Home Newspaper or Halton Hills Established A Division of Canadian Newspapers Company Limited Guelph Street Georgetown 3Z6 Ontario GARNET COWSILL Publisher and General Manager J STEVEN FOREMAN Advertising Manager Phone Page SECTION A THE HERALD Wednesday March Time well spent We re glad to see the Halton Board of Education break ing some traditions Trustees postponed their vote on the fate of three Halton Hills public schools at their Thursday meeting Trustees were asked to sift through roughly pages of reports from parents and consolidation committee members After hearing nine speakers oppose the school closings trustees voted to wait until April to make a decision Board policy states that if a school is to be closed in September then a decision has to be made by March of that year That ruling had to be charged to accommodate the Hills consolidation vote Trustees wisely asked for more time to mult over a bar rage of paper and reexamine the strategy of the con solidation committee and other reports prepared for them by private citizens After nine briefs were presented Thursday there were no questions by any of the trustees This must indicate they were feeling overwhelmed by the length and depth of sub missions presented to them opposing the closings Some parents were disturbed at the lack of time given to them to oppose the board report Now the board has shown its willingness to be fair and not through such an important document Walk for peace Maybe you dont call yourself an activist And peacenik isnt in your vocabulary Thats okay sure Maybe you disagree with the peace movement feeling it weakens our position when the West negotiates with the Soviets Maybe you havent thought much about peace this year But is designated as the Year of Peace by the United Nations Its a onetime event an opportunity to sing out celebrate pray and hope for everlasting peace among countries Don t miss a chance Saturday to join in a One World Walk in downtown Georgetown sponsored by 10 local ches They be walking to the beat of peace hunger and apartheid Its a fitting Easter message Maybe you re skeptical of nations who hurl Verbal barbs dally across borders Maybe you re fearful the world isn t ready for peace But give peace a chance show your support Town MD debates health care crisis was lhat any person over or receiving government assistance cany a Health Care Accessibility Card which would forbid doctors from extra billing them Another suggestion was that government rates be available in all areas of On tario The issue of extra billing In On tario is less a conflict of doctors wan ting more money and more one of declining health care in Ontario The message that doctors are fighting for better health care is slowly get ting out to the people A doctor is the person who takes care of our health so what Is so strange about their role of taking care of our health care system Who better knows the state of health care in Ontario than doctors If the ma of them believe a ban on extra billing will hurt health care t we listen Dr Elliott of Georgetown is trying to get people to listen He speaks to patients and he speaks to government on behalf of the Ontario Chapter of the College of Family Physicians or Canada Dr is one of seven members of the executive of the On tario Chapter of the C C which has 3 members per cent of whom oppose the ban on extra billing Dr Halparin has spoken for the Ontario Chapter before the Social Development Commit W at Queen Park and March ho had a meeting with Bob The leader agreed that pro blems created by extra billing are few Dr Halparin said Premier Peterson is quoted in the brief resented to the Social Development by the Ontario Chapter as saying the same Premier Peter son Identified the problems created by extra billing as restricted to some geographical areas and some disciplines of medicine Any problems created by extra billing should be eliminated said The CFPC Ontario Chapter suggested some solutions at their Park meeting One We Advocate examples A trial balloon Staff Comment Inaccessibility to health care is not created by extra billing There is a shortage of funds for health care and it is not because doctors are too much from the health care budget In 38 per cent of that budget went to doctors In 1965 per cent of the budget went to doc tors Doctors know where the weaknesses In the health care system are and are now In a position to tell government Extrabilling has been a bargaining tool for the doc tors of Ontario It has helped to make their views known to the public A doctor who does not agree with government policy has been able to protest by opting out Disagreements might be over fees or over funding Doctors not able to opt out becvause of a ban on extra billing will lose that bargaining power I think any group once statecontrolled feels free to speak out against their employer without the fear of retribution Dr said Would you rather have doctors or politicians bargain on your behalf for heal th care The 1931 Georgetown High School Yearbook had a column entitled We Advocate Here are some ex which appeared in The Challenge Some were serious and some were not so serious VOXADVOCATORUM A telephone would be an added comfort and is a real necessity There are times when one wishes to summon a doctor Lockers for the girls and boys would be a great

Open House your staff were very supportive There were 1 residents who at tended our event so it was a success Sincerely Joy Thompson Recreation Parks Department Feed my sbeep Dear Sir Jesus said Feed my sheep I sometimes wonder how well do pastors read the Bible and how much they really believe The Bible tells a pastor what he should be doing Hebrews 13 verse 17 says their to watch over people souls and God will judge them on how well they do this I Peter verse says If you are called to preach then preach as though God himself were speaking through you I think it is time that pastors and preachers should be more concerned about what God Is thinking about what they arc doing than worrying what their congregations are thinking If hey ore really tuned in with God they will preach what God wants said not what the people want to hear to suit their Itching ears Timothy 4 verse Timothy verse says to preach the word of God at all times and Timothy I verse 7 says the Holy Spirit does not want us to be afraid of people To keep the peace most pastors and if the people have not heard anything different that what they believe If someone comes along with a different story watch out it not always accepted very well But the truth always hurts so I would suggest that you get a Bible and find out for yourself who la right 2 Timothy verse says bring others to Christ leave nothing undone
