The Brussels Post, 1973-03-21, Page 10The Canadian Red Cross Society's Blood Transfusion Service was founded in 1947. Since then runny new discoveries have been made. The use of plastic blood packs - much more convenient for storage and ship- ping than glass bottles - is nearly universal. Long term low- temperature preservation of blood is now possible. Plas- mapheresis - removing plasma from the blood by centrifuga.tion after which the cells are returned to the donor - is common pro- cedure . Automation is being used for certain laboratory tests. Computerization has simplified record keeping procedures. To- day Red Cross, a modern pioneer in blood -technology, provides Canada with all the blood and blood products it needs.

Frank Mills, Huron County's mediCal officer of health wants the, county to consider setting up .a plumbing and bnild- ing inspection department, Many residents and con- tractors have requested the service from the health unit office, Dr. Mills told the Feb- ruary session of county council. With 350 to 400 new homes going up yearly in. Huron, he said, the people paying the high prices for such homes deserve some sort of guarantee they are get- ting the quality of services and installations they are paying for. With that many homes, Dr. Mills said, you're talking about an investment of between $8 mil- lion and $10 million yearly for home, and industrial construct- ion in the county accounts for another $6 million each year, he said. There are 11 subdivisions under consideration in Huron and approval has been granted for nine of those, there is a de- finite responsibility for the county to protect these invest- ments. Local plumbers indicate ther e are a lot of "fly - by - night plumbers" coming into the county and doing a cheap job at high prices, Dr. Mills said.With- out a county inspection service, he said, there is no standard for such work to be judged on. Questioned by Reeve Charles Thomas of Grey Township about the authority of the health unit in the area of building and plumb- ing inspections, Dr. Mills as- sured him that once such a de- partment was set, up, it would be left to function on its own. plumb- ing usually involves sanitation, and poor sanitation involves health, Dr. Mills said, so the health unit .is interested in seeing such a department estab- lished in the county. Dr. Mills- suggested to council that a two-man depart- ment could get' things going - one for the north and one for the south of the county. These two county men could incorporate the inspectors the municipalities Al- ready have, he said, because they know the local situations. The service would be for residential construction only, not com - mercial or agricultural.. An inspection fee of $100 for the four-stage inspection service was suggested by Dr. Mills.Reeve William Elston of Morris Town- ship suggested that many young people building their own homes Reeve Gerry Ginn of GoderiCh - Township, calls for $324,562, an increase of about $8,000 over the 1972 budget. Employees of the unit, members. of the Canadian Union of public Employees, have settled an 18-month agreement with the county which gives them pay increases of between$ 800 and $900. It was suggested that another health inspector be added to the Staff since much of the time spent by the inspectors on staff new is spent in travelling from one point in the county to an- other, couldn't afford professionals that would do a job to meet inspection standards. Dr. Mills told him that part of the department's service would be complete literature on instal- lation requirements and standards that had to be met, and that the young people could do their own work if they wanted, as long as they followed the required standards. An inspection is good insurance on the investment in- volved in a. home, he said..
