-- PORT PERRY STAR -- Wednesday, July 28, 1976 Playground News: Programme past half-way mark PORT PERRY Another week has passed and it's hard to belive that playground is already' half over. The weather has been pretty nice this week and we were able to go swimming both Monday and Wednes- day. 'Attendance has dropp- ed due to holidays but on the average we still have from 50 to 70 children each day with new people still signing up. Our special day this week was Indian Day and all of the costumes were really nice. As a special treat we had popcorn which everyone seemed to enjoy. Friday was Green Thumbs Day and near ly everyone had something green on. We planted seeds and then had a sing song. We have also been doing a lot of painting this week which everyone really enjoys doing. Friday we moved all of our things over to the High School where we will be for the next couple of weeks, because the janitors are on holidays. . Thursday, July 29 will be Pirate Day and Friday will be Tie Day. Hope to see you there.

Friday was Green Thumb Day and there were a great many little green people at Playground. We planted carrot tops this year instead of beans. We had two surprise special visitors this week. On Thursday, Carol brought Recommend district health council A Regional steering com- mittee's recommendation for a district health council was endorsed by the social services committee and will be put before Durham Region Council for their en- dorsement. The seven-member steer- ing committee was set up by the Region to investigate the possibility of a health coun- cil, and will be asked to attend the Sept. 1 meeting of council when action on the issue will be taken. The steering body has also recommended that: - -the district health council consist of approximately 17 members with no fewer than three members appointed by regional council. -that the present seven member steering committee through advertising and in- dividual contact receive "Bell" her dog and on Fri- day, Mrs. Barton brought her horse "Pride". Play- ground thanks both these ladies for bringing their animals. New children are welcome so come and join in the fun! Joan Healey, Assoc. director, nominations of people to be considered for appointment to the council. -that the ministry of health recommend a balanced health council- consisting of 14 citizens and three regional - council appointees. -that the committee attempt to complete its task in three months and then disband, pending official formation of the district health council. According to the chairman of the steering 'committee Coun. Ken Matheson the op- erating cost of the steering comniittee would be between $70,000 and $100,000. The province provides 100 percent funding, Coun. Matheson stressed. The 17-member council, made up of three regional councillors, seven weekend professional people and seven health consumers who will give their time on the council on a voluntary basis. A 17-member council said Coun. Matheson, would allow for a good geographical balance for the regional based district health council. Coun.

I'd rather be at the mercy of Queen's Park than a council. like this," The council is designed as an advisory board and a planning board. It would examine the health' care needs in the region and make recommendations on priorities. The purpose of the council is also to help alleviate some of the spiralling" costs of health care by more efficient planning. The steering. committee, since it was established in November, 1975, has met with the public on four diffe- rent occasions and as a result received about 20 briefs from interested people. - According to Coun. Mathe- son, only one or two' of the submissions were negative to this health body." Cedar Creek by Geo.
