CO-OP Fertilizer and OO -OP Feed, -you wouldn't mix them — but let's combine them to help you produce more lbs. of milk from every acre. Let's start with CO-OP fertilizer. Fertilization of forages establishes vigorous plants and improves winter survival of legumes. Applying the proper analysis of CO-OP fertilizer every year boosts the total digestible nutrients (TDN) you get from every acre of forage. In fact. your livestock carrying capacity can often double or triple and your return can be as much as 53 for every S1 spent. Now add the proper CO-OP Feed Ration to balance your forage for optimum production of milk per acre. Sound crop management and feeding practices. as detailed irf these feed and crop brochures. will give you better production year after year in both the field and the bam. CO-OP Fertilizer and Feed Rations don't mix. but they combine well to give you maximum results. avadab.►e et your Co-operative United Co-operatives of Ontario 357_2711 BELGRAVE BRANCH 887-6453 • Feed and Crop Products : a total service for Ontario farmers MM't f.rget to order your weed spays while still uvuflail• "WHY 1 LIKE TO BE A CANADIAN" was the contribution of the grades three and four students to the Sacred Heart School assembly last Fri ship Week".

Heads nodded and around the packed auditorium. She indicated that the edu- cational material may be too negative. "Accentuating the positive is a better way to do it than emphasizing the negative," she said. Heads once again nod- ded in approval. Of course!

Conning into focus now is the present provincial government campaign to "Mix a little think- ing with. your, drinking„ Gurpal Thind, director of nurs- ing for the Huron County Health Unit, pointed out that while these educational aids via the govern -- mer are -excellent, .they. are, not always available. She said.public health nurses were "fed up" and "frustrated" because these films, books and pamphlets pro- duced at considerable cost to the taxpayers, are just not getting into the hands of the people for whom they are intended. Some people felt that _ not enough was said in the Lalonde report about the mental health area of health care. Several per- sons spoke about the desperate need for family counselling. It was pointed out again and again the absolute importance of the family unit in the health of a na- tion. Over and over the need for ,strong bonds in the family were touched upon. Family counsel; ling, according to Dr. Humphrys in the morning session, should be done by the health professionals; others thought schools should take on the responsibility to teach values and morals and attitudes in kindergarten and the junior. grades when young minds are most impressionable; still more thought this work must be done in the home and so teenagers should be educated in parenthood cour- ses to prepare them for the life ahead of them. This line of discussion brought up, in Dr. Humphrys' mind at least, the need for doctors to spend more time with their pat- ients. "Instead of treating a pat- ient's ulcer over and over again, why not treat the cause of the ul- cer?" Dr. Humphrys reasoned. He said that in a great many in- stances, a heart to heart talk be- tween doctor and patient could be as beneficial as medication ... in some cases, more beneficial. DOCTORS' SALARIES Dr. Humphrys charged that since doctors are now being paid -for services by the provincial government, the most financially rewarding situation is to see as many patients as possible in one day ... and to keep them coming back for additional care and treatment. "And the health care ,consumer has no way of knowing just how muchinvestigation of a certain problem is really neces- sary," said Dr. Humphrys. He stressed his belief that some change in the method of payment of physicians would alleviate the complaint of many health care consumers that doctors are too busyto talk to patients who really have problems. The whole area of doctors' salaries was explored to some de- gree during the session. One sug- gestion was made that perhaps doctors should be renting facili- ties at hospitals where they earn a -good portion of their salary, such as operating rooms where expensive equipment is provided to doctors free of charge, paid for through the taxes of the people. It was pointed out that at one time, doctors did buy their own equipment for use in the hospi- tals, but this practice—like many others—was discontinued when the provincial government began footing the bills. It was also made clear that be- fore OHIP, doctors were being paid directly by their patients and in some cases, provided many services without remuner- ation. Now that the government picks up the physician's tab, so to speak, 'the doctor gets paid for nearly every visit in his office. It was suggested that since paying customers are no longer subsidiz- ing the doctor for those who do not pay, the fee per patient (visit) should be reduced. -. Dr. Humphrys admitted to the audience that the payment of doctors' fees