Farmers asked
to withhold
dead stock
Beef and pork farmers were asked not to
give their dead stock to stock removal
companies but make other arrangements,in
a proposal in a resolution adopted last
week at the annual meeting of the Huron
County Federation of Agriculture Thursday
night,
The resolution, sponsored by Mason
Bailey of Blyth, pointed out that the meat
from dead animals finds its way into
commercial use in pct food and feed for
mink farms. If this meat was withheld, he
said, processors would have to use meat
from regular sources, such as from older
animals put on the market.
The resolution pointed out that beef
producers are facing hard times and
governments seem unwilling to help. Mr.
Bailey said that as much as it would help
through opening new beef markets, the
move would be helpful by gaining publicity ,
that would be helpful in trying to get help
for the farmers.
"The pen is mightier than the sword,"
he said, and the farmers had better start
learning how to use the pen.
George Colclough of Clinton said he felt
the proposal was impractical and blamed
the whole present situation on the Ontario
Government which was giving special
incentives to farmers to get into. the
cow -calf business two years ago. The
government, he said, precipitated the
present beef surplus by its actions.
"If you're going to encourage a man to
get in, you'd better be prepared to,take his
product," he said. He said the incentive
grants only hurt those who were already
in the cow calf business.
Others • disagreed with the resolution
asking what practical waythere was of
getting rid of dead animals if they weren't
given, away. Several pointed out ,that .:
would cost a good deal to hire a backhoe to"'
bury the animals. Mr. Bailey said it would
pay the farmers in the long run if they paid
to bury the animals at a central point rather
than give them away.
Beverly Brown of Turnberry township

needed the publicity.. A '•former Toronto

Mills blasts Mustard report recommendations A second resolution passed virtually
BY SHIRLEY J. KELLER
A summary of the controversial Mustard
Report was prepared by Dr.' Frank Mills,
Huron County Medical Officer of Health,
and presented to each member of county
council at the regular monthly meeting
Friday, October 25 in Goderich.
"I think it is an excellent summary of the
report and I urge each member of council
to read it carefully so you wi11 be fully
aware of the possible implications involved
if the report should ever be adopted by the
provincial government," Clerk -treasurer,
John Berry told council,
He also predicted it will be "difficult to

in place of the old nomination meeting,
most local municipalities will now hold' an
open ratepayers meeting to hear a report
on the past year's business. Blyth will hold
such a meeting the night before
nominations open on November 6 with the
meeting at 8 p.m. in Memorial Hall.
East Wawanosh will hold a meeting the
same evening at the Belgrave Community
Centre at 8:30.
Hullett will hold its meeting on the last
day of the nomination period on November
12 in Lundesboro.

get financing for capital expenditures" at
the five county hospitals from now on. Mr.
Berry gave as an example the "long and
tedious" effort by the board at Alexandra
Marine and General Hospital in Goderich
to obtain permission to building additional
emergency facilities there.
"If the report is implemented," warned
Mr. Berry, "we will be looking to larger
hospitals."
He asked county councillors to "stand up
for Huron County and its hospitals".
Ed Oddleifson, reeve of Bayfield, also
voiced concern that if the criteria set out in
the Mustard Report was adopted, there
could be a "reduction of supported medical
centres from five to three".
"If there is any reduction in grants to
any particular hospital, we should object
strenuously," said Mr. Oddleifson, "We
should be very, very militant 'about it."
He said in his opinion, Huron had an
excellent medical setup for a rural county
and noted the five hospitals were adequate
and serving a need here.
The planning board was given permis-
sion to engage another planner for the year
1975. This additional personnel would
assist the present staff to expedite zoning
bylaws at the local level.
James Mair of Morris, chairman of the
planning board, told council that the
further the county goes .with planning, the
greater the need for secondary plans and
zoning bylaws.
"Some of the problems we've encounter-
ed might have been handled easier if we'd
had more zoning bylaws in the county,"
said Mr. Mair.
He termed it "regrettable" that the
planning budget would have to be
considerably increased to meet the salary
of an additional staffer. It was estimated
that an additional $18,000 would have to go
into the budget to finance the extra
expense.
Stan Profit, deputy -reeve of Goderich,
asked why municipalities don't hire their
own planning consultants if the need for
secondary plans is so great.
He was told it was costlier for a
municipality to engage their own planning
staff. It was also pointed out that it had
been agreed that the county would provide
the planning staff to assist the municipali-
ties to ensure a total planning concept for
Huron.
"Possibly we need a little more overall
planning," said Mr. Mair.
it was noted that some of the greatest
planning problems arise "where town and
township meet".
Fortune again heads

Doug Fortune of Wingham again heads
the Huron County Federation of Agricul-
ture following the annual meeting of the
Federation held Thursday night in Clinton.
Mr. Fortune was named for a second
one-year term as president of the
2200 -member organization by acclamation.
Returned by acclamation as vice-president
was Adrian Vos of Blyth with Vince Austin
of Dungannon named second vice-presi-

without comment. It called for an inquiry
into the profit margin's of manufacturers
and distributors of fertilizer due to the
"dramatic" price: increases in fertilizers
in the past year.
Guest speaker at the meeting was Dr.
Donald J. Blackburn from the University of
Guelph who discussed our changing
society and the need for more citizen
involvement in decision making. He said
we seem to be moving toward welfare
state -ism with all special interest groups
wanting special attention. We now have to
worry about the "overload factor" he said,
since it is hard for officials to. cope with all
decisions they face. .
We are in the midst' of a cultural
revolution, he said with*w; social. norms
everyday. People feel ;;i . powerless to
influence change and thus the threat of
violence arises.•
The time has come, :he'. said, ' to
re-examine our old "grassroots" organiza-
tion. People learn by participation he said.
They accept decisions more readily if they
have had some part in forming ' the
decision. This, combined with the rising
level of education makes it important that
there be more extensive citizen participa-
tion.
Citizen participation; he said, was the
most economical and cost effective manner
of decision making, he said, because even
though citizen particpation niay slow down
decision making, it can -point up
weaknesses and, in the long run, save
money.
Somehow, he said, we've got to conte up
with a better system that allows more
participation. Present public hearings on
most big projects, he said, are just
tokenism.

