Association. The capital allocation, the largest in the history of Ontario, is the first phase of a multi-year capital plan for the hospital system, Mr. Elston said. On top of this commitment, Mr. Elston said, a second phase of the plan will provide for extensive renovations to hospitals to br- ing them up to current standards and to Sandy Stuart, of the Clinton Optimists, presented a cheque for $500 to Don Wright of the Clinton Minor Baseball League on May 19. Mr. Wright says the money will go towards equipment. (Anne Narejko photo) enable them to meet future needs such as more out-patient services. "We are taking this action in order to br- ing Ontario's hospital system into line with the needs of our population up to the late 1990s," the minister said. Mr. Elston noted that -for many years, there has not been any rational plan guiding capital development of hospitals: "Because capital funds were allocated for hospitals on an annual basis, it was extremely difficult for hospitals to plan ahead on any long- range terms." Changing demographics are putting pressure on hospitals, the minister said. "Current forecasts indicate that while our overall population will increase by about 17 per cent by the end of this century, the elder- ly population will increase by 53 per cent." Mr. Elston said that the bed expansion in the first phase of the capital plan will pro- vide approximately 1,400 new acute care beds and more than 3,000 new chronic care beds (see attached list for regional breakdown). The exact locations of these beds within each region will take into ac- count reconunendations froth district health councils. The expansion represents an eight per cent increase in the number of beds in the province. When it is completed, Ontario will have more than 55,000 hospital beds, up from the current 50,979. The minister said acute care beds will be added primarily in areas of Ontario where the population is growing rapidly. But, he added, the substantial increase in chronic care beds should free up acute care beds in all hospitals. The waiting period for a chronic care bed in some areas of Ontario can be up to two years, with the result that many people are waiting in acute care beds.

These youth are members of TOC ALPHA, (Taking On Con- cerns About Life, People and Human Achievement), a positive lifestyle organiza- tion, active in Ontario for 30 years. The letter expresses the concerns of students for each other's wellbeing and the fear that changing the way beer and wine is sold in Ontario will have negative conse- quences for young people. Youth unemploy- ment will increase because grocery stores selling beer and wine will not, employ those who are under 19, destroying one of the prime job markets. Because Brewers Retail and LCBO outlets sell only alcohol beverage products, they are proficient at recognizing and challenging minors. A relaxation of this system could lead to easier accessibility for young people and studies by the Addiction Research Foundation of Ontario indicate that consumption increases with accessibili- ty. Underage drinking has had tragic conse- quences for many young people, particular- ly on the roads and highways. Making alcoholic beverages' more accessible is at cross purposes With current campaigns against drinking and driving. TOC ALPHA is a long-standing youth.pro- ' gram of Alcohol and Drug Concerns, Inc. which encourages and supports young peo- ple in the development of a healthy and positive lifestyle. ©\C PARADE ROUTE and TIME% Sat.
