County looks at day care Continued from page 1 program if established. Currently, the social service staff and administrator do not think that it is practical to pursue the matter any further until the social service committee and county council decide to become involved in such a program and budget funds for it. In the day care report submitted to council, it is recommended that the county purchase service agree- ments with existing day care facilities, and implement private home daycare programs which would receive their funding from the county and the province. It was recommended to council that they do not pursue opening their own daycare centres. The subsidized program would be provided to only persons in need, and would have to be assessed by the county before being considered. The report also stated thatthe advantage of the private home day care services is that they could be established in smaller rural centres. Bayfield Reeve David Johnston requested the Director of Huron County Social Services, Doug Mackinnon, toexplain what type of person would qualify as someone in need. “I’m concerned that there are a lot of people out there who would abuse the system,’’ he said. He also asked for a copy of the set of guidelines for subsidizing day care. Mr. Mackinnon responded that a person in need is when their expenses are greater than their income within certain limits as established in the guidelines. Tuckersmith reeve Bob Bell stated a concern for current day care centres in larger centres, such as Clinton, that may be put out of business through the establish­ ment of smaller in home day care centres as recommended in the report.

The increase in time is due to new dental programs being established by the Ministry of Health to provide free dental treatment to children up to the age of 13 if they are at high risk and are unable to afford dental treatment. While council decided to not change the current contract with Dr. Backti until it runs out in May 1988, and they can clarify their position with the Perth District Health Unit, reeve Prout asked the acting Medical Officer of Health, Dr. J. McGregor, how and when will people find out about these new programs. Reeve Prout also stated that, “All children should be covered under this program and not just the ones in economic need.’’ Dr. McGregor stated that this is what the Ministry is striving for.