Letter to the editor
TO THE EDITOR:
We so called "jack asses" of
Blyth wouldn't be on the streets
at 10:30 or on if there was a place
for youths to go.
Sure we know that some
children who don't know how to
act, steal tomatoes from peoples
gardens, kick down doors and
throw stones etc. But this mostly
includes Public school students
who don't have anything
"better" to do. What have we got
to do but stand around on main
street. At one time we didn't have
to stand around on main street
because The Huron Grill, former-
ly owned by Mr. Jim Seid, was
open to the youths of Blyth. Then
when he left there was no place
for us to go. So naturally everyone
stands around on the street. In
other towns you can go through
and you don't see kids standing
around on the street because
there is someplace for them to go.
What the youths need is some
kind of recreation. Someone
should re -open the restaurant and
do repairs to the bowling alley so
we could have some decent
bowling, We could also have
more dances for the young
people.
With some kind of recreation
here in Blyth it could keep us
youths occupied.

THE BLYTH STANDARD, OCTOBER 30, 1974. PG, 3.
Medical Officer of Health criticizes Mustard Report
Dr. G. F. Mills, Medical
Officer of Health for Huron
County has studied the Mustard
report of the Health Planning
Task Force and has reached the
conclusion it is "a disaster to
health care in Ontario." In the
following article he outlines the
dangers and his objections to the
reports.
The Mustard Report is a report
of the Health Planning Task
Force, a group headed by Dr, J.
F. Mustard. This group was
appointed in late 1972 to do a
comprehensive study of the
health Are delivery system in
Ontario particularly in regard to
the reorganization. plan of the
Ministry of Health that had been
presented early in 1970.
The Mustard Report is totally
destructive of the health care
delivery system as it presently
exists in Ontario. It is modeled on
the National Health Service of
Great Britain, and it is far more
restrictive to patient and physi-
cian than the National Health
Service of Great Britain.
The Mustard Report hinges on
the establishment of three dis-
tinct segments of health care;
•1. Community Health Centres
•2. District Health Councils
•3, Arca Health Services
Management Board
First is the Community Health
Centre which is a facility built on
a population basis of one for every
15,000 people, i.e., in Huron
County with a population of
52,000, there would be three
Community Health Centres locat-
ed in geographically central
positions. All medical care will be
given through the Community
Health Centres,
Community Health Centres will
house all of the health profes-
sionals in the area, that is,
physicians, nurses, social
workers, family counsellors,
public health nurses, dentists,
etc, At a Community Health
Centre, a sick person will first
have to deal with an intermediary
person who will decide whether
they need to see a doctor, a nurse,
or any of the people listed above.
(This barrier to physician -patient
relation has never been found in
Canada before and is unaccept-
able to general public most of
whom feel that once they have
made up their mind to visit a .
physician, they would be annoyed
to be channeled t9 another health
profession without choice.)
Community Health Centres
must be built by local funding
according to information from the
Ministry of health over the past
two years.- The formation of
Community Health Centres in-
volves the development of a
public transportation system for
the Health Centre which again
must be developed and funded
locally, but as indicated in the
Mustard Report, free transporta-
tion must be provided to the
Community Health Centres.
The second main segment is
the formation of the District
Health Council. (In 1972 the
original re -organization plan of
the Ministry of Health indicated
that a District. Health Council.
would be required and that it
would be composed of represent-
atives from the health profes-
sions; a physician, a nurse, a
hospital representative, a dental
representative, each one of the
health professions, and an equal
number of interested consumers,
These together would make up a
District Health Council with the
intent of co-ordinating and
integrating health services within
the arca they serve.) However,
the Mustard Report has re-
vamped the Health Council, has
removed any health professional
membership on it, and simply
states • that the District Health
Council would be appointed by
statute composed of ten mambers
who must have no relation to the
health professions and no health
professional background.
The District Health Council
which has been suggested for .
Huron County would include
Huron, Perth, Oxford, Elgin,
Middlesex and London with a
total population of 550,000, and
as can easily be sten, the
possibility of a voice from Huron
being heard in such a large
population arca is remote.
The District Health Council is a
very important part of the plan. It
is advisory to the Minister and the
Ministry. it must meet with all
voluntary agencies and work with
all social and community service
agencies, It is required to form
the following committees;
• 1, A District Health Services
Advisory Committee
02. A District Primary Care
Committee and a District Primary
Care Advisory Committee
03. A District Secondary Care
Committee and a District Second-
ary Care Advisory Committee
•4. A District Committee on
Diagnostic Services
05. An Arca Health Services
Advisory Committee
•6. A Planning Committee
•7. A Facilities Committee
•8. An Education Committee
09. A Community Relations
Committee
One must bear in mind that all
of these committees plus the
District Health Council arc purely
voluntary, (without pay) must
meet regularly and often ,involve
the members of the health
manpower teams. A committee
structure such as this is almost
impossible, not only because of
the difficulty of finding people to
serve voluntarily on these
committees, but also because of
the number of meetings that must
be held by these committees
secondary to the District Health
Council. •
It has been computed that in
Ontario the committee structure
as stated would require 4,800
voluntary workers plus an addi-
tional 200 paid positions of
secretarial and administrative to
operate these committee struc-
tures. This is not in keeping with
any attempt to reduce healthy
care costs which was the original
intent of the reorganization plan.
We must also deal with another
very important part of the District
Health Council and that is; it is
directed to form an Area Health
Services Management Board
which will be discussed in the
next item.
The third segment then involv-
ed in the Mustard Report is the
Area Health Services Manage-
ment Board. This is a very
powerful body which will operate
either one or a number of
institutions depending on the size
and the population. The Area
Health Services Management
Board will replace all. existing
hospital boards and many have
representation from the existing
hospital boards but does not have
to. It again is appointed through
the Minister's office, The Area
Health Services Management
Board not only will operate the
hospitals in the arca, but will also
decide on the number of
physicians present in the arca and
surveillance on the quota system
for physicians within the arca,
This is something that we must
think of also, that there will be a
quota system for physicians for
our area as with all areas; that the
number will be present on a
population basis as yet to be
determined; that we may face a
reduction of physicians on a
population base, because al-
though we are large in area, we
are small in population numbers.
A physician may not come into an
arca to practice unless there is a
vacancy in the quota system for
the arca. If he decides to cone
into the arca and practice
regardless of the openings, he
will not be supported by O.H.I.P.,
and this is stated clearly in the
Mustard Report. "No O,H.1.P.
payments for a physician who
practices outside of the quota
system and where there is no
vacancy available in the area,"
Another important implication
of the Area Health Services
Management Board is in regard
to our hospitals. The Minister of
Health, at a meeting of the
Ontario Hospital Association in
Sault Ste. Marie in September of
1974, stated that the optimum
size for a hospital to operate
efficiently was 300 beds, and that
we should aim for this figure.
This, of course, has great
importance to Huron County
where we have five municipal
hospitals with a total of a little
over 400 beds and concluding
from the Minister's remarks, we
would have to say that in Huron
County, we would be left with one
300 bed hospital at • the most.
From this, we see that the five
municipal hospitals are, going .to
have to reduce in number, and
the implication is that some of
these hospitals will indeed be
closed.
Another sad thing about _the
hospitals is the dissolution of the
hospital boards. Over the years,
hospital board members have
been a dedicated and interested
group, have given many hours of
service to the community hospi-
tals to develop them and make
then a great service to our
community. It has even been
noted that over the years many of
the community hospitals have
been endowed from former
voluntary hospital .board
members. Indeed, some of the
larger city hospitals have had
generous endowments from form-
er board members. Again,
voluntary effort.has not only built

