Too much red tape already, Tiny says Township opposes health council by Adrienne Graham Gardner Although 'perfectly willing to meet" with the steering committee appointed to study the feasability of a district health council for Simcoe County, Tiny council remains unanimously opposed to between us and Queen's Park." Reeve Morris Darby told Tiny council Wednesday that "in speaking _to people associated - with health councils across the province, I found most appointees asking themselves 'What in the heck are we doing here?' after a few meetings." the concept of "another layer of bureaucracy Prejudice is official in South Africa: student Inge Schwauss, recently returned from a one- year Rotary Club-sponsored excange visi! to South Africa, says. "I found a lot of prejudice (in South Africa) bu' I sometimes wonder if ihere isn't as much here." The prejudice againsi the natives of 'he country by ihe ruling European-descended whiles is obvious because i: is wriften into the country's constitution, she said. Schwauss, a 19-year-old resideni of Penetanguishene, graduaied from Grade 12 with honours before going to South Africa. Her mother is from Southwest Africa. During her stay she was the gues! in the homes of five Rotarians in the farming centre of Viljoenskroon, in Orange Free State. Two of the Rotarians who hosted her were millionaries and ihe others were wealthy, she said. During her stay in Viljoenskroon, she was a student a! Solomon Senekal Hoerskool. "The method of ieaching was disastrous,' she told Midland Rotarians this week. Education for the school's studenis was a maiter of memorizing information handed to them and regugitating i! for examinations. Since students there are not en- couraged 10 think for themselves, i! is not sur- prising that the failure raie ai South African universities is much higher proportionately than a' Canadian and United Siates universities, she said. The conformity exiended io all areas of the school life. Schwauss wore a green and yellow uniform io school. Siudenis walked in single file along corridors, and mingling of the sexes was discouraged. The question mosi frequently asked of Schwauss was aboui the relationship of the French and the English in this country. the South African queslioners seemed io think thai the situation here is parallel to the situation in their own country, Schwauss said. Schwauss returned home with a greater ap- precia'ion of everything she left behind, her parents, her friends, her school, and her country.

Simcoe County is one of only two areas in Ontario without a health council. Tiny councillor Ron Hamelin theorized that the province was instituting health councils "because they're just too damned lazy or incompetent to deal with hospital boards independently," preferring to deal indirectly through fewer bodies. Councillor John Butler called health councils "just another level telling those who know what they're doing what they should be doing," and suggested that the "'initial $250,000 cost of setting up a council should be used for more beds at both local hospitals."
