind of sign with an oblique stroke through it means that you prohibit the activity. These new laws are part of a continuing program to streamline our legislation. By darifying your rights, they afford you greater protection from trespass and also reduce your liability when you make land available for recreational purposes.