our hospitals and made them
what they arc today but in some
cases, it even led to financial
support through endowment after
death, This appears to be totally
forgotten, and this will certainly
pass if the Mustard Report is
implemented,
Now in speaking to nfany
groups recently and trying to give
them some idca, some under-
standing of the Mustard Report,
something that they can so -to -
speak, "pin down" in their own
mind, 1 have come up with a
number of dangers in the
Mustard Report that will be
actualities if the Mustard Report
is implemented. The dangers can
be divided into;
•1. Consumer Dangers
•2. Hospital Dangers
•3. Professional Dangers
•4. Political Dangers
CONSUMER DANGERS
The consumer overall will have
a low -quality health care system.
The implications of the Mustard
Report would indicate there will
be few doctors for the areas, there
will be fewer hospitals for the
areas, there will be distance to
travel to medical care and the
type of h9alth care that you
receive wiX determined by an
intermediary person of non-
professional standing. Consumer
dangers also must include the
tremendous increase in costs; the
obvious costs being the cost of
building Community Health
Centres, the cost of the develop-
ing a free transportation system
to the Community Health Centres
the cost of operating the
tremendous committee structure
with 4,800 volunteers and 200
additional civil service positions.
There is no doubt that the
taxpayer will suffer, that there
will indeed be a tremendous
increase in the cost of the new
health care delivery system as
presented in the Mustard Report.
DANGERS TO THE HOSPITALS
1 must again state that there is
every indication that there will be
indeed fewer hospitals, that
hospitals must be of a 300 bed
size, that there will be one
appointed board for several
hospitals, that is the Area Health
Services Management Board,
that there will be only special
services of a limited type in the
community hospital that is
allowed to remain, and that most
of the more specialized services
will have to be obtained in the
catchment area of the more
specialized services will have to
be obtained in the catchment arca
of the large London health arca.

