Mrs. Joan Paton does not expect to do much dancing when she attends the York Central Hos- pital Auxiliary’s annual White Rose Ball at the Inn On The Park on May 2, but as dance committee chairman she predicts it will be the best ball ever for the YCHA.

By MARGARET LADE They say you can not keep a good man down. Nor can you defeat a determined woman. “Fortunately I had already been down to the Inn to make arrangements for the dinner before my accident, and we had had some organizational meet- ing. so plans were pretty well underway. ‘Now it is a matter of attending to the details.” If a meeting is necessary. her co-convenor, Mrs. S h e i 1 a Sharpe. and ticket convenor Mrs. Pat Hepler, come to the house. “It is nice to have something to think about when I can‘t get out and around. It keeps me from going around the bend to have people coming in and phoning all the time.” This is the fifth annual White Rose Ball, and the auxiliary hopes to raise $2,000 for the hospital from the sale of 300 tickets, at $20 a couple, plus proceeds from a lucky draw. The White Rose is the em- blem of the auxiliary, and V01- unteer workers at the hospital have a white rose embroidered on their attractive coral-colored smocks.

Mrs. Patbn is warm in her praise of the volunteer workers of the auxiliary. “They are in the midst of redecorating the gift shop, giv- ing it a new spring look, and we have plans for enlarged faci- lities when the new addition is built. Ruth Miller is director of volunteers, and her quarters are pretty cramped now, but they are doing a marvelous job”. A gift cart is wheeled from room to room once a day with gifts and personal items that may be needed by patients. Mrs. Paton was chairman of a local branch of the auxiliary for two years, and is now in her second year of a two-year term as corresponding secretary for the general executive. Money raised by the auxiliary has provided many pieces of equipment to aid in diagnosis and treatment of patients â€" equipment that is beyond the means of the operating budget and not covered by government grants. “The administrator always has a list of needs." said Mrs. Paton. “and we try to provide them in order of priority." For recreation. she and Mr. Paton curl with Richmond Hill Curling Club during the winter. then when. the good weather comes they head for their cot- tage in Muskoka at every op- portunity.

Oshawa Unit. Although it is faced with a serious budget deficit. and may have to drastically curtail serv- ices, the Ontario County Coun- cil last week turned down a plan for union which would mean $104,392 more in immedi- ate grants. Won't Join York- Oshawa Turns Down District Health Plan Ontario County Loses 0n Grant The amalgamation of health services in York and Ontario Counties and the City of Osh- awa was proposed in March 1968. by Health Minister Dr. Matthew Dymond. who repre- sents Ontario County in the Legislature. Ontario County Council. how- ever. remained adamant in its refusal to give up financial con- trol of its own health unit. By agreeing to provide joint services, the York-Oshawa unit which came into being July 1. 1968 qualified for a 75 percent provincial grant. Ontario County is getting only 50 percent of its budget requirements from the province. Dr. Dymond has continued in his efforts to bring the county into the enlarged unit. but the county council rejected the plan again last week. Despite its determination to run its own health service. the Ontario County Council antici- pated an increase in the pro- vincial grant. and budgeted ac- cordingly. approving expendi- tures of $421.000 during 1969. When he learned in March that there would be no increase in grants, Reeve John Williams of Pickering Township predict- ed that the county would run out of funds for health services around the end of July. “The budget can‘t be changed," he claimed. In rejecting another appeal from Dr. Dymond last week, he said, “Dr. Dymond himself has admitted that in a very few years we would pay more in our 25 percent share than we now pay in our 50 percent share."
