“Our main concern here,”
said Mr. Steep, “is in getting
patients from one hospital to
another, We have no jurisdict
ion over the problem of attend
ing people to highway accidents;
•We are concerned in a personal
Way, and with, the fact that
people should be able to get
an ambulance when one is- re
quired."
“Some folk have expressed
the idea the police department
• should be in charge of this
work,” noted Mr. Steep.
“As 'administrator,” went on
Mr. Steep, “I cannot Visualize
•accepting the responsibility of
covering accidents and actually
■attending victims there jand
bringing them in to our 'hos
pital.”
On' Monday night Ralph
Hawes, who is offering an am
bulance service with two cars
based in Goderich, approached
town council, in committee to
present a proposed subsidy ar-

it possible for him to continue

figures were not presented in

in this story.)
He was impressed with the
courteous way in which he w!as
received by Clinton council, and
with the 45-mtautes set aside
by that body to hear his presen
tation. ' 1
The News-Record talked with
Mayor Donald Symons, k for his
opinion of the situation,
“I don’t believe that towns
such as Goderich and Clinton
should get (into this,” said May
or Symons. ■"The county should
take some action. If the towns
are forced into the position of
setting a man up in business,
then 'there should be some pro
vincial subsidy.”
Mayor Symons noted that the
service might come'within the
■realllm'of the county Emergency

McEwan’s
Measures Organization. He saw
a possible $11,000’ a year cost
to Clinton.1 the first year, and
something less than this in fol
lowing years.
Then we talked with Mr.
Hawes; We. asked) him about his
qualifications as an ambulance
operator, He’s had extensive
work with the Navy in the
medical branch, and also as
pharmacist’s' mate in the, Mer
chant Navy. He' was a traveller
for a drug firm for a number
of years, and he was instru
mental in forming the George
town Volunteer Ambulance Bri
gade in 1957 which still is in
operation.
He 'reports that his plan for
die county would include eight
trained ambulance operators,:
all qualified' under provincial
regulations. He would station
his cars and men in the various
towns within the county.
Mr. Hawes told us of the
new Ambulance Act which is
expected to come before the
legislature of Ontario this
year, and be passed into law.
This Act will, among other
things, outline the minimum
specifications for ambulances
and minimum, qualifications for
people operating them.
In summing up:
The county is dubious about
setting up county system, as
long as there are some individ
uals interested in continuing
their business as, they have now
set it up — for instance in
Dashwood, Zurich and Seaforth.
The towns are hesitant in
budgeting far what could easily
be 2% to 3 malls of tax-payers
money to subsidize the service.
Funeral directors Who have
‘decided to go out of this bus
mess will not be anxious to re
enter it again-, without some
subsidy.
What the answer is,-remains
in doubt.
In the meantime — until
January 31 to any case, Mr.
Hawes is foiling the breach, and
doing the best he can with
what is at best a break-even
proposition, and to all iikeli-”
hood will mean a loss in rev
enue to ham.

"As I have stated before, it
is our duty to apply ourselves
in your best i interests in all
matters which are vital to our
well being. The action and, de
cisions we make on many mat
ters, I feel, will reflect- the type
of leadership you are support
ing.
"Perhaps one of our biggest
tasks in the immediate future
is planning and zoning. Once
again I feel we will be looking
for help from several outside
organizations, such as our clubs
and ethnic groups, which will
be a very good cross section
of our community. This in turn
should be able to project a plan
which, with guidance from pro
vincial sources, will establish a
true image of our town as be
ing properly planned and unit
ed in progress. This by and
large should assist us in our
endeavours to establish the fact
we- are capable of maintaining'
local governments.
"We in council must be pre
pared _to acquaint ourselves'
with matters which are brought
before us. This, no doubt will
involve considerable research
which may be obtained from
persons who have had previous
experience, which we at all
times welcome. We must then,
of Course, consider what course
of action is in the best interests
of the public desire.
“If in doing this, each one
of us has the courage of his
own convictions, then I sin
cerely trust that our leader
ship will be respected by all,
even those wihotaiay not agree-
“As the head of council I can
assure you that it is always
uppermost in my mind that I
will be able to have full sup
port and guidance from our
department heads arid commit
tees, and I will certainly en
deavour to ensure that coun
cil is informed of all mat
ters that are for .the better
merit of orir comtaunity. When
this has been done, you rriay be
assured that all policy decisions
will be made by council .