Holding the
purse strings
Provincial treasurer John White last week named Ontario
municipalities that there. would be no further "handouts", from the
provincial government this year.
Mr. White made the statement at the annual conference of the
Association of Counties and Regions of Ontario. It's another example
of how the Ontario government likes to pull the strings and make all
local governments do just what the government wants.
Mr. White makes it sound like the municipalities have been on a
wild spending binge. Yet there has been no more efficient form of
government anywhere than the municipalities when on compares the
money spent -to the service received. If there has been an increase in
expenditure it can generally be put down to one of two reasons:
inflation, and new regulations dreamed up by the provincial
governmest which have increased the cost of running local
governments.
If municipal expenditure has increased, it has increased most in
those areas of the province where the government imposed regional
government. It has also increased because of new welfare systems
imposed by the province. By tougher controls on garbage disposal
systems. By a hundred and one little things that the government has
demanded that has helped add to the cost of local government.
it sounds ludicrous to hear Mr. White lecturing the municipalities on
their expenditure when the province has had the fastest growing
expenses of any level of government; when it increased our cost by
imposing county school boards; and is going to make it even worse by
shoving the Mustard report recommendations on health care reform
down our throats.
if there is cost cutting to be done, the first place it should be done is
at the provincial level where we could cut out a good deal of the
bureacracy, and a heck of a lot of the idiotic ideas that just cost us more
and more and more.
Now's the time
for action
Consumer groups, opposition politicians and trade unions have lined
up to blast the farm marketing boards en masse in the past few weeks.
Now is their chance to do something about the situation.
The anti -marketing board segment of society has preached that
marketing boards are wrong because they restrict production. Every
critic begins his salvo by saying: "Farmers deserve a decent income
but..." and proceeds to denounce marketing boards which attempt to
give farmers a decent income.
One of the farmproducts which is not regulated by marketing boards
is the production of beef. Because there is no marketing, beef has gone
through the traditional boom and bust cycle of high production and low
prices followed by production cutbacks and high prices.
Consumers have argued that there is a better way than marketing'
boards and now is their chance to prove it in the beef industry. Beef
producers are facing high costs and their prices .have dropped
disastrously. They need help immediately or many will be.forced out of
business, brining on a shortage situation all over again. Consumers
who argue against production controls on the basis that it is denying
food to starving millions around the world, should now be fighting hard
to have the surplus beef purchased by the government or by voluntary
agencies and shipped to people around the world who need the food.
It would be nice to see this happen both for the starving people
around the world and for the farmers who would not see their prices hit
rock bottom because there would no longer be a surplus to depress the
market.
It would be nice...but it won't happen.
It won't happen because despite all the beautiful talk about saving
the starving millions, consumer groups really want destruction of
marketing boards for just the reason we're now seeing, that surplusses
will mean low prices.
Unfortunately for the consumer, however, the days of cheap food are
over as we're seeing now. Farmers are going broke, but the prices of
meat on the supermarket shelf is not dropping. Destroying marketing
boards will only make the situation worse.
Journalism at its best
The CTV network on its W5 program on Sunday evening showed us
journalism at its best.
The program featured interviewer Carole Taylor talking with
Margaret Trudeau about her life in general and her recent psychiatric
treatment in particular.
Margaret Trudeau, like her husband the Prime Minister, is a person
much in.the glare of the news spotlight, but hardly known at all by the
Canadian people...or at least she wasn't before her appearance on the
program. Mrs. Trudeau is a very quiet, private person but under the
gentle questioning of Mrs. Taylor, she opened up her life for the
Canadian people and gave us one of those rare, truely intimate looks at
another human being. Seldom, in our fast -paced world, do we ever get
to hear the intermost fears and dreams of another person,_ even our
next door neighbour, let alone the Prime Minister's wife.
Mrs. Trudeau has already been hailed for her open admission that
she was under psychiatric care. Many have pointed out that by her
candid discussion of her problems, she has made it easier for
Canadians to accept the fact that mental illness is just as much a part of
life as physcial illness,
Now she has served tis again by letting us know a little of the
pressures the nation's first family must undergo...from constantly
being in the spotlight to the fact one can never be alone outside the
prime ministerial residence, to the fact that one suddenly has a,staff of
10 servants which they may not know what to do with, to the fact that
there is little time left after official business for a husband and wife to
be a husband and wife. She showed us her fears for her children
growing up in an envir(.nment where they are always protected by
security men. She showed us, in short, that there are real human
beings behind the faces in the front page pictures, that these humans
have the same hopes and fears, the same strengths and weaknesses,
the same everyday problems that we have, but with the added pressure
of being the most famous family in Canada.

