The Canada. Health Act puts the control
an
of health care in Ottawa's hands rather t
the province's and that will be costly. says ttia
president of the Huron County Medical
Society.
Dr. Brian Baker of Clinton, head of the
society which represents the 80 Huron
County doctors, says it is time for patients to
question their doctors and tell their member
of parliament that they don't 11,1te the
proposed act.
Dr. Baker says it is too late for the doctors
to do anything about the act which has had
two readings in the House of Commons and is
now before a committee. The Huron County—
Medical Society sent a letter outlining its
concerns, but there was'too little time to be
able to appear before the committee.
When the federal government started
ct
assisting in health funding, there was , a.
promise ,of a, 50 per cent funding,ji
between the provinces and the ederf(
governments,, 13r. Baker says his, Vire
show that' now the province is Only pa )h
about 35 percent of the health care funn
"What,. that amounts to is that ,t he
provinces will have no say in healt}p,°tr
funding," says Dr. Baker.

The Seaforth branch of the Royal
Canadian Legion won't be able to honor
Seaforth veterans who fought in the Korean
War until the Local Architectural Conserva-
tion Advisory Committee (LACAC) ap-
proves a proposal to add an inscription on
the cenotaph.
At the Mar. 13 meeting of Seaforth
council, Seaforth legion spokesman, Don
Muir said the legionlans to put an
inscription on the base of the cenotaph. "it
won't interfere with the Victoria Park
property. The branch talked of installing a
plaque, but the general feeling is they want
an inscription."
"Since the toti✓n owns the cenotaph, we
found we had to get permission before
anything was done, ' said Mr. Muir.
Victoria Park is part of the heritage
district plan. The matter should be
considered by LACAC to make sure
everything is within keeping of the plan,"

B of E combines work and school
The Perth County Board of Education
hopes to bridge the school to work gap for
some of its students through sponsorship of a
Job Corps project.
Dick Coburn, superintendent, of special
education, explained to t ustees°at their Mar.
6 meeting, that sponsofship of this program
would require no. funds froth the board.
Mr. Coburn said the,board's rnmtpitment
would involve allowing some staff lime to
prepare a job proposal for students. ,
Job Corps projects are funded by the
federal Ministry of Employment and Im-
migration. However, to get an estimated
5350,000 as. a yearly capital base for three,
years, there has to be a specific proposal. The
projects must be approved by the ministry.
Mr. Coburn said the board's special
education and morals and values consultant.,
and its attendance counsellor have volun-
teered to work together to propose exactly the
kind of job opportunities which could be done
under this project in Perth County.
Once a suitable project is developed then a
board of directors is named. Mr. Coburn .,aid
a project might be that a local factory neat
need some kind of "widgit" that is nut hcintt
manufactured in Canada.

tant, said there is a screening process
whereby students coming out of the educa-
tion system arc chosen for the Joh ('orp%

students with the goal being to give them job
experience.
Besides not competing with private enter-
prise, Mr. Coburn said the project can't
