PAGE 12 TERRACE BAY NEWS APRIL 8, 1971 LETTER TO THE EDITOR: In reference to the letter to the Editor, of February 25th, by Mr. G. Weghorn, I would like to restate the following points, as he seems to have missed them in my first letter. For those of your readers who missed the original letters, the discussion was conaerning the plans of the District Home for The Aged Board, to add on to the present Home for the Aged, in Thunder Bay, rather than building further homes for the Aged in the outlying district. The first point I would like to make is that I'm not half as concerned in what small community the next home for the aged is built as I am, that it not be built in Thunder Bay. Personally I would think thet the ideal situation would be to have small twenty-five bed Homes for the Aged, in each community, including Marathon, Terrace Bay, Schreiber, Gerald ton, Nipigon or Red Rock. I belisve the present home is ade- quate to serve the needs of the communities west of Thunder Bay, and also for those in Marathon, such as Mr. Waghorn, and Mr, Cavanaugh, who want to retire in Thunder Bay. Mr, Waghorn uses the example of the regionalization of the Education System as an arguement against decentralization of 01d Folks Homes. I believe on. this point Mr. Waghorn and I can agree, that centralization, does not always result in best service to the people served. To me it makes as much sense to heve all the Homes for the Aged centralized in Thunder Bay, as it would be to have all the Pharmacys across Northwestern Ontario, centralized in Thunder Bay. Costs of prescriptions might be reduced, but who wants to travel a hundred , or two hundred miles to gst a prescription filled. And who wants to travel the same distance to visit a resident of an 01d Folks Home. To conclude Mr, Editor, if Mr. Waghorn would like to advocate a Home for the Aged in Marat- hon, in order to provide cars for those in his community, who no longer can care for themselves, then I will be the first to offer my services in promoting this idea. I think smell communities in Northwestern Ontario should smarten up and stop fighting among ourselves. Because of petty Jeal- ousy, that one town might get something another won't, and as a result efsour dog-in-the-manger attitude, most of our communities are not growing or developing the way they should be, mean while Thunder Bay becomes fatter, and weal- thier, because we can't unite to help-one another, Though I appreciate Mr. Waghorn's willingness to express himself, I must say Mr. Editor that I'm still of the opinion, that I should do unto others, as I would have them do unto me.