A ditch full of cat tails
Oh, what a beautiful day
BY BILL SMILEY
IT'S a fine, nay, a beautiful
October day, and I have a fine,
nay a beautiful feeling inside me.
I've just spent a weekend with my
grandbabby. The experience was
enough to make me feel that the
daily grind, which seems to be
grindier and grindier might be
worthwhile after all.,
The Jews have a saying, in one
of their books, that killing a man
is a terrible thing, because you
are not only killing him, but the
sons he might have and the sons
they might have and so on and on,
1 think this is a fine thought.
This would apply equally to
killing a woman, though the Old
Testament Jews were not exactly
sold on Women's Lib.
If I had been killed in the war,
and there was a good chance I
would be, that grandbab would
not exist, and the whole world
would be poorer. I'm not kidding.
The existence of so much
delight and charm and laughter
and love, all wrapped up in one
perfectly formed nine-month old
creation, restores my faith, which
at times becomes a little tattered
around the edges, in God.
Man alone, with all his gifts,
could never devise the shine in
that child's eyes, the mischievous
two -tooth grin, the sinuosity of
muscle, the incredible endurance.
The urchin is living proof to me
that humans have a soul, a will, a
spirit. Technology can put to-
gether a computer, but it can't
begin to create, or even imitate,
the glory that it a baby.
1 can imagine man devising a
machine which could reproduce
the sonorous lines of Milton, the
fantastic fancy of Shakespeare,
but there would always be
something missing.
Computers are clean things.
They don't have to go to the
bathroom. They don't have
underarm problems. No corns or
constipation, arthritis or acne,
piles or pimples. But something is
missing. Soul? Maybe.
I'm not trying to foist upon you
the idea that my grandson is
perfect, or a genius, even though
he is. I'm merely trying to remind
you, if you have grandchildren, of
what a joy they are, and if you
now have only rotten kids, you
have a precious experience in
store for your nether years.
My grandbab is not the most
beautiful child in the world. He'd
probably come in second, or even
third, in an international Beauti-
ful Baby contest.
And he's not the smartest. I
discovered this last summer, at
the beach. He'd sit there, stark
naked, pick up a handful of sand,
and pour it over his left ear.
Never his right. It was a lot of
trouble, getting that sand out of
his ear. And he liked to eat sand,
was delighted if he got a handful
with a stone in it, for chewing.
But he's got his grandfather's
genes, Which make him intelli-
gent, charming, lovable, and
pretty well all-round perfect, as I
point out to my wife.
Unfortunately, he has his
mother's jeans, as well, Which
make him bad-tempered when
crossed, make him knock over
anything that's over-knockable.
But also give him eyes like two
huge dark grapes, a sense of
humour, and a smile like a
Christmas tree when •the lights
have just been plugged in.
I have no trouble coping with
him, when he spends a visit, All 1
do is make sure I've had twelve
hours sleep for the three nights
before he arrives, do extensive
calisthenics and some jogging for
three days before he arrives.
Then I'm ready for Super -Babe.
His parents are no problem.
His mother is satisfied with a
hug, a kiss, and a cheque. His
father is satisfied with a full
refrigerator, which he opens and
starts rubbing his stomach one
minute after we've shaken hands,
Then they disappear, and i
have the kid on my lap. For about
eight seconds. The he gives a
lurch, a twist, and he'd down,
crawling at about forty miles an
hour straight into the fireplace.
Luckily, I'm prepared. The
andirons are all locked away,
except the broom, which he uses
to comb his hair and ' bang his
forehead, Everything breakable,
reachable or fragile is locked in
the vestibule.
I toss a chess set on the floor.
Terrific. He picks up a rook,
crawls to the coffee table, so
carefully waxed and polished, and

For any detailed special service, I
think it is implied and can be
concluded, that we will indeed be
required to go to our catchment
area, that is to the London
University Centre,
In the hospitals also, the
danger is the lack of the voluntary
organizations. There was strong
objection registered from the
Women's Auxiliary of the Goder-
ich Hospital at the time of the
County Council discussion of the
Mustard Report indicating that
the Women's Auxiliary over the
years hadtgone out of their way,
put much effort into raising funds
to buy necessary equipment for
the hospital and to furnish the
hospital and that this type of
voluntary work should not have
been overlooked and cannot be
expected to be continued when it
becomes strictly a governmental
hospital.
At a recent meeting of District
No. 2 ot the Hospital Auxiliaries
of Ontario, it was pointed out that
in the past year $148,000.00 had
been raised by the member
auxiliaries to buy equipment and
furnishings for the hospitals in
the areas they serve, This is only
one year of many that they have
teen in existence and operation
and fund raising.
PROFESSIONAL DANGERS
As a professional myself, I
must speak for my colleagues and
say that it is obvious that there
will be a set number of doctors
and health professionals for any
arca, and that there would be no
0•H.1.P. payment for a doctor
who decides to come into the area

can't take it with you," 1 offer.
I do a lot of other wrong things.
.1 take off his wet diaper and let
him crawl around on the Indian
rug, bare bum. I sing to him
barrack -room songs that would
curdle the blood. I let him chew
my fingers. I let him pull the cat's
tail. f
And finally, after three hours of
straight action, I pull him up on
my knee, hum an original lullaby
which goes "Doo-dee-doo-dee-
doo•dee•doo," and he goes to
sleep,
Asleep, he's the utter innocent.

The Willing Workers unit of

Thursday, October 24.
The Devotional Period was in
charge of Mrs. Jas. McCall who
took as her theme, "Our Sense of
Values." Mrs. Radford read a
passage of scripture from Corin-
thians...
The program was in charge of
Mrs. McDougall. She spoke about
and showed slides of the
Maritimes Provinces,
Mrs. McCall who was born in.
New Brunswick added some
interesting information about the
province in which she spent her ,
younger years.

