PORT PERRY STAR -- Tuesday, October 28, 1986 -- 17 Durham East PC's donate to the College An appreciation luncheon was held in the dining lounge of Durham College last Wednesday, in honour of the Durham East Progressive Conservative Association, who have donated $5,000 to assist college students in financial need, and to en- courage academic excellence in the awarding of in-course scholarships. In a speech to those gathered, Durham College president Mel Garland stated, "In the best sense of its party tradition, the Pro- gressive Conservative Association of Durham East is showing its con- fidence in our young people, through assisting them to complete their studies." He added that the Association was providing an example for politicians and citizens in general in encourag- ing students to achieve their career goals ana to take their place in society, thereby helping to achieve economic and political objectives. objectives. The college showed its apprecia- tion for the contribution by presen- ting a brass plaque which will be mounted in an area of the college chosen by the PC Association. As a dedication area, the PC's will be choosing a classroom related to political administration, jour- nalism, or public relations...all areas which focus upon the political life of the. country. However, Garland stated the exact area has not yet been chosen. Garland stated the dedication pro- gram, whereby organizations or in- dividuals select a specific college area, where a plaque is mounted to recognize their gift, is being well received. "To date, we have raised over $170,000 and we hope to achieve one million dollars by the conclusion of our campaign,' said Garland. "The interest on this money will fund col- lege bursaries and scholarships and we invite others in our community to follow the example of the Durham East Progressive Conservative Association...to achieve our goal, many additional donors are needed." Durham East PC Association president, Marianne Zakarow stated she was pleased to take part in the dedication program, hoping it might encourage others to help "in this worthy cause." Durham East MPP, Sam Cureatz, who if elected during the next pro- vincial election will represent Brooklin and area, said he could take no personal thanks for the donation, adding he was proud the plaque bearing his name would have a place of honour at the college. "I have never had such a tribute as this to be displayed in such a wor- thwhile institution as Durham Col- lege and I am flattered that Durham College will still be in my new riding of Durham East," said Cureatz. Viewpoint From page 15) walk and a lady who sounded as though she was going to be the victim of a burst appendix at any given second. We all waited together, staring alternately from magazine, to ceiling, to each other, to the nurses station. The story as related by my number one was that he was ushered into one of their little rooms and told to lie down on the bed. This he did, an- ticipating the arrival of the doc- tor. But this did not happen un- 'til George had fallen asleep (that's how long the wait was). When the doctor and nurses came hurrying into the room it was a matter of five minutes before they had stopped the bleeding, washed him down, sewed him up, stabbed him with a tetanus shot and sent him on his merry way. When we left, the other poor souls were still waiting. So now the crux of this col- umn. Why on earth the long wait when there was no one else there? Turns out the incident was a minor one, but what about that poor woman and her popp- ing appendix? In the U.S., according to the Worron story, there are an estimated 25,000 walk-in - medical clinics, many of them franchises, and private medical clinics are springing up in shop- ping malls in Edmonton, Calgary, Winnipeg, Regina and Vancouver. They are open until late, about 11 p.m. including weekends, and a doctor will see you without an appointment. The service costs nothing if you are insured under a medical - plan, and if not, you are free to use your credit card. Detractors of these clinics say they deliver impersonal, fast- food type of medical care and refer to them as "Docs in a box." Well let them say what they want, I think it is a great idea. I mean, I ask you, how personal are the doctors and nurses in emergency wards. They patch you up and tell you to see your own physician as soon as possi- ble. Half the time, you come out not even knowing the doctor's name who did the patching. The column is running a little long, and 1 won't burden you further, but I will fill you in on these new clinics next week. They are deserving of the publicity, and they couldn't be any worse than the system we » EE EEE 44 have now. IT gh x AU, 'Brooklin Community Centre SAT., NOV. 1st 8:00 P.M. to 1:00 A.M.
