Men & Women of Post Office Deserve Thanks

There was quite a good turnout of local
cesidents at Stanley Humphries Secondary
School on Saturday afternoon for. the short

y officially ing door-to-d
postal delivery in Castlegar, Kinnaird and
Blueberry Creek.

The turnout must have been

A lawyer who won't trust his secretary to

with an 8-cent stamp instead of sending it

its destination quickly. When it doesn’t, he

will move to a

heartening to local postal officials and
employees because theirs is a service that is
taken very much for granted—until something
goes wrong. Then the howls of protest are
deafening.

No More Failures —

Just Under-Achievers

For a man about to lose his job it must be
delightful to know that he's not being fired. He's
just being dehired.

That's the way it’s got to be according to
the new jargon developing in the personnel
management business. “Most employers more
than realize their social responsibilities today,”
said Bruce Anderson, Domtar Ltd.'s personnel
director, at a Montreal Personnel Association
seminar.

It’s true, it's true. The child who fails at
school is an under-achiever. The prisoner on a
day -pass who doesn't go back is an
under-adjuster. The man who robs a bank is a
social misfit.

One wonders if the man who's been dehired
can really convince his children that going
without food and drink doesn't make them
hungry. It just makes them de-nourished and
dehydrated, —The Vancouver Province

A
rural area because taxes are lower and the alr is
cleaner—but he hollers loud and clear when he
doesn't get his nowspaper through the mail the
same day it’s published!

A bride-to-be will have a wedding dress
shipped by ordinary parcel post close to her
wedding date, and then is upset when the
parcel's failure to arrive exactly when expected
causes a few. days of tearful anxiety.

Perhaps the wonder with the posta! service
is somewhat akin to typographical errors in a
newspaper. The wonder is not that there are
mistakes. The wonder really is that, given the
opportunity for errors, there are not more of
them!

We take this opportunity to congratulate
the postal employees and supervisory personnel
of local post offices for the job they do. As the
Greek Herodotus said nearly 4,000 years ago:
“Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of
night stays these couriers from the swift
completion of their appointed rounds.”

The postal staffs of Castlegar and Robson,
of Thrums and Shoreacres, of Passmore and
Slocan Park, of Winlaw and Slocan City, of
Silvertqn and New Denver, and the staffs who
faithfully served the residents of Kinnaird and
Blueberry Creek, all deserve a hearty “thank
you” for “jobs well done.

Focus on New Ways of Delivering Health Care

"Twas only a little tiff, Bernadette darlin’ — what's it
.goin’ to be tike if we have a real quarrel?”

The “politics
of healing” will
likely find an ex-
perimental focus
point in Grand
Forks in the next
a few months.
malt Health Minis-
ter Dennis Cocke hinted at
Grand Forks developments a
few days ago when I asked him
about how the work of his
special consultant, Dr. Richard
Foulkes was coming along.

A very important part of

happens in a number of B.C.
communities,
"Grand Forks is a town of

‘ about 3,000 and has a hospital
-which sooner or later is going to

need some expansion ‘and
renovation,

Cocke explains that tradi-
tionally, plans would have been
drawn for an acute care, or
extended care addition, de-
pending on the apparent local
need. Contracts would have
been called and a handsome
looking edifice would have
resulted.

The only problem would be
that the result would have been
the availability of more acute
care beds.

acute care beds are what are
most acutely needed (my pun,
not Cocke's).

The health minister, in
putting together his experience
as an insurance company
manager, Dr. Foulkes’ back-
ground in hospital administra-
tion and their common feeling
for socialist philosophy; is
coming up more often, with
community health clinics as the
answer to those expensive
acute care beds.

Not to mention those
expensive doctors,

Tasked if the Grand Forks
clinic, whatever form it takes,
would include a medical clinic
with salaried doctors on staff,
and the reply was that it “could
very well be.”

What happens when you
put a medical clinic with
salaried doctors on staff in a
community? Why they com-
pete, of course, with the

“clinic-for-profit” down the
street.

Presumably, if the free-
enterprise doctors have been
making too much money, the
compeitition will show it up.

AsI said, Cocke was vague
about details of the Grand
Forks plan. But some safe
assumptions can be made.

Both he and Foulkes want
to be sure that socialistic
experiments really work pro-

, perly.

It should not be assumed,
however, that their ideas are

strictly socialistic. The concept ©

of providing clinic care rather
d care when it‘can be.

When talking about. actite
care beds and their costs, Cocke
sounded every bit like his
Socred predecessor Ralph Loff-
mark. Costs have to be kept in
line, he said, otherwise they
will strangle the health care
delivery process. (There's that.
phrase again).

Home care and ambulance
service financing changes also
serve to reduce the acute care
bed need, according to Cocke,
and he is prepared to spend a
few dollars in both those areas.