that the Sunshine Bags ' 'ould be

Mee!ing closed with the Miz•

George Hamm (Sr.).
when there is no vacancy on the
quota system,
1 am personally concerned too,
as a physician, with the dissolu-
tion of the doctor -patient relation,
that a barrier will be erected to
patient -doctor relation and that it
will become most unacceptable
with first of all the patient being
filtered out by an intermediary to
say whether he may or may not
see the doctor and the doctor also
being filtered out from the patient
by an intermediary who deter-
mines whether the doctor should
or should not see the patient.
We must remember also that in
the Community Health Centre
set-up, that the Health Centre
must be staffed twenty-four hours
a day with all health professionals
and that, therefore, doctors will
be on shift work and that the
possibility of the consumer seeing
his favorite physician at the time
that he is ill is remote on sheer
mathematical probability of the
patient being ill when the doctor
is on duty or on his particular shift
at the Health Centre.
Another professional danger is
THE BLYTH STANDARD, OCTOBER 30, 1974. PG. 5,
criticizes Mustard Report
the demoralizing effect that this
total report has had on hospital
staff and on all health profession-
als by making them feel that they
are no longer needed as person-
ally interested professionals look-
ing after a patient's welfare, but
rather only as push-button pawns
to do a specific technical job and
show no interest or personal
concern for the health consumer,
POLITICAL DANGERS
The loss of local control of our
health services to a more distant
body as implied in the District
Health Council for the area
encompassing the five counties
and involving the tremendous
centre of population and special-
ized health care in the university
arca of London.
A political person must be
concerned and is concerned that
there would be in practicality no
way that we would have a voice on
the Health Council when we are
only 50,000 people in a total
population of 550,000. We would
be overwhelmed and soon for-
gotten.
Many have said to me, "What
can we do," when they have read
the report and I think everyone
should avail themselves with a
copy of the report and read it,
(although it is heavy reading and
tends to give you a strong feeling
of sleepiness) bear with it, and as
you read through it you will find
the points 1 have outlined above
to be as stated. if you conclude,
as 1 have concluded, that this
proposed health care delivery
system is a disaster to health care
in Ontario and as many have
wondered what can a person do, I
certainly would urge you to sit
down and write a letter of
rejection to the Minister of
Health, to your local M.P.P.'s
and to the Premier of Ontario.
Letters of objection, letter of
rejection and letters of concern
must be sent as soon as possible if
there is to be any hope of
stopping the implementation of
this report as presented,
I have noted that when the
occasional person has objected,
he has received a watered-down
reassurance re. the Mustard
Report, such as, "Well we
THIS
wouldn't use all ot it, we will just
use part of it", but I would like to
point out that Dr. Mustard
himself has stated that there can
be no small part of the Mustard
Report omitted. it hinges to-
gether. It must be all or nothing
and certainly with what we have
in Ontario today in our health care
delivery system, it is my feeling
that we do not need the Mustard
Report,
We do not need to add
unnecessary costs to health care
and if one really is interested in
developing efficiency in the
health care system, then they
should start at the community
level and find out fronthe people
who are the consumers of health
care and the physicians and
nurses who are the people giving
the health care what can be done.
To impose a major re -organiza-
tion plan without practical experi-
ence and knowledge of health
care as it actually is at the
consumer level is an impossibility
and the Mustard Report certainly
demonstrates this in its conclu-
sions and recommendations,

Agricultural Tidbits
Water project
WITH ADRIAN VOS
The Kitchener•Waterloo region
needs water and lots of it. Their
mushrooming growth demands it
for domestic and industrial use.
Canada is the country with the
most of this resource in the entire
world. However, instead of
looking to the Great Lakes, they
want to dam the. Nith river in
Oxford county, flood about 9,000
acres of choice crop land and pipe
it into their system.
1 happen to know the Nith river
and all tough the summer there
is about as much water in it as a
good sized creek, At best it would
just help out a little bit and then
they would still have to go to a
Lake Erie pipeline. It seems from
here that people don't care one
bit about food producing land
until they themselves are hit. But
I bet that they are the same
people who holler loudest about
higher food prices.

Just to show how efficient
Ontario's farmers have become,
Ontario's farmland declined from
3.5 acres per person in 1941 to 1.4
acres now, but farm production is
higher now than it ever was,
One shouldn't think however
that there is no limit to what the
farmer can do. If the revived plan
for a power plant in Huron county
would be approved, it would
certainly mean that due to
increased traffic pollution,
hundreds of acres of white bean
land will have to be shifted to
other less protein -producing
crops.
It bothers me some that the
struggle to preserve land is left
largely to the farmers and that the

From the Minister's Study
Reformation Day
celebrated on
October '31
BY TED HOOGSTEEN
On this day the denominations with the world 'Reformed' in their
names celebrate Reformation Day. October 31, 1517 marks the
beginning of the Reformation, Rentenibrance of this day is not a crude
denominationalism but a justifiable pride in a heritage and church.
The name 'Reformed' may mislead non -thinkers to believe that all
members of these denominations have reached a state of perfection.
This is not so. We believe that the salvation in Jesus Christ leads to a
constant reformation of both persons and the world. No one in this
world is perfect, and Christians, of all people, should be more aware of
wrongdoing, of sinfulness, than any other, although with the sense of
lawbreaking, comes powerfully the forgiveness in Jesus' death and •
resurrection,
That forgiveness brings out • a constant reformation, a
transformation, of the whole person, and eventually the world. One )f
the most crippling tenets current in Christian churches is that faith
is a matter of the heart only, that Christianity has no place other than in
the very personal life of a believer. And many are gullible enough to
accept this limitation, imposed from the outside, upon Christian faith,
because, it is claimed, Christianity makes so much trouble.
If Christianity is limited to the heart, and expressible mainly in a
worship service, how drab. Only if Christianity and its believers speak
out on every issue of international, national, and local concern the faith .
in and the lordship of Jesus focus clearly; Christ is Lord of the whole
person and the entire world. a doctrine derived from Scriptures, a tenet •
applicable not only in the Churches of the Reformation but in the whole
of Christianity.

