Roll up your sleeve to save a life.. The car on the end* of the tow truck hoist was - considered unfit for the road by an Ontario Department of Transport crew working at a safety checkpoint near Holmesville last week. In co-operation with the Ontario Provincial Police, older model cars were flagged down and sent through the checking lanes for a complete examination by transport department mechanic?. If the car was found to be unsafe, the driver was cautioned not to drive it away but have it towed to a nearby garage for repairs.

For Your Fall Fertilizer Requirements Reeve explains new setup ! «. Clinton Reeve Duff Thomp­ son, who is also chairman of the Huron County Library Board said Tuesday that several rate, payers in the county have been asking questions about the new library setup. He indicated that a report in the London Free Press on Tues, day, September 19, headlined “Library courier fleet begins daily service to Ontario uni ver­ sifies” might give some indic­ ation of the kind of service ,that is planned for Huron. “We won’t be that sophisticated, though” he quipped. Reeve Thompson, who has been responsible for much of the research into the project just accepted in the county last year, said the plan is to cat­ alogue all present and future books in every library in Huron and circulate, or make avail- able to everyone, everything owned by the Huron County Lib­ rary system. “It would be possible,” ex. plained Thompson, “for a book in the Bly th library to be avail­ able in the Zurich library. And if students anywhere in the county require special refer. ■" ence books which are not in the home library, it will be possible to get them very quickly if they are in the county at all,” Looking into the future, Reeve Thompson could foresee a prov­ incial library system, 'a nat. ional library system and some, day perhaps, an international ' library system. “Librarians in the future will have a new status,” the Reeve continued. “They will not be judges of reading material, but servants of the people.” Lighting systems and alignment came under careful scrutiny at the Ontario Department of Transport Safety Check ne,ar Holmesville last week in co-operation with the Ontario Provincial Police. Crews were looking for any mechanical failures which could contribute to accidents if not repaired in time. Although older model cars were the prime' object of inspection, newer cars were welcomed and checked free of charge. In the event that an unsafe car was found, the police urged the driver not to move the vehicle, except to have it towed to a nearby garage for repairs. Choice of mechanic was, of course, up to the owner of the car, AGRICO FERTILIZER on Wheat, Pasture, Hay Fields and LONOESBORO LONDESBORO - The Berean Unit of the United Church Women conyened on Thursday.

Staff shortage to blame for unfavourable report Assistant superintendant at Huronview Orval Jantzi said that a temporary staff short, age was to blame for the some, what unfavorable report filed by the Grand Jury following a tour of the premises on Sept, ember 5. Mr, Jantzi explained that the regular cleaning woman in the women’s bed care wing, where the delegation was making its inspection, was off work with a sprained ankle. To further complicate matters, no substi. tute help could be located al- though nursing staff did make every effort to help with the cleaning chores during the week. The Home employs three full-, time cleaning women and three fulltime male cleaners, respon. sible for halls, waiting rooms, dining rooms, sitting rooms, offices, etc. The Grand Jury report said, “It is our recommendation that more care be devoted to a better cleaning and dusting pro­ gram, and also that bed frames should be washed more regularly.” £ Jantzi admitted it was pos. sible that there was “some dust under the beds,” but he was hesitant to agree with the report which implied that the bed frames were dirty. Huronview head nurse Mrs. Dick Jacob who was on vac­ ation at the time of the in­ spection, said she was “shocked” at the report. Mrs. Jacob, interviewed by a News-Record reporter daring a personal visit to Huronview last Monday, pointed out several beds as they were being strip­ ped and washed with a dis. inf ectant. “It is a weekly routine,” she insisted. “Each bed is comp, letely torn apart and disinfec­ ted by the nursing staff.” “We try to- keep a home­ like atmosphere here,” Mrs. Jacob continued. “Many of our patients are up and about dur. ing the day, moving from room to room. The floors do get scuffed but they are not dirty.” Mrs. Jacob came to Huron. • view when the Home was jUst beginning. “This last opening was my third opening,” she said, adding that never before has there been any question about the cleanliness of the premises. “It is unfortunate that they (the Grand Jury) had to come when we happened to be short staffed.
