Public health nurses strike next week
The 15 public health nurses
who work for the Huron County
Health Unit will be joining 20
other locals of the Ontario Nurses
Association in a one week protest
strike starting on Monday, June
14,
Marlene Price, from the
Health Unit's Seaforth office, said
the nurses want an arbitration
clause. Huron PFIN's have been
negotiating with the Huron Board
of Health since last September.
"We're so far apart but we could
settle without a strike if we had
arbitration," Mrs. Price said.
The Huron nurses' contract
was up. last July but Mrs. Price
said the Huron ONA local isn't
saying how 'far apart the nurses
and the county are. The Huron
public health nurses do say that'
the Board's offer is still "a long
way from a hospital nurse's
salary."

meals out even on Christmas Day,
and Mrs. Vincent and Mrs.
McNairn praised all the volunteer
drivers. "It's hard in the winter
sometimes to get out, with snow
and cars skidding around,.. but
. they always. Make it."
Meals on Wheels could use
more volunteer drivers, to spell.
the regulars, off. And more
recipients are always welcome.
Anyone-in Seaforth, Egmondville
or Harpurhey is eligible. The
program can't expand to the rural
townships because it would be too
far to ask volunteers to' drive.
Delivering the meals usually
takes each, volunteer about a half
hour, beginning •vvith pick up at

volunteers‘only work One day per

Mrs. Pepper and the hospital
staff could provide Up to eight or
nine meals each day. "If anyone,

Many Seaforth people will have
missed a familiar face on Main St.
They'll have .noticed that things
aren't quite 'the same when they
go into Stewart Bros. to shop.
What has been missing is the
smiles and enthusiasm of Davina
Anderson, longtime Stewart's
employee, who has been away
since last fall in hospital. Davina
is one ofthosepeople who is Main
St. to generations of Seaforth
children. We were happy to see
her, smiling and looking almost
her old self, out for a drive. in
Bayfield on Sunday. Her injured
foot is recovering rapidly and
Davina should be out and around
on Main St. again soon. •

Local historian [Bele Campbell
tells us that Seaforth Collegiate
Institute's most famous graduate,.
Alberta Premier Bill Aberhardt,
lived on the farm now owned by
Mrs. Alex (Ethel) Boyes on the
Mill 'Road. MisS Campbell says
Mr. Aberhardt was born on the
Staffa Ii ne, not fai: from the Red
Tavern .and that' he lived on the
Boyes farm with his family from
about 18.88 until 1903.
Discussion at the last meeting
of the Seaforth Agricultural
Conservation ' • Advisory
Committee (SACAC) centred
around the fact that no one on the
committee knew where one of
Seaforth's most famous former
citizens had lived. In fact he
didn't live in town at, all, so the
committee doesn't have to be too
.embarassed, about not knowing
the whereabouts of a prospective
historic site.
Many people are surprised by
the number ,of us who work at the
Expositor. On a visit to the office
they see Carol Hunt and Dianne
McGrath in the front. Rumour has
it 4-tat those two put out 20 pages
a week by themselves. They could
do it mind you, •but they don't.
