KELLER ( Members of liurun County ©Wncil on Monday morning passed an increased basic bud- get for the 1968 operation of the 11uron County Health Unit but rejected a plan by Dr. G.P. A. pvans for an added expenditure of $15.675 to finance the dev- elopment of selral new ser- vices. Dealing with tY. the board of Lt. 'th, 'nncil approved a $187, -6u bud - .get representing an increase of more than $10, Ou0 over° last year' -s estimated budget. Sub- sequently. a 22-16 recorded vote turned down a program development factor which was to have begun work in envuon- mental hygiene, geriatrics, mental health, topical flourides and rnulti-phasic population 'screening. Dr, Evans, medical officer 'of health for the county explain' ed that Much needeAt to be done in the field ofrenviron- mental hygiene including work. on pest control, misuse of pest- icides, water, sewage, air pol- lution and food control. He ad- ded that sanitation of recrea- tional facilities and regular in- si <ct. 1 Of funeral homes. ), ro, a ider this,,' r1 e:0, would be a I rig c n the job of ossa t. 1, I{uton County tis}filen. 1'Py and well adjusted. it d. u111d simply pro- vide addition. i.ne for public health nursing ff to call on senior citizens to determine their wants and needs. To improve the mental health of Huron citizens, it was proposed to set up a family guidance centre which would be centrally located to serve the entire community. Another proposal was to in- troduce a service .now provided in some cities where young children may have their te.ekh painted with •a flouride solution to reduce the incidence of cost- ly, painful; unnecessary cavi- ties. Perhaps° most pertinent in' the business of modern preven.; tive medicine was the proposed clinics for testing to detect lung and cervical cancer in its early stages as well as arthritis and rheumatism. Upon learning that the coun- ty was not in favor of raising the funds to maintain this • "sound investment" Dr. Evans warned that Huron County could be "stepping backward" as far as the provision of an up-to.date public health unit was concerned. Council had learned earlier • that.'the board of health will lose the,National Health Grants effective, March 31, -1965 which last year totalled mare than $13, 000. The government has discontinued these grants in view of the new legislation which permits health districts. Urr the health district ar- sangenent the, entire program would be subsidized at the rate of 75 percent. Capital costs world be §ubs!dized at the rate of two-thirds of the cost of new buildings etc. Huron last Wear rejected the idea of acn.algarnating with Perth County, the town of St. Marys. and the city of Stratford to form a health district. With. the county of Huron remaining as a health unit only, maxi- , mum subsidy available to coun- cil is rigw 50 percent. Of the total budget, the cost to Huron taxpayers is estimated to be . • lot U4$ year. Costto the county last ear was about $71,000. 'ClerkJola Berry pointed out that increased salaries accounted fo'gteat' est rise in costs, but that two additional health inspectors, estab4s rent of a new branch in Bruss ls, decreased grants from government and short spending last year made up° the 820,000 difference, In his report, Dr. Evans grew council's attention to the booklet published to, record the findings of a geriatric study (old age) recently completed in Huron. He also pointed out that the •number of live births was down for last. year in the county and that there, had been a startling increase in the num= ber Qf traffic deaths in Huxvn. He added that it was more and more evident that mental sub- normalities and emotional dis- turbances i -turbarnces Were 'factors in vio- lent drawing habits, • Council gave its approval • for Dr. Evans to travel to Van- couver to attend the three-day Canadian Public Health Associa- tion annual convention there and for the bea0 of health t , tame Q at inaetnbetship in th atario Health Units iiSCOQ .a'' gone, 0" 4,eu bees: also accepted, a >reeommendatlon ofitho beard of health that the indigent rate payable to nursing homes be set at $8.0 per day although a bylaw had been passed earlier this year setting the rate at $80 Ward of Health Chairman Clifford Dunbar explained that he had learned the bylaw hac re,t been "worth the paper it's writ= ten on:.
