Dr. Murray Workman, son of
Jean and the late Sam Workman,
was one of the featured guests on a
special week-long news feature for
Global Television Network. Murray
appeared on Monday’s telecast to
discuss the problem of doctor
“burn-out”.
Following graduation from the
University of Western Ontario,
Murray began his practice in Rainy
River, a small town located in
northern Ontario on the border of
Manitoba and the U.S. As in other
northern communities, there has
been effort placed on enticing other
physicians to come north.
Should Murray decide to leave
Rainy River the town would be
forced to close its hospital leaving
the residents with the situation of
having to travel one hour to the
next closest hospital. This puts
pressure on Murray as well as the
residents of the tiny northern
community, and that was the basis
of the Global broadcast.
Members of the Brussels Fire
Department recently passed the St.
John’s Ambulance CPR course to
the standards of the Canadian
Heart Foundation at the level of
Heart Saver. They are: Fire Chief
Howard Bernard, John Exel, Doug
Sholdice, Ross Somers, Jim Old
field, Jack Overholt, Albert
Roetcisoender and Murray Mc-
Arter. The course was taught by
Betty Graber.
Holly Dauphin, daughter of Gary
and Heather, won the junior divi
sion of the F. E. Madill’s public
speaking contest at the Wingham
Legion on Saturday, February 17.
Holly’s topic was something famil
iar to most of us ... “Dieting”. She
will be competing in Clinton on
March 3.
Margaret Jarvis, daughter of
Frank and Mary Stretton took
second place in the senior division
for her speech on the environment.
Margaret is entering the Lions
competition to be held on March
13.
Congratulations to both and best
of luck.
Jeff Huether of Brampton was

of increasing the membership. On
the motion of Sarah Stephenson