Local Children's Aid Society notes significant
changes in service
The number of families receiv-
ing counselling from Children's
Aid Societies in Ontario continued
an increase which began in 1970.
There has been a 12 per cent
increase since 1970, and at the
end of 1973 for the year was
31,203 families involving 82,318
children in their own homes.
Locally, the increase in Family
Services in the County's Child-
ren's Aid Society has been
higher. in 1970, an average of 105
families were receiving counsell-
ing services and by Spring of
1974, this figure had risen to 154
families`nvolving 359 children.
"This is an encouraging
trend," noted Local Director,
B.R. Heath, "particularly when
we can identify a simultaneous
decrease in children in care. More
importantly, family and marital
problems can be worked on at a
point in time before the situation
becomes intolerable and irrepar-
able damage done to the children.
Even when parental differences
are irreconcilable, and separation
and divorce do occur, appropriate
counselling and direction can be
given to lessen the emotional
impact on the children. Presently
we are exploring the possibility of
establishing a 'conciliation
service' in Iiasion with the Family
Court due to the increase in
hearings and referrals affecting
marriages and children before the
courts.
"There continues, however, to
be hesitation on the part of many
people in the community to report
immediately situations affecting
children which demand authorita-
tive or supervisory action by the
Children's Aid Society to effect
protective services to children,
We would be naive to think that
some children do not have to be
removed temporarily or even
permanently from parents, be-
cause of the parental inability to
cope with, or provide for their
children.
"In such circumstances, we are
extremely dependent on the
community at large to report
situations which can be described
as neglect of children, and to be
willing to come forward with
back-up evidence if a court
hearing is necessitated.. Not
wanting to 'get involved' is a
lame excuse where children are
involved, and particularly when
many such situations can be
ameliorated if the referral is made
early enough."
The number of children coming
into Children's Aid care provin-
cially has seen also a noticeable
decrease, eighteen percent be-
tween 1969 and 1972, down from
18,430 to 15,110 in the time
period. At the end of 1973 a slight
increase to 15,144 was recorded.
Locally, Huron Chidren's Aid
Society 'peaked' with children in
care at 120 in the summer of 1970
and has seen an initial decline,
and then levelling off to the
Spring of this year when 88
children remained in care. This
decrease relates to the overall
trend to return more children to
their homes, as soon as possible,
and avoid placement in the first
instance wherever possible if
alternate care or services • can be
utilized - such as homemaking
services, County Home Care
where appropriate, foster day
care, or referral to County Social
Services or provincial assistance
programmes where the expendi-
ture of some additional funds will
eliminate separation of children
from their parents.
As with the rest of the
province, the number of infants
being surrendered for adoption
has affected child care statistics,
Provincially between the ,peak
years'of 1969 when 9,748 single
mothers asked for service, and
1973 when 4,904 new cases were
recorded, this service has declin-
ed by 53 per cent, and thv: number
of children reliquished for adop-
tion declined to 2,047.
The total number of children on
adoption probation continued to
decline from 8,985 in 1969 to
4,864 ,in 1973, a decrease of 46 per
cent: Adoption applications have
trends
also decreased in the same period
by a third. The difference
between tile 2,047 infants relin-
quished for adoption and the
4,864 children on adoption
placement represents the impact
of a decided emphasis on
non -infant adoption. in the period
1968 to 1970 up to 30 babies were
on adoption probation in Huron
County at any one time.
Today, there are 19 children on
adoption placement and all of
these but six are over three years
of age.
"This is an encouraging and
dramatic change in adoption
emphasis: and, highlights the
primary philosophy of C.A.S.
adoption service of providing
homes for every child who is
legally adoptable, a swing away
from the former apparent practise,
of finding infants for families",
said Mr. Heath. "Locally, the
Board of Directors found it
necessary to amend its adoption
policy and procedures in the
Spring to defer the complete
processing of applications for
infants. All applicants are person-
ally seen, however, so that the
situation can be fully explained,
and alternatives chosen where
appropriate.
"Where we have seen the
decrease of younger children in
care, and infants on adoption,"
noted Heath, "the proportion of
teenagers in care, compared with
all other age groups has
continued to rise in close to 50 per
cent up from a thirty percent
average in 1969.
"Unfortunately", said Health,
"I know of no Children's Aid
Society in the province, including
our own, which has the resources
available to cope with the
demands place on the Society and
its traditional foster care re-
sources, Fortunately most of our
foster homes have:stuck with us'
during the time period when older
children have been coming into
care, but there has been no
expansion of foster care resources
to meet the demand,
"Presently we would want to
recruit one or two homes in the
County who would be developed
into small group setting of up to
four teenagers each, Our immed-
iate need is for a home for
teenage girls. Such a small group
setting is often the only answer
for youngsters who cannot accept
the resentment they feel in
exchanging their own parents for
foster parents. Such children
often reject both the values and
kindness of traditional foster
parents. Their anger with their
own parents for 'letting them
down' affects all their relation-
ships with adults. In practise,
many of our teenage placements
are.also short-term in nature, and
gives the staff an opportunity to
assess the situation, allow a
beginning in working through the
problems and relationships which
precipitated placement, and then
return home - hopefully with the
parents and youngster willing to
tackle the home situation with
more insight and committment to
change."

