Dy mond Discusses Health in Ontario Day Hospitals and Psychiatry Matthew B. Dymond, MD, CM. | and the same treatment as a Ontario Minister of Health psychiatric patient would receive there, Mention the word "Hospital" | and you picture a building con- "taining beds with nurses and doc- tore caring for the sick. Certainly this is the usual thought, but modern medicine stresses activi. ties for paticnts as idleness rusts the body and mind. The trend nowadays is away from beds and bedrest to some extent, particu. larly so for psychiatric illness, where bedrest is often little need. ed and activity is advisable as a release from insoluble worries and empty preoccupations, Symbolizing this change is the 'Day Centre of the Toronto Psychiatric Hospital which open. ed in early 1958--one of many such day hospitals now in being. Open five days a week, 9 am. to 5 p.m. it treats a variety of nervous breakdowns that would otherwise require a hospital bed or that office visits would not satisfy, Six beds are available for the twenty-five adults who attend daily, but they are infrequently used except for specific treat ments or physical examinations, The Centre, however, is run like a hospital, with the same staff The Day Centre patient spend- his day in a variety of activities, gome quiet, some stimulating, At. tention is given to an individual treatment plan for each patient, and a full-time staff of psychia- trists, nurses, psychologist, social worker apists is there to help. All treat. ment, meals, ete, free of charge to the patient, paid for by your Oatario Department of \'ealth, The patients sleep at home at night and week-ends, and ar: encouraged to keep up their usual are interviewed and advised. and occupational ther. are supplied interests. Relatives Thus the patients are helped to regain self-control and self- esteem: the anxious are settled, the confused re-integrated, the defeated uplifted. The learning of new attitudes and a wakening of abilities is encouraged and the Day Centre provides a setting less threatening than hospital and in closer contact with everyday liv- ing. This is an important phase of the Ontario Department of Health's new approach to care of the mentally disordered. 4 Any questions on the work of the Department of Health in this d, or su ested topics for these colurins, should be sent to the Director -of Information and Publicity, Onwario Department of Health, Queen's Paik, 1oronto. warded to the Board for considera- tion and comment. Following considerable discussion it was Moved that the Planning Board would recommend that the Municipal- ity do everything possible to encour- age the Postal Department to erect a Builidng that would be a credit to the village. In order to do so we would recommend that the Depart- ment acquire the Vipond parcel as well as the Gibson parcel. It also re- commends that the Municipality transfer the parcel of 120 x 100 (ap- prox.) of Park Land to the Depart- ment for the sum of one dollar pro- vided that the Department transfer the small portion of the Vipond pro- perty encroaching on the Vipond Rd. and also grant a right of way of 16 feet x 120 feet (approx.) on the North East side of the Gibson pro- perty for access to. the Park land. Carried. . Letter of December 11th, 1962 from Mr. Derek Little advising that he had met with the Department of High- ways to obtain any future proposals they might have in respect to High- way #2. , In accordance with their normal practice the request for such informa- tion must come from the Township and requested that the Township write the Department requesting informa- tion required as outlined in his letter. It was Moved that letter as outlined by Planning Consultants be forward- ed to the Department of Highways. Carried. Chairman Geo. Lofthouse discussed with the Board certain portions of the Report on the rezoning of the High- way No. 401 Service Road in the Twp. of Whitby and suggested that the Bd. give these points some consideration for the next meeting. Oni - Motion Meeting adjourned at 9.45 p.m. John M. C. Greer Named As Queen's Counsel Among the 95 Ontario barristers appointed Queen's Counsel in the Honor List announced Tuesday by At- torney General Frederick Cass was John Montague Chisholm Greer, a partner in the Oshawa law firm of Greer and Kelly, who also have an office here in Port Perry. In announcing a list of 95 Ontario lawyers named QCg, the Hon, Mr. Cass noted the total is 17 fewer than last year. This was because there was a tightening up this year and it will be even tougher in the future, he said. Those appointed were selected from almost 400 applicants. A minimum of law experience--10 years including war service--was a major factor in determining the appointments. Concern among lawyers about the way in which QC appointments are made culminated a year ago in rejec- tion of the honor hy Woodstock law- yer R. A. MacDougall who said the honors are often distributed on a po. litical patronage basis. Mr. Greer has been practising law in Oshawa since 1950. Following his graduation from Osgoode Hall in 1949, he came to Oshawa in Septem. ber, 1950 and became associated with his uncle, the late Arthur W. 8S. Greer, one of the leading criminal lawyers in this section of the province. Born in Toronto, Mr, Greer lived for a number of years in Cochrane where he received his education at the Cochrane High School. He later attended Trinity College School in Port Hope and graduated as a min- ing engineer from the University of Toronto. On the outbreak of the Second World War in 1939, Mr. Greer enlisted in the Royal Canadian Air Force and served in that branch of the services for five years, On his demobilization, he worked for a year as a mining engineer at the Hollinger Mine at Timmins. He then decided to study law and entered Osgoode Hall at Toronto. - Active in many phases of the life of the community, Mr, Greer served for the past two years as a member of the Oshawa Board of Education, An enthusiastic sportsman, he is a keen golfer and curler, THE STAR EDITORIAL PAGE Whithy Township Council A Regular Meeting of the Council of the Township of Whitby was held in the Council Chambers, Brooklin on Friday, December 21st, 1962 at 1.45 p.m. with all members present. On Motion the minutes of Meeting #27 were adopted as printed. Deputations and Interviews Mr. H. S. Carter was present to dis- cuss with Council the amendment to By-law 1784 applied for by Mr. Eyers and pointed out that the non-conform- ing Agricultural uses have been re- cently expanded. Correspondence 1. Mr. Albert Eyers made applica- tion for an amendment to By-law 1784 to change the (R-2) and (R-3) Zoning of his lands in Lot 20, Con- cession 9 to (A) Agricultural. This application was referred to the 1963 Council by Resolution #1. 2. A further letter from the Depart- ment of Public Works regarding the proposed Post Office Building in Brooklin was read. This dealt with the fact that unless the proposed site was approved it might mean a delay for another year to process a new site and also that eventually a quit claim deed to 2 feet of the old Fire Hall property would be supplied to the Township. The Park Board reported on the proposed site as follows: "that if land is required to come off Meadowerest Park, that suitable land in Meadow. crest Area be acquired to replace this property." The Planning Board reported on the same as follows: "The Planning Board would recom- mend that the municipality do every. thing possible to encourage the Postal Dept. to erect a building that would be a eredit to the Village. In order to do so, we would recommend that the Dept. acquire the Vipond parcel as well as the Gibson parcel. [It alsa recommends that the municipality transfer the parcel of 120' x 100' ap- prox. of park land to the Dept. for the sum of one dollar, providing the Dept. transfer the small portion of the Vipond property encroaching on the Vipond Road and also grant a right of way of 16 feet x 120 APPTOX. on the north east side of the Gibson property for access to the parkland."
