ular place for consumers to use
IDP where it is a "preferred" meth-
od of payment for 24 per cent of
those asked. For payment at drug
stores, hardware stores and gas sta-
tions, IDP is behind credit cards as
a preferred payment method, but is
gaining fast. It already exceeds the
proport;'In of customers who prefer
to pay with cheques.
MPP Johns
discusses
Tong -term
care reform
TORONTO - As part of her new
role as Parliamentary Assistant to
the Honorable Jim Wilson Minister
of Health, Helen Johns has taken
the lead role on, long-term care re-
form.
As promised during the election
campaign, the premier halted the
development of multi -service agen-
cies on July 12 of this year.
"By halting MSA planning, we
are undoing the damage imposed
on long-term care services by the
previous governmmnt," Harris said.
"We will make sure Ontarians re-
ceive the highest quality for best
possible price."
Minister of Health Jim Wilson
said, "The government is commit-
ted to fixing the problems with Bill
173."
Over the past few weeks Helen
Johns has met with key people in
the long-term care system, discuss-
ing their ideas on how hest to co-
ordinate community based long-
term care services. She will report
to the Minister in the next few
days.
The discussions proceeded under
these principles:
• improved access,
• highest quality of services at the
best price; •
• cutting duplication and red tape
to put more money into front-line
services;
• consistent eligibility require-
ments for people needing services;
• provider accountability for how
money is spent on services, and
• consistent and equitaule funding
for services.
"I want to make sure that health
dollars end up where they are need-
ed most - in front -tine community
services," Johns said.
"We want to provide the best ac-
cess to services."

October 8, 1970 - As the result of a meeting with Grand Bend
council Monday night, officials of Southcott Pines Parklands Limit-
ed are expected to take steps shortly to alter a number of speed re-
ducing bumps that had been constructed on roads in the subdivision.
Robert Southcott of the company also representing the Ratepayers
Association by proxy agreed with council that the four -inch con-
crete bumps may have to be sloped.
While many municipal councils have fought against school addi-
tions in the past, Exeter council came up with a new twist this week.
They decided to ask the Huron Board of Education to give "immedi-
ate attention" to the need for an addition to Exeter Public School.
Huron MP Bob McKinley has been named a deputy whip of the
Progressive Conservatives. He will be in charge of maintaining at-
tendance of party members in the Commons, particularly for votes.

welfare fund.
In support of the National Clothing Collection Drive, Leavitt's

autos to Grand Bend for a wiener roast on the beach.
Bread was dropped by one cent a loaf in Exeter. It now sells at 13

Mr. William Hunter of Eden had a very successful barn raising on

100 YEARS AGO
October 10, 1895 - One day recently Mr. E. Shaddock of Bid-

Who can beat this?
Usborne township council will pay S. Cudmore $2 and James
Frayne $2.66 for lambs killed by dogs, being two-thirds of value.
The annual fall fair of the Biddulph Agricultural Society was held
in Granton Tuesday. The weather was propitious and exhibits were
ahead of any previous year, but the most important element was
lacking, that of the crowd. Attendance was limited and the large
number of prizes taken will cripple the society somewhat though we
trust they can manage to come out on top.
Providence favored the Kirkton fall fair with beautiful weather
and as a consequence it eclipsed all fairs under the Blanshard Agri-
cultural Society. Gate receipts amounted to $250.
Direct payment
rivals cheque use
TORONTO - The use of direct
payment has become so popular in
Canada that it now rivals cheque -
writing as a payment option.
A recent survey reveals that 10
per cent of Canadians prefer to use
direct payment for the things they
buy. That compares with 12 per
cent who use cheques and 16 per
cent who use credit cards.
Jim Kenney, vice president of
business development and market-
ing for the Interac Association said
the survey cle irly reflects Canadi-
ans' growing awareness and ac-
ceptance of Interac Direct Pay-
ment (IDP). He said the survey
results show that people who use
direct payment do so because it is
convenient, safe, reliable and con-
fidential.
"Awareness and use of IDP has
increased dramatically over the
past two years," Kenney said.
"The numbers are going up by
leaps and bounds as more Canadi-
ans discover how convenient and
easy to use IDP is." Although
awareness is growing, Kenney
notes there are still some people
who don't realize just how many
locations offer the service. "It's
being used at many grocery stores,
hardware stores, gas stations, liq-
uor stores, beer stores, specialty
and convenience stores," Kenney
said.
Interac Direct Payment allows
consumers to use their banking
card to pay for purchases at thou-
sands of retailers across Canada.
When a cardholder completes an
IDP transaction, using similar but-
tons and prompts found at author-
ized banking machines, funds are
withdrawn from the cardholder's
chequing or savings accounts and
credited to the merchant's account.
The service is used by Canadians
approximately 35 million times a
month at more than 121,000 retail-
ers.
Among cardholders, 96 pet cent
of those asked said they were
aware of iDP. The survey indicates
that women, people under age 35,
Quebecers and university gradu-
ates use IDP the most. Grocery
stores continue to be the most pop-
