Government through its fiscal policy and Inspection Inspection process condones the provision of Inadequate Inadequate care to nursing home residents! Consider the following: 1. Nursing Home Residents receive $49.16 per day while their counterparts In Homes For The Aged receive on average, $75-$85 per day. 2. For 1907, the proposed increase to Nursing Home Residents is $1.96 per day, Compare this to the special grant of $38.30 per day to residents at Daycrost, a Home For The Aged in Toronto. That's typical! $30.30 per day extra for the Home For The Aged Resident, and a $1.96 for the Nursing Homo Resident, the "poor cousin" of the health care system, It Is scandalous that residents at Baycrest and other Homes For The Aged requiring 3 hours of care per day receive same, while Nursing Home Residents are denied this quality of care! If Baycrest and other Homes For The Aged can be funded for porters to transport residents in wheelchairs, and for extra staff to meet the needs of residents unable to participate In group activities, why not Nursing Home Residents? The Government should hang Its head In shame for maintaining such blatantly callous and Inhuman Inhuman policies and for subjecting 30,000 Nursing Nursing Homo Residents to the indignity of being treated like "second class citizens."

Mr. Davis made the comments comments during last week's meeting of the Bowmanville Rotary Club. His address was aimed at helping Rotarians make wise investments. However, he did not specifically indicate indicate the best place to put one's money. Instead, Mr. Davis focussed focussed on the methods for developing developing a long-term investment investment program. He started by saying that potential investors should not procrastinate because they think the market has peaked. "I find that the biggest failing in anyone's investment investment program is procrastination," procrastination," he said, adding that he has been hearing the argument for years that interest rates will not go any higher. As an alternative, he said each person should look at how much money they wish to invest and how much risk they can personally handle. "Regardless of whether you have $5,000 or $500,000, you should take the same steps before you make any kind of investment," he said. The steps were relatively simple. You begin by listing your objectives and how mucji you hope to make from the investment, something something which Mr, Davis said "sounds cobut that- most people do not do. Following that, a person should list their assets and their concerns and then prepare to invest. He concentrated on concerns concerns because he said people should never invest in things which make them nervous. It's only once you know how much risk you can bear that you know how to invest, he reasoned. For some people, that means never investing in anything greater than the guaranteed payoffs like bank savings accounts or Canada Savings Bonds. For others, it can mean gambling gambling on high risk investments with high payoffs for the winners. He presented the possible possible investment program as a triangle, with the safest investments at the base of the triangle and the highest risk commodities at the peak. In the middle were investments investments like common shares and preferred shares. Mr. Davis said all people should keep the most funds in the guaranteed return investments investments at the base. But he said a certain percentage percentage can be used on the higher risks, depending on how much a person wishes to gamble and how secure they feel with the ups and downs of the high risk commodities. commodities.
