doctor is the best in the world
but yours is a scoundrel and
you think yours is the best in
the world and that Aline is a
scoundrel. 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.

Junior Farmers help with
century farm research
ivery of health services to
various population groups. In.
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.
The next time our elected
friends begin Halo Polishing
and Doctor Hammering, you
will be able to recognize this
activity for what it is. My
