He asked -local organizations and churchesto include Mait- land ' Manor on any visitation program they.. might have. "We must remember it was the generation -now populating our nursing homes which made it possible for us to enjoy what we have today," he said. A leading exponent for the raising of standards in nursing homes, Mr. Oltrnan dealt with the history of, homes and the role they play in society today. New Industry - He said: "Nursing homes are a relatively new industry, and have only been in existence for approximately 25-30 years. In the beginning they were..1�'. tIe different from boarding houses, but they did provide a facility which could and would look af- ter people who needed much more.. care than could be given by their. own relatives. They were places for those not sick enough to occupy a bed in the active hospital, or even chronic hospital. Thus the nursing home was born. • "Now homes are operating un - tier ---different standards. -Some are good, and some are not so good, as a matter of fact they are very poor. "This fact prompted a number .)f the more conscientious type of home administrator to band together and set minimum stand- ards. "This group presented briefs 011 4404 e kms 5V. ?'. o The Qatario Municipal Board have granted their approval of a $900,000 expenditure to° cover the cost of the project. The Ontario Water Resources Commission have issued their certificate of approvalwith, the following proviso, that if in the opinion of the Ontario Water Resources Commission additional protection of the receiving waters is required, the town wjll construct an outfall sewer into Lake Huron as may be directed by and to the satisfaction of the. Commission and within the period of time specified by the Commission. . An application is before Central Mortgage and Housing Corporation for a loan of $560,00.0. Their reply is expected by December 2nd. Logan Contract Company have granted an extension to December 6th, 1965 for acceptance of their :tender. If 'the plant is proceeded with the cost of the plant and interest charges_ will be added to the general tax rate. The cost df operating the plant will be collected by an addition to water bills. ' The levy for operating would commence in 1967. It would be 1968 before the first payment of principal and interest would have to be provided for. - TAX REPORT _.

' This action will be taken t:,- reduce the tax arrears. Two large debenture issues may have to -be sold in 1966. A low tax arrears figure could raise the prices quoted for the debentures by as much as a point to a point and a hall. This would net the Town Treasury $750 to 1000.

Chronic Burden "The O.H.S.C., when .it took over the responsibility as the only hospital insurance for the Province of Ontario, realized that it was necessary in order in hospitals for active care, They had t9 , liconce some nursing hies to take the burden of the Chroniaca:ly ill patients. "They arrived at some Hoene. ing by rule of 'thumb, wl}ereby they feel that there should be a chronie bed for every 1,000 peo- ple.- 1 "The welfare department is nowusing, the _.nursing home . facilities fox indigent patients. - "As you can see, the rule of a nursing home has somewhat clanged over the years and tak- en more the form of a profes- sion than an industry. "In a professional home, the patient and his care come first, and everything done in the home is done with, the patient in min4., "We can not turn an 80 -year- old patient into a ,,vigorous 20 - year -old, but by giving him care, and sustaining his individual ' pride, we can at least make hid remaining time an enjoyable to provide adequate bed facilities one," he concluded.
