The Exeter Times-Advocate, 1976-09-30, Page 17W Sylvania Standard, 40-60- LIGHT 100 Watt BULBS Pkg.• of 2 2/89' A council's role is to set priorities, and plan for local health needs, he said. A council in Huron-Perth would likely have a budget of about $75,000, a small permanent staff and 15 councillors appointed by the province on the recom- mendation of the steering committee. Roughly, six coun- cillors would be from the health Care field, six would be con- sumers and three would be local government representatives. Dr. McGregor said that many people are asking the steering committee why the councils are being set up. "People are asking fun- damental questions, like what's wrong with our present system," he said, but the ministry was not providing the answers. Dr, McGregor predicted local. councils will be made to take the blame for poor provincial decisions and will form another level of bureaucracy, "I'm not going to deny it's another bureaucracy," Mr. Skorcz said, "but bureaucracies are not necessarily bad in themselves," • They can be justified, he said, if they improve decision-making and "help us spend the health dollars more effectively." This year, councils cost 0.3 million which is a tenth of the provnce's health care budget, Mr. Skorcz said, and have probably saved more than their cost already. Also speaking at the meeting was Lloyd Morrison of St. Mary's, chairman of the health council steering committee, Dr. Frank Mills, Huron County medical officer of health, and Gwen Pemberton, a consumer representative from Bayfield, Mr. Morrison pointed out after Dr. McGregor's speech that the committee was there to hear comments from the group of about 50 people 'at the meeting, and hadn't made up its own mind about need for a council. Those at the meeting were asked to fill out a ballot stating their preference on the health council question. Dr. Mills laid the ballots will be used as a rough poll by the committee. ut H SU PE R ! • R FO • su su 4 a O ge 0 cc ru m. 06 4 ILI ag 4 a 0 og 0 • • Cottonelle Aylmer, Fancy BATHROOM TOMATO TISSUE JUICE 4 roll pkg. 99' 48. 59' Case of 24 tins Pepsi Cola '3.89 e—W at 4 a 0 ec ele gra a. 4 ad Aylmer TOMATOES 28 oz. tin 53' aid 4 0 41 eg 4 erg APPLES MUSHROOMS Ontario No, 1 White CARROTS , RADISHES Fancy Macs 3 lb. 75 4 lb, 894 Ontario No. 1, 3 lb. 35 4 Ontario Grown, 1 lb. bag 394 0 2 O qhe exelerZinesativocate A&H SUPERIOR FOOD MARKET A&H SUPERIOR FOOD MARKET A&H SUPERIOR FOOD MARKET Times-Advocate, September OP, 1976 Page 17 Area county residents to have little choice in decision on health councils Residents of Huron and Perth counties have little choice in deciding whether to form a district health council, a member of the health council steering committee for the two counties said Tuesday. Dr. J.K. McGregor, a Wingham surgeon, told a public meeting called to discuss the question that the counties will either join together or split and go with existing councils in the north or south. He said if the counties decide against forming a council, the ministry of health would force them into one eventually, "I'm resigned to it," he said, suggesting the counties find the best compromise. The Clinton meeting was the first of a • series of public in- formation sessions organized by the steering committee. They will alternate between Huron and Perth communities during the next few months. Stephen Skorcz, a health ministry official, told the meeting the ministry does not plan to push any areas into a council, "I think the minister has been quite clear that communities will not be forced," he said, but added that if in five years there is one community that is not included in a district health council, the ministry would act. He said existing health councils are working well, and the ministry has spent a lot of time and money encouraging them. It is unlikely the ministry would leave one community out of the system, he said. Mr. Skorcz said the creation of councils is snowballing in Ontario. The first was set up in 1973 in Ottawa, and there are 15 looking after 80 percent of the population outside of Toronto. He predicted there will be 18 councils by the end of the year. Mr. Skorcz said councils are being set up as an intermediate step between local agencies and the ministry. Without them, he said, about 800 separate bodies nius't"appeal' directly to ' the ' ininistrY. By MRS. E.

It is surprising with the large population that everyone has enough to eat, Mr. Haas was impressed with the large crowds in the cities, he described this as Wall-to-Wall people. Every available space was used to grow vegetables, where we would have lawns, the Chinese have vegetable patches, even among the flowersin the Parks. Food and nourishment is the prime consideration, nothing is wasted, garbage is collected, recycled and put back on the land as fertilizer. Care of children and their education is of utmost im- portance, at school their special talents are discovered and developed, they are discouraged from eating junk foods, such as potato chips, peanuts and soft drinks, etc, and all the children look so healthy, To talk politics is taboo, if you are a visitor. The party visited one of the large Communes,or a large farm area that supports 50,000 people agriculturely, this way these are operated was explained, there are the top executives, then the managers or teams that they are called, then the workers themselves.