under the proposed Mustard Report system, was the "toughest nut of all to crack". He further admitted that the vague guidelines in the Mustard Report for paying all health care work- ers under the proposed system were not getting a whole lot clearer even after months of de- liberation. Mrs. Pat Wheeler, speaking as a health care consumer and a wife and mother, said she liked to believe that the 24-hour a .day, seven-day a week service to which the Mustard Report refer - Five in hospital following accident Five persons were taken to the hospital after a three -vehicle accident last Monday, May 12. Involved in the collision on High- way 4, 21t miles south of Tees - water, were Mrs. Mary Stinson of RR 3, Chesley, James Henderson of Kitchener and John VanCamp of Belgrave. Mrs. Stinson was the driver of a truck travelling north which col- lided with the south -bound car of Mr. Henderson. Mr. VanCamp was the driver of the third vehicle that was following the truck. Also injured in the accident were Robert Johnston of Teeswater, a passenger in the Henderson car, and Edward Wadel, a passenger in the VanCamp car. Mrs. Stinson was admitted to the Wingham and District Hospi- tal suffering a fractured verte- bra e . Mr. Henderson suffered abrasions and contusions of the face and both knees. Mr. Van - Camp was treated for abrasions and contusions to the scalp. Mr. Johnston was treated for a laceration to the eye and an in- jured left ankle and released. Mr. Wadel was also discharged after treatment for cervical spine in- jury. Romo.e€24 -Some Wingham residents journeyed to Clinton last week- end to enjoy the Central Huron Secondary School's production of "Annie Get Your Gun". A high- light of the Friday evening presentation was the reading of a good luck telegram from actress - singer Ethel Merman who starred in the movie version and several stage versions of the Ir- ving Berlin musical based on the life story of Annie Oakley. y in commemoration of "Citizen- iscussed red was practical and possible. She did question the period of time that was suggested for the evolution of the system -10-15 years. She wondered if the sys- tem would survive the evolution- al process or. would it be dras- tically altered as time went by. Mrs. Wheeler took the oppor- tunity to point out that health care volunteers are an inexpen- sive source of manpower. "The price is certainly right," said Mrs. Wheeler. "We may not be trained professionals but we have experience in many fields and a good deal of common sense." And the seminar had its mo- ments of levity. Medical Director at GPH, Dr. Michael Conlon, spoke only briefly during one of the question periods and urged "moderation in all things". He pictured the aging, , portly gentleman dressed in the garb of a teenager huffing and puffing his way on a jogging course in'an ef- fort • to keep fit. Dr. Conlon pointed out that while good health is desirable and longer_ life is certainly possible because of modern. medicine, a measured amount ,of ill -health must be ex- pected in life. He warned that people seem to be looking for "eternal youth" these days. He alluded to the age of instantcy in which we live, touching on the ridiculous de- mands of people for miracles. "Some aging men expect the vir- ility of a 21 year old," the doctor contended. PERSONAL OBSERVATIONS Some things came through loud and clear throughout the day's deliberations. Number one: Though it is wide- ly accepted that money won't buy good health, it is definitely money that is the top priority where modern health care services are concerned. As medical know- ledge grows, so grows the medi- cal bill. Science knows how to keep people healthier longer, but society can't afford to buy the service. Now that money could buy a great measure of health per capita, the price is too high even for something as basic and vital as glowing health. Number two: Better health may not be what the average citi- zen wants out of life. He may much rather drive too fast and smoke too mach—risking injury and death with every breath— than to modify his life style. Health care professionals may be selling a commodity which isn't as popular with the people as they thought. Health may not be a pri- ority item in today's world. Life may not be as worthwhile as it once was. Number three: If it can be as- sumed that life isn't as worth- while to peo ile, it May also be as- sumed that people are searching for something thatthe modern lifestyle no longer holds. One of the over-riding concerns of the seminar at GPH last Wednesday was for the emotional well-being of people. Everybody was talking about counselling people in the value of life; of teaching morality where lost morals are destroying homes and human relationships; of fostering awareness of self and the preservation of . the body. These lessons were once taught by the church and God-fearing parents. Could it be that people are searching for the God society tells us is dead? r., or Dntc,I Cates Think '4PMelimmommittrahr.
