The Home Care Program is designed to provide an alternative where practical, to hospital care by means or avoiding an admission en- tirely or by facilitating. an early discharge from an act- ive treatment hospital bed', In-home health care is aimed at improving the qual- ity of life of the patient and his family, and we believe this can be best accomp, Iished by offering support through different profession- als working together with the patient and family. Home Care is a co- ordinating service created to help meet the patient's needs at home. This program may prevent or delay the need for hospitalization or admission to a nursing home or home for the aged, or allow patients to leave hosp- ital earlier than normal. If one or more of the following services is required - Nursing, enterstomal ther- apy, physiotherapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy - thc following serv- ices may then he available as needed: Homemaking; The Homemaker is provided. only according to the need as determined by the pro- . fessional involved; and her time is gradually reduced as the patient gains indepen- dence and/or other arrange- ments .can be made,; Meals - on Wheels; Medications (as listed in the Drug Benefit Formulary); Dressings; Sick room equipment; Trans- portation.'

Effective July 1, Canad- ians weigh their mail by. grams, not ounces. Although the new Conservative is re- viewing the whole conversion program, the preparations for the post office change Corporation, ,officials say. A review of the whole conversion program has been ordered by Industry, Trade and Commerce Minister Robert de Cotret, who called the program "one big.pain in the neck.” But until such time as the 'review is completed, conver- , were too far advanced by sion to metric continues as election time to halt. The conversion to metric will allow people mailing letters to other •parts of Canada and the United States an extra two grams in first class envelopes bearing a17- tent stamp. ' In Seaforth, the post office has received its new small scale, and is waiting for the arrival of their new large gram scale. The old pound scales will be returned to the head office in London. While individual, letter writers are getting a little more weight for their money. the switch throughout the country will cost Canadian taxpayers an estimated S1.6 million. Those mailing letters formally paid 17 Cents for first class mail weighing one ounce or less. Now, we will pay 17 cents for first class, mail -weighing 30 grams or less. One ounce equals 28.1 grams. The extra two .grams allowed are a result of a rounding off of, the metric figure, say Post' Office offic- ials. But while'firit class mail inside the country was rounded off to the customer'S advantage. rates for mail travelling anywhere outside the country -except for the United States was rounded down to 20 grams under an agreement made between Canada and other countries which are members Of the Udiversal Postal Union. But the increasedcost for foreign metric Mail will be minimal, say the Post Office officials. because 93 per cern of Our Overseas letters Weigh legs than 20 grams anyway..