For example, Cocke has
been talking about the fact that
really properly-financed ambu-
lance service might wipe out
the need to build acute care
hospitals in some communities.
If the people who might need
acute care could be assured
they were fairly close by
dependable, cheap ambulance
to a hospital in a neighboring
town, they might not feel the
strong need for a local hospital.

And if a communtity clinic
and home care program. is
operated effectively, fewer
people would have to exper-
ience hospital stays. They could
be treated in their own homes
or in “day care” facilities.

With those comments, this
column wraps up. I hope it has
helped a few people at least,.to
understand the B.C. political
process a little better. :

Fond Memories of Old London Haunts

What would you like to see
if you were going to England
this summer? The changing
of the Guards? The Tower
of London? Shakespeare's
home town? Wordsworth's,
lake country? Winchester
Cathedral?

This is not yet a’ burning
question around our house,
but I've been giving it some

thought. Somehow, tramp-
ing around with a clump of
tourists while some guide
spiels off a bored monologue
doesn't appeal to me.

I spent many a leave ‘in
London during the war, and
never did get around to see-
ing anything historical,
beyond a few ancient pubs.

And when I think of the
south of England, and the

north of England, and Scot-
land, all that comes to mind
is piles of picturesque pubs.
did spend an afternoon
in the cathedral at Chester.
But that was because | was
with a girl, and it was cool
and private i in there. And the
pubs weren't open yet.

I spent a month within a

of ancient

aie Bers ‘fear:
was in the opposite direction
to an ancient and: venerable
thatch-roofed pub, out in the
country,

Another two months was
Spent near Shrewsbury. onc
of the very old county town:
no doubt crawling with hi

tory. All [can remember are
(wo pubs, the Red Lion and
the Old Post Office. When
we didn’t go there. we nipped
across the nearby Welsh bor-
der to the little town of
Oswestry, where there was
a pub with a roaring open fire
and a constant game of Tip-
It, an old game that is as
psychological as poker.

‘One of the few historical

sites I did visit was in the old.

market town of Dumfries, in
Scotland. The site was —
you guessed it—u pub where
the bard Robbie Burns spent
most of his evenings when he

lived neur there. I felt pretty
cultural about that.

When in London, do as
the Londoners do, was my
motto. And you don't find
them standing around gawk-
ing ut the guards or limping
on weary arches through the
Tower. You find them in the

ubs.

Sound like one long.
alcoholic orgy? I hasten to
assure you that it wasn’t. It
was a matter of choles not
a boozer's deli;

You could Ain around
the officers’ mess. This was
a bleak, draughty place with
a few ancient magazines.
The only source of heat was
a fireplace with about three
bits of coal sputtering in it,
and, standing in front of it,
three or four fat senior
officers with whiskies in
hand.

Or you could get on your
bike. with a few kindred

us, and huddle off through
the rain to the pub. There
you found warmth, both
physical and social. Girls —
Navy. Land Army, Waaf.
Local colour. Games — darts,
or shove-ha'-penny. And ‘if

. you hit the right night and
knew the. barmaid, there
might even be spam sand-
wiches. The ale was
incidental.

Well, which of the two
would you have chosen, if
you Were a young man? No
question. Right?

However, that brings me -

to my present predicament.
Ican't very well take my wife
all the way to England and
expect her to be wildly
enthusiastic over nothing but
an extended pub crawl.
Somehow I can't see her
being ecstatic about bicy-
cling through the rain to get
to The Gate Hangs High, up

in North Wales. [thas room

for twelve customers and. we
used to get about thirty in
there.

She might enjoy the C Chee,
hire Cheese, on Fleet Si
the Wagon Shed, at toa
the Nag's Head, behind St.

George's Hospital on Kit- |
tygut St., or the Star and
jarter, St. John’s Wood,

But one interesting pub
becomes much like another
after a white, unless you just
want to get in out of the rain,
or unless you have
memories.

What it comes down to is
this, If a man's going back
to his old haunts, he should
leave his wife at home.
Otherwise, he'll hear some-
thing like, ‘*What in the
world do you see in this

face? The ‘Golden Lion’ my
foot. It looks more like a
brindled dog. When are we
having lunch at Claridges?™

So, I guess the only
choice is to leave her at
home. I'll miss her but I
won't be lonely. I'm going to
call a couple of old buddies, -
Jack Ryan and Bill Proctor,
who have sentimental
memories of the same pubs.
Take them along.

Woops. Ryan has six
kids. Might be a bit awkward
for him. And, oh yeah. Proc-'
tor took his wife to England

friends, .with. ‘disastrous
results. He's forbidden ever
to go again,

‘Oh, well. I guess me and

mouth and watch the old
women whizzing around in
their electric carts.
