WE AGREE ENTIRELY with John Winter-
meyer when he stated that he .deteSted politics
which perenitted .project such as the badly
needed hospital for retarded children to be used
as an influence to gain votes.
If the hospital is needed, as it has been
quite definitely decided, then the location of the
building, And when construction is started,
should have no relation to the party which is
in power now, or in the future.
There have been a number of rumours
throughout this and the western part of the
riding, concerning the location.
The facts seem to be this: on April 16, at
the Progressive . Conservative convention, when
the candidate for Huron was selected, the min-
ister of agriculture stated that Lots 13 and 14
of Concession 1, in Goderich Township, some
three miles' south of G(oderich, had been bought
and that a 1,300 bed hospital school would' be
built there.
Since then the Conservative party has re-
peatedly stated the hospital would be built. This
information has been included in campaign lit-
erature.
As this is written, land has not been pur-
chased but options have been taken on both the
land mentioned above—and on some more locat-
ed north of Goderich.
Tuesday night the Conservative candidate
stated "definitely and positively" that it would
be 'built where Goodfellow said it would be. He
also intimated that when Prime Minister Leslie
Frost appeared in the county this week, he
would be making a similar statement.
Certainly, especially with a by-election in
the offing it is particularly important that no
indecision be shown 'in this matter. It is too
bad that a problem in this regard has come up.
Now that it has, we would hope that all indec-
ision in the matter be corrected as soon as pos-
sible,

Only 1,666 alcoholic cases in
Ontario last year were reached
by special treatment services, A
few others received help in hos-
pitals, private clinics and penal
institutions. Ontario has an est-
imated 76,000 alcoholics. Four th,.
ousand new cases are added each
year.
These statistics were tabled in
the Ontario legislature recently by
the Alcoholism Research Found-
ation.
One hopeful trend was pointed
out in the report. Employers are
awakening to the fad that al-
coholism is a very serious problem
in industry. In employee groups
the Foundation has surveyed, from
3 to 6 percent have alcohol pro-
blems. These employees average
181 days absenteeism per year.
about 10 days above the normal
rate. The answer to this serious
problem? Surely not only more
facilities for cure, but much more
intensive prevention, measures —
through education of youth in
home, church and school.

ARE YOU
SURE, YOUR
FAMILY IS
PROTECTED?
Have you planned your
state so your wife and
children will be safe . . . or have you simply
made a will, and: left it at that?
Think twice! Could your wife administer your
estate? Does she understand Tax regulations
and Succession Duties? If she died, how long
would your children wait for the courts to
settle your will . . . until they were 21? What
would they do until then?
Think twice, and you'll realize why so many
men and women enlist the services of Sterling
Trusts in the all-important matter of Estate
Planning. Sterling Trusts is a firm that takes a
personal interest in helping you.
