Crazy, isn't it. , by Dr.. Brian Lynch, MOH, • Huron County Health Unit Remember all the waffling about the date of our present Federal election? Most of us knew what was coming but our good Prime Minister tried to make it a surprise. There is a sure sign though, more reliable than your pet groundhog in February, that may help you determine the next election, Federal or Provincial, When you see this sign, you know without a shadow of doubt, that there is hot stuff soon to gush forth from Parliament. Its called, "Doctor Ham- mering." Effective and simple. Just continually manufacture legislative debate, editorial comment, and irate statements to tell the people in this country and province that the only ones responsible for the demise of our socialized health care system are the doctors. I have heard that most people like, and are satisfied with their own individual physician but'that as a group of people we suspect that there might be some truth to what we read and•hear. This is to be expected, because if something is said and written The motto of the Junior Farmers is Self Help and Community Betterment but soon they will be helping someone else out. ' Professor Josephine Meeker of the geography department at Brock Univer- sity is basing her PH. D. thesis on century farms. In a recent survey she found that Huron County had more century farms than in any of the other counties in Ontario. Since the Junior Farmers repeatedly, year after year, it usually ends up being ac- cepted. Now, why Doctor Hammer? The most obvious reason to me is that.there are some 15,000 doctors in the Prov. of Ontario which means only 15,000 votes. There 'are about 4 or 5 million other votes in the .,province. Once any service comes uncle; the protective wing of govern- ment, it then becomes a numbers game. No politician in his right mind would want to make 15,000 voters happy when he can excite the other 4 or 5 million. There are, of course, many other reasons, greed, envy, scape-goating and political power, but I think the main reason is that 15,000 .doctors, simply don't count. Why would a Medical Officer of Health stick up for doctors? All elements of health care delivery have only one purpose and that is to aid people-. In doing this the various kinds of health services are complimentary to one another. Public health does not work in isolation but with hospitals, physicians, , nurses, and all sorts of other health related groups and individuals. Public health concerns itself with the del- have done a century farm project they will assist Pro- fessor Meeker. In her survey, Professor Meeker plans to travel the county and interview century farmers to find out the type of farm, age, and reasons for staying on the farm. According to Rick Archam- bault, provincial director of the Junior FarmerS in Huron County, Professor Meeker will selid a questionaire to all the century farms and one,of the jobs of the Junior Farm- ers is to make sure the farmers get the question- naire back to her. Professor Meeker also is looking into the background of century farms. She wants all the different information such as who sold their farm lately and any information that " she doesn't have she wants the Junior Farmers to dig it up for her according to the director.

Huron' County, the pop, ulation group is around 56,000 residents,' and I am concerned, and have a right to be concerned, that physician services to the people of this county don't deteriorate.
