The Huron County health
unit intends to carefully
monitor health conditions at
the privately owned Heather
Gardens in the future to
ensure that residents at the
Vanastra home for former
psychiatric patients get
adequate medical attention.
County medical officer of
health, Dr. Brian Lynch, told
county council Thursday
that the supervision of
medical care for the 70
residents at Heather Gar-
dens resulted from com-
plaints from a Seaforth
doctor that there was a six
month lapse in medical
supervision at the home.
Lynch, who refused to
disclose the name of the
Seaforth doctor, told council
that he checked out the
complaint about medical
attention for residents of
Heather Gardens because
the law required him to. He
told council that it was his
responsibility to ensure that
places like Heather Gardens
maintain health standards
according to provincial law.
He explained to council
that he did not want to create
the impression that Heather
Gardens was giving
residents shoddy treatment.
In fact he told council that
the co-operation he received
from the owner of the home
was "absolutely excellent"
and that he was satisfied that
residents were looked after.
Mrs. Clair Haskett, who
operates Heather Gardens,
was not upset with county
involvement. She did,
however, deny that there
was any lapse in medical
care of patients.
She explained that the
physician that regularly
attends to Heather Gardens
residents had been away and
that a doctor that filled in for
him was released. She said a
third physician, Dr. R.A.
Whitman of Seaforth had
been retained to look after
residents.
Whitman said he had seen
some residents of Heather
about a mile south of
Highway 83 and was in-
vestigated by constable Don
Mason who set damages at
$1,000,
The only other accident of
the week occurred Friday at
12:03 ,a,m. when a vehicle
driven by John Timmer-
mans, RR 4, Parkhill struck
a cattle beast on Highway
83, about four kilometres
east of Exeter.
A passenger in the pickup
truck, 16 year-old Doug
Timmermans suffered
minor injuries. Constable Al
Quinn set damages at $6,900.
The cattle beast was owned
by Larry Ballantyne.
An automobile stolen Fri-
day in Sarnia township was
recovered Sunday at 12:30
p.m. by Constable Jim
Rogers at Poplar Beach
along Highway 21.

The Huron County public
library now has books for
everyone including about
1,000 county residents that
can't read,
On Thursday Huron county
council approved the pur-
chase of 10 books specially
prepared to help illiterates
learn to read, Council in-
creased the library budget
by $120 to permit the books to
be bought immediately.
County librarian Bill
Partridge told council the
number of illiterates in
Huron county had risen
sharply in recent years. He
told council the illiterates
had learned to cope in
society despite their han-
dicap and lead an in-
teresting life, He said the
people will "rip open bags in
grocery stores and put their
fingers in to determine if the
bag contains sugar or salt,"
Partridge said in an in-
terview that the percentage
of illiterates in Huron was
high compared to other
municipalities in the
province. He said that
percentage could be due to
the rural base in Huron
pointing out that many
people didn't need a formal
education to work farms and
left school early,
The librarian said ac-
cording to provincial
standards people with less
than a grade 3 education are
termed illiterate. He said
government statistics
released in 1976 showed that
775 of the county's 41,175
residents had less than
Grade 5 education.
The county population now
stands at 56,000 and ac-
cording to Partridge 1,000
people could be illiterate.
Government statistics
show that 17 percent of the
people in Ontario are func-
tionally illiterate. People
with less than Grade 9
education are termed func-
tionally illiterate. Partridge
said that 29 percent of
Huron's residents are func-
tionally illiterate according
to those terms.
He said a program was in
operation to teach people to
read and that about half a
dozen people had enrolled,
But he added that the
program could become
county wide and include
more people.
He said people that can't
read have learned to get
along and unless one, knew
that a person could not read
one wopld not be able to tell,
He salt one could not tell by
talking— to illiterates that
they can't read,
But he added that the
people are very "eager to
learn" and realize that by
not being able to read they
are "missing a lot in life."

medical supervision was not
what it had been. But he did
say that any medical
problems were brought to his
attention promptly adding
that Mrs. Haskett was doing
a good job of caring for the
patients.
