fire protection costly
East Wawanosh is paying
dearly for fire protection to the
north end of the township
through its membership in the
Wingham Area Fire Board,
Township Councillor Fred Meier
told a public meeting at the
township municipal building
Oct. 16.
The building of a new fire hall
and purchase of new equipment
has meant high costs for fire
protection in the northern part of
the township, Councillor Meier
said. The township could "forget
about Wingham and go with
Blyth for the whole township but
people at the north end might not
be happy," he said.
He said that the fire board
went along with the fire depart-
ment's recommendation that the
new fire hall should be built big
enough to meet the needs of the
next 20 years but "we didn't
think they'd try to fill it the first
year." The firemen then asked
for the purchase of a new rescue
van and $12,000 worth of rescue
equipment including Scott air
packs and "jaws of life" equip-
ment for removing people from
trapped cars.
In addition training is going on
for firemen for a new 18-man
Howick department and once
training is complete, the Wing-
ham area board will pick up the
costs of operating that depart-
ment.
East Wawanosh's share of the
Wingham-area bill is eight per
cent as is Morris'. Turnbcrry
pays 23 percent and Howick 29
per cent.
Underthe agreement, how-
ever, all equipment purchased
now belongs to the fire board, not
the town of Wingham as under
the old agreement. It means that
any municipality can pull out of
the agreement by giving one
year's notice and receive it's
share of the assets, less the
depreciation.

UNICEF coins help kids around the world
This Hallowe'en have your coins
ready for the trick-or-treaters and
their UNICEF boxes, and you will be
helping UNICEF supply basic edu-
cation around the world.
UNICEF brings education and
literacy to children and mothers by
helping governments print text-
books, build classrooms and train
teachers. UNICEF is particularly
interested in closing the gap be-
tween female and male education
statistics. It recognizes that a 'bother
who can read is in a much better
position to care for and teach her
children than is an illiterate mother.
When you see a Canadian school
child at your doorwith a UNICEF box
on Hallowe'en, please be generous -
you are helping to bring schooling to
another child in the Third World.
By putting coins into Trick-or-
Treater:, UNICEF boxes on Hallo-
we'en, you are helping UNICEF
fight the five biggest child killers in
the world: polio, measles, whooping
cough, tetanus and tuberculosis.
Today, most of these diseases are
only a bad memory in the developed
world, but in the Third World
nations they remain a major threat to
child survival. You can give a child a
tomorrow by helping UNICEF fight
communicable diseases. It is as easy
as "Trick-or-Treat".