55 -page study
The impact of the Ontario
1lych•o Bruce Generating Station
on 11 13ruce•county municipalities
was the subject of a 55 page study
released in Underwood on
Monday.
The brief was boiled down from
a 400 page technical report
prepared for the Ontario Hydro
consulting firm of M.M. Dillon
Ltd.
While dealing specifically with
the II municipalities in Bruce
county which arc affected by the
project, the report also holds
interest for •Huron county resi-
dents, because of the possibility,
acknowledged by Hydro, that a
nuclear pgwer plant may be built
in Huron county on the Lakeshore.
'1'hc study showed that the
power project would increase the
net expenditures of the 11
municipalities by $2.3 million in
the next decade.
The study showed that the
towns of Port Elgin and South-
ampton were worried about the
changes in the character of their
communities. Port Elgin, Kincar-
dine and Walkerton officials arc
concerned with the increasing
crime rate as a result of the power
development.
The problems caused by the
project include labor shortages,
increased housing costs, and
increased work load for municipal
employees.
A major headache for the
municipalities is that growth
imposed on them by the power
project necessitates large capital
expenditures for new services,
yet the municipalities lack the
capacity to finance these expendi-
tures.
"New secondary employ-
ment," their study says, "is
limited to the retail," constuction
and government sectors.
"The general pattern has been
for the population to increase by
between 3.0 and 4.5 persons for
each new resident employee at
• the power plant. The multiplier is
generally higher in the towns
than in the rural areas," the
study says.
Since the power program began
in this area in the mid-1960s' the
annual average population in-
crease has been four per cent with
many of those new people in the
22 -to -44 -year-old age bracket.
Before the project the area
tended to be "older than average
for the province and the birth rate
was relatively low."
It is anticipated the population
increase will rise to six per cent
up to 1978, and that 70 to 75 per
cent of the new population growth
in southern Bruce County can be
attributed to the power project.
Among the municipal services
that politicians and their employ-
ees
mployees expect will be hard pressed by
the growth of the Bruce develop-
ment are water systems, roads,
police and fire protection and
recreation and community
services.
Almost all the population
growth and building activity in
Kincardine from 1969 until 1978
can be attributed to the Bruce
power plant, the study says.
It is estimated the town's net
expenditure, associated with this
increased growth due to the
plant, will result in a deficit of
$185,000 for the period 1973-77,
and another $260,000 for the
1978-84 period.
For Port Elgin, the picture is
almost the same, and the report
says "substantial capital works
will be necessary in the relatively
near future" to meet the
increased demands.
The expenditure figures for
Port Elgin is projected at a deficit
of $335,000 over the 1973-77
period and another $434,000 for
the 1978-84 period.
Other area municipalities face
similar financial pressure result-
ing from the development.
The_ impact of the project on
Bruce county will continue
because of plans for further
expansion of the vast complex of
power generating reactors and
heavy water plants. Earlier this
year the Ontario Energy Board
deferred a r decision. on the
expansion ter further study.
released on effect
Darcy McKeough, provincial
energy minister, said at the
meeting Monday that the expan-
THE BLYTH STANDARD, OCTOBER 30, 1974. PC. 9.
of generating station
sion will be going ahead.
Mr, McKcough also promised
compensation to the municipals•
tics for the added burdens they
fact because of the project. The
province, and the municipalities
have quarrelled before on just
how much the project had hurt
the municipalities financially.

Recipients are selected by an independent
Advisory Council of Ontario citizens whose honorary
chairman is the Lieutenant -Governor of the Province.
Anyone may nominate a person for the Ontario
Medal, and nomination forms are available by

Behind the scenes
Don't judge
BY KEITH ROULSTON
The Indians had a saying about
never judging a man until you've
walked a mile in his moccasins.
The Chinese under Moa have
gone a step further, and we in the
western world could learn from
them.
Canadians have always been
ones to jump on the other guy and
its never been more evident than
in the past year or so as inflation
has rocket tin? nation. Everyone
is looking for a culprit and the
result is there's a boogy man
under eveiw bed.
1 think this country would be a
lot more harmonious place to live
a man until you've walked
in if we could adopt some of the
Chinese system into, our own. In
China all workers have to take
sabatical every few years to work
for the state in much the way
many countries operate a military
draft program. During this
period, factory workers are
transferred to work on farms;
bureaucrats have to change place
with workers, and in general the
whole comfortable way of life
people tend to fall into is shaken
up. You literally walk in the other
man's shoes for a while,
Imagine what would happen if
we could make that happen in
Canada. Ima ine the head of
Work continues inside and outsideMemorlal Hall. Outside this week
workmen were busy erecting the bell tower. Inside, the large
auditorium looks much smaller as scaffolding crowds the space
allowing workmen to put on the new ceiling.

t
General Motors if he had to work
on his own assembly line for a few
months...imagine what changes it
might make in industrial plann-
ing,
Imagine if the fat cat bureau-
crats in Ottawa or Toronto if they
suddenly had to work in a mine in
Nova Scotia, Imagine a, big food
chain retailer if he had to work in
a pig barn for a year or so.
Our problem in Canada is that
we've become a nation of
specialists...worse still a nation of
urban specialists. Most people
work in one particular field of
work and nearly all the people
they know work in the same place
of business. They come home at
night and they hardly ever see
their neighbours so they don't
even learn about the trials and
tribulations of the neighbour's
job, The urban people seldom rub
shoulders with the country
people. and vice versa,
These walls we build up
between each other bring mis-
trust. Suddenly we're all alone
and the other guy, all those other
gut's in all those jobs we don't
know anything about, is out to get,
us.
Maybe there are boogey men in
the inflation 'situation. Maybe
somebody along the way is taking
advantage of inflation to make a
killing. But so many of the
apparent culprits are good honest
people who are struggling hard
just to keep up with spiralling
costs. I know of few farmers who
are nuking much money, 00
matter what cynics say. I know a
lot of honest retailers who aren't
having problems counting their
money: rather they're worried
that inflation just may, put
a mile
them right out of business. I
don't know the situation with the,
big food chains. 1 don't know the
situation with the oil companies. 1
don't know the situation with the
big lumber companies, the steel
companies or the paper compan-
ies, but I suspect they'd be happy
if they were making as much
money as most people claim they
are. You and I and the people we
know aren't making a killing from
inflation so why do we tend to
think everybody else is.
It's easy to criticize. It's easy to
jump on the bandwagon and
blame everybody else for ripping
you off. What's needed is a little
more understanding. What's
needed is a little more concern for
what's happening to the world; a
"little resolve that you as an
individual arc going to do your
best to help.
Sadly, we have instead, a
growing attitude of "everybody's
out to get me so 1'01 going to grab
