Sods make
Ideal lawn.
For an almost instant lawn, lay
fine, weed -free sod on well-
prepared topsoil and add water.
"Starting a lawn by laying
sod is more expensive than
seeding," says Ontario Min-
istry of Agriculture and Food
horticulturist, D.B. McNeill,
"but it is undoubtedly faster.
Under ideal conditions, sod is
well established in two to three
weeks." Six to eight inches of
topsoil, well worked and properly
levelled, makes the best base
for sod. Add an organic matter,
such as manure, leafmold,
compost, or peat to improve
the soil's drainage if it is clay
loam, or to increase its water -
holding capacity if it is sandy
loam. Work in superphosphate
to promote good root develop-
ment.
Because root action starts
more quickly on a moist bed,
water the soil well before laying
sod. Lay the uniform strips so
that the joints are staggered.
On a slope, lay the sod by start-
ing at the bottom and working
upwards. On flat areas, lay the
strip farthest from the source
of supply first, and work back-
wards.
Soak newly sodded areas well
and in three to four days roots
will penetrate the soil. To main-
tain good growth, apply plenty
of moisture and a complete
fertilizer, rich in nitrogen.

Huron County medical officer
reviews health council concept
"I think we're going to have
to accept the fact that we're
going to have a health council
whether we want to or not,"
With these words, Dr. Frank
Mills launched into a short
review of the history and
concept of district health
councils. Dr. Mills, the medical
officer of health for Huron
County, was the guest speaker
at the June luncheon of the
Wingham and District Hospital
Auxiliary.
Dr. Mills explained that the
original idea was brought forth
in 1972 with a proposed total re-
organization of the Ontario
Ministry of Health.
"At that time it was very
nice," he said.
The original plan proposed a
50-50 composition of members
on the council from both con-
sumers and producers.
"We often plan things that
the consumer doesn't think we
should have planned." He said
he thought the council would be
a forum for discussion and co-
operation.
The concept expanded into a
three-way split with room for
political elements with the
publication of the controversial
Mustard Report. The task
force study endorsed the
district health council idea, Dr.
Mills said.
The latest development in the
concept is what Dr. Mills calls
"Mr. Miller's black book."
Entitled "Action Centre in
Ontario's Health Care
Delivery", the pamphlet
outlines the basic philosophy
behind the concept and
provides general guidance on
the goals, composition,
organization, function and
authority of the council.
"This is what health care is
going to be in the future in
Ontario," Dr. Mills said.
' Based on the information in
the pamphlet, the first step in
the organization of district

health councils will be the
establishment of a "steering
committee". It would be a
small group of persons involved
or interested in health care.
The initiative could come from
within the community or be
imposed by the area planning
co-ordinator.
The steering committee
would then be expected to work
toward the u:ti mate formation.
of a district health council for
the designated area by
nominating members to the
council and providing basic.
guidelines. The coun-
cilemembers would be
ultimately appointed by the
Ministry of Health on the
recommendation of the
steering committee.
The 28 -page pamphlet is
general in its outlook, avoiding
specifics that will be issued by
the ministry at a later time.
Dr. Mills said, however, that
talks on this concept for the
area have already been in-
itiated. He explained that the
geographic boundaries
suggested but not yet approved
would encompass Huron -Perth
counties.
Dr. Mills cautioned that the
council would not be only an
advisory group, but would
eventually have legislated
authority.
"The hospital boards will
stay but they will be tempered
by district health council
decisions," he said.
He quoted a remark by
Minister Frank Miller:
"Initially, we feel that district
health councils should be ad-
visory, but this does not mean
that they wiill have no power.
So far as the Ministry is cnn-
cerned, all programs submitted
to the Ministry for approval
will need to have the approval
of the health planning council."
The jurisdiction of the council
would extend to budget ap-
proval, Dr. Mills said.
Several 'copies of the pam-
phlet were made available to
members of the auxiliary, but
Dr. Mills said the publication
was hard to get.
Also present at the luncheon
were Norman Hayes, executive
director of the Wingham and
District Hospital; -
