Trim Health Unit Budget
Huron County Board of Health
Chairman Everett McIlwain and
• his comm ttee failed Wednesday
to get then essary approval to
finance their roposed budget of
.$276;306,ifor health purposes in
.19701,
' Members • of Huron County
• Council' had viewed the first
health budget in February. They
had turned it back to committee
for further study l indicating that
costs were "too high" for rate-
payers in Huron County.
The budget was presented
again Wednesday at the March
session of county council, cut by
$2,000, the funds allocated for a
summer assistant in the field of
public health.
After two hours and a clause
by clause investigation of the
health budget, county council had
trimmed an additional $25,600 out
of the budget including all the new
program proposed for 1970 as
well as some previously approved
program which had still not been
put In force. •
New program deleted from the
budget included $4,000 for a ger-
iatric nurse to deal with the
.4roblems of the aad, $4,500.for
a public health nurse to work ex-
clusively with addiction problems
and $700 estimated travelling ex-
penses for these two employees.
kt should be noted that these
salaries represent the costs for
only part of a year and that if the
program had been implemented,
full year salaries would have
shown up as an increase in next
year's health budget.
Also cut from the budget was
a proposal to hire another public
health, inspector at $3,500 (again
representing only a part-year
salary; an estimated $1,100
travelling expenses for that in-
spector; $5,000 (part year) for a
public health dentist; $4,500 (part
year) fora dental hygienist; $300
travel expenses for this dental
team; • and $2,000 for dental equip-
ment.
GERIATRIC NURSE
Dr. G.P.A.Evans told county
council members that a geriatric
nurse working in Huron would
counsel the „elderly concerning
diet, health, recreation, etc., ar-
range for them a lialpn with
other agencies for which they had
need and provide, in some cases,
a vital link with the outside world.
"There have been many
examples in recent weeks that
the value of such a person (ger-
iatric nurse) would be more than
• amply justified," argued Dr.
Evans.
Reeve Harold Robinson of
Tlowick said that with,OMSIP and
the county-s home for the agecl at
Clinton, he could not agree that
Huron County was neglecting its
senior citizens.
Dr. Evans reminded Robinson
that elderly people should be
assisted to remain in their own
homes as long as possible.
"Old age should be as plea-
sant and as free from worry as
possible," Dr. Evans said.
Charles Thomas, Reeve of
Grey, noted that the $4,000 item
in the budget for a geriatric nurse
didn't present a true pictuire of the
costs. He said a full y9ar salary
would amount' tot at 16ast $6,000
plus travelling expenses.
DRUG ADDICTION
James Hayter, Reeve of Ste-
phen Township, asked,Dr. Evans
if one of the public health nurses
presently on staff in the county
could not receive a special course
concerning the problems of
addiction, and provide a service
to the. county in this capacity until
funds would permit this phase of
the work to become a full time
position.
Dr. Evans said the board of
health had attempted last year to
send a nurse on course but had
been unsuccessful beau se the
course was full.
PUBLIC HEALTH INSPECTORS
Huron County public health
inspectors came under close
scrutiny at Wednesday's session.
Noting that the budget called
for the hiring of two additional
public health inspectors, Stanley
Deputy-Reeve Anson McKinley
asked why the county had need of
"two. more highly trained inspec-
tors within a year".
Dr. Evans explained that the
public health inspection depart-
ment has been grossly under 7
staffed until now. R,B.COusins,
Reeve of Brussels, told council
the county inspectors are doing,
more work that was once a
provincial jurisdiction.
Harry Worsell, Reeve of
Goderich and a plumber, ques-
tioned whether it would not be
wiser for the county to employ
retired experienced plumbers as
plumbing inspectors rather than
to engage "these young fellows
right out of school" to inspect
plumbing jobs about which their
knowledge was ,limited.
'He .was told 'that a dual-pur-
pose inspector was deemed of
more. value to the county.
Worsell argued that the
county's two senior inspectors
Were "pretty full time" on
plumbing inspections now. The
.Goderich reeve also suggested
that the inspections done ,in eat-
ing establishments would be bet-
ter done by a plumber who would
inspect the real germ source,
the drains, etc: rather than just
taking a smear of the washed
dishes.
In the health budget submitted
to council Wednesday, the board
of health had explained that it had
a "moral obligation" to engage
an inspector who is presently
taking a Public Health Inspection
course at Ryerson sponsored by
the Huron County Health Unit.
Jack Alexander, Wingham
reeve said, "Moral obligation
doesn't cut much ice with me. If
we haven't got a job for him, if
we don't need him, we have no
moral obligation to find him a
job."
The Easter Cantata "Our
Living Lord" presented by the
Northside United Church choir
on Good Friday evening proved
to be a lovely and worshipful
hour of music deeply appreciated
by a large and attentive audience
representing the churches in the
community. Duet and solo parts
were taken by Mr. Sam Scott,
Mr. Ernest Williams, Mr. Mi-
lian Campbell, Mrs. Robert Mc-
Kercher and Mr. James Stewart.
On Easter Sunday morning
worship •• the junior and senior
choirs filled the chancel and led
in the joyous Easter praise. The
junior choir, under the very ca-
pable leadership of Mrs. Jack
McLlwain, sang "Ride on King
Jesus" by R. Johnston and "On
Wings of Living Light" by R. C.
Wilson, with Miss Dawn Wood
as soloist.
The senior choir sang the
lovely 'Easter anthem "Christ
the Lord is Risen Today" by
Wolff, under the leadership of
Mr. James Stewart. Mrs. Stewart
presided at the organ for both
AS intelligent men, we should
delay this program until our fin-
ancial situation is improvedi!'".
remarked Seaforth Deputy-Reeve
Wilmer Cuthill.
"The line must be drawn
somewhere," added AllanCamp-
bell, McKillpp. •
Reeve rry Boyle, Exeter,
reminded council that the number
of eating establishments in Huron
is increasing. Hayfield Reeve
Ed. Oddleifson said that more
building is going on and therefore,
more inspections are needed.
Seaforth Reeve John Flannery
said that if the present tight
money situation continues as it is
expected to do, the amount of
construction will drop sharpfr.
choirs in her very capable way.
The Easter sermon was on
the "Big If", I Cor. .15:19 1 - a
thought-provoking and inspiring
message. on the Christian hope
in the Resurrection.
