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.
This one, branded “Puffa-Puffa Rice’’ is on
its way to the mechanic of the owner’s choice,
Crews looked to see that head,
lights, tall lights, brake lights
and signal lights were in work,
ing order, tires were in safe
condition, brakes and front end
were satisfactory and that the
car was roadworthy, generally..

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,

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.
