MENTAL HEALTH
PROBLEM FACED

Because of the cessation of
federal government health
grants, the Metropolitan Board of
Health has: asked for an ex-
pansion of the provincial mental
health services to allow. the
continuance of preventive ser-
vices in the schools.

It was explained at the Sep-
tember meeting of the Board that
M. McCracken, $825-a-
month part time psychologist has
been released from her post
through lack of funds, and it was
resolved to suggest to regional
municipal councils that they
provide the psychologist's salary
on a sharing basis.

Sidney health board delegate
Mrs. Norma Sealey, reporting to
council on Monday said: ‘In view
of the very small cost to us, I
suggest we should support it if the
other. municipalities come for-
ward.” She explained that the
work is part of the preventive
schools mental health program.

Aldermen Herb Perry and Hugh
Hollingworth agreed, but
Alderman Wilkie Gardner
wondered if such services are

really necessary.

BY PAT MUNSON
A mixed reaction from delegates to the Union of B.C.
Municipalities annual convention is revealed in com-
ments made after the event. One alderman described

the gathering as

‘ta complete demoralization of

municipal government’’ but others felt that a much
wider understanding of administrative problems had

been gained.

Most agreed that while the
resolutions passed represent
little more than a hammering-
away at problems of long stan-
ding which may or may not affect
provincial government policies,
the real value of the three-day
convention is found in informal
discussions.

This year there was less time
for . unscheduled ‘talks. The
U.B.C.M. convention presented a
tight schedule of business and
seminars~ with top-ranking
speakers.

Ald. Trevor Davis of.-North
Saanich felt that the U.B.C.M.
