ORONO Fuel and Lumber Station Street, Orono 983-9167 Mr. James: I'm not very happy with some of our local councillors. They took it upon themselves themselves to have garbage collection. collection. The cost of tne collection collection will be added to our taxes and we will still have to pay for the collection whether we want it or not. I believe this is an infring- ment of the Charter of Rights. I had weekly collection collection by another company and I know what it was costing costing me. I phoned Mr. Stapleton and he told me that they awarded to pick up contract to B.F.I. but he doesn't know what the cost to us will be. If I buy something, I know what the cost is. How can the councillors award the contract to a company that uses the Metro dump, when Metro wants to dump their garbage in our backyard? Now, B.F.I. wants to build an incinertor in our backyard. I believe that the councillors had better reevaluate reevaluate the contract with B.F.I. if they care and represent represent the Town of Newcastle. Ted Boricic, Orono. Dear Editor: I recently watched a program program called Speaking Out, on which there were three gentlemen who profess knowledge of the health care industry, and our minister of Health. I found it not at all sur- B that our Minister of could disclaim knowledge of holistic health care. It is my understanding that, at the turn of the century, century, the directions taken by health professionals in North America were greatly influenced by the Carnegie system of Endowments and generosities. Apparently at that time, grants to any field of medical endeavour seen to be outside strict "medicinegiving" "medicinegiving" type medicine were disallowed. These fields included included homeopathy, chiro- practory, naturopathy, holism holism and medical schools for women; fields incidentally which are tried, proven, and much used in the rest of the world. Our crisis intervention system in Canada is probably probably the best in the world. We are great on acute surgical surgical care. The sadness comes with the realization that, like many of our fields of expertise, expertise, the people: : at the top deal., strictly (..by,, the. "in- basket" method of management. management. They fill their time and their minds with facts and figures close at hand. There is a world, and a wealth, of alternative health care information currently in place, functioning and showing good results. Everyone has an example of a back or shoulder pain relieved by chiropractory after after drugs failed. Many of us know of specific specific cases where chelation therapy in the! removal of plaque from the atherosclerotic atherosclerotic arteries relieved the pain and the need for surgery. surgery. The fields of nutrition and self-healing are becoming becoming stronger and more meaningful by the day. Our minister would be well advised to take 2 steps back, look at what's happening happening in the world around her, and hear the voices raised for a new age of health and well-being.

Under the By-laws that control the operation of the Foundation, Article 6, Section Section (6) states: 'The Directors of the Foundation shall serve as such without remuneration and no director shall directly directly or indirectly receive any profit from his/her position as such provided that a director director may be paid reasonable reasonable expenses incurred by him/her in the performance of his/her duties/ As we would expect all members of the community which is served by Memorial Hospital to be aware, the Directors Directors of the Foundation were very involved and active active in tne recent campaign to raise funds for the expansion expansion program. Due to the generous response from a great many individuals and organizations, the hospital board was enabled to convert convert a cherished expansion plan from dream to reality for the common good of all our citizens. Unfortunately, it is an accepted accepted fact of life that the needs of our hospital, as with all hospitals today, will always exceed the funds available to satisfy contemporary contemporary expectations for modern modern up to date equipment so that the Foundation's responsibility responsibility for raising funds will always be with us. In this connection, it is a great pleasure for the directors to acknowledge that contributions contributions are still being received from interested supporters of Memorial Hospital.
