NICO PETERS
One person has declared his
candidacy and two others are
expected to follow as the Progres
sive Conservative party prepares
for a provincial election in Huron
riding.
Nico Peters, a 36-year-old Tuck
ersmith township farmer is the first
declared candidate for the party’s
nomination to oppose provincial
agriculture minister Jack Riddell
when an election is called. The
Conservatives will choose their
candidate at a nomination meeting
scheduled for the Central Huron
Secondary School in Clinton on
April 14 at 8 p.m.
Mr. Peters is a vice-president of
the Huron Progressive Conserva
tive Association and is active in
several community and agricultur
al organizations.
In a press release announcing
his candidacy, he said he was
aware of the frustrations of the
people in the county that the
present economic boom has passed
the area by. With increases in taxes
and a windfall of $1 billion revenue,
the provincial Liberal government
should be doing more to promote
the prosperity of local communi
ties, he said.

see volunteer canvassers working
towards raising more than
$150,000. The money will go
towards a major building project at
the hospital that will see the
construction of a new obstetrics
facility and the renovation of the
chronic care area of the hospital.
The cost of the project is estimated
at close to $1-million.
The door-to-door canvass is a
major source of fund raising for the
project and plans are well under
way for the endeavour which is
scheduled to take place on the week
beginning Monday, April 27.
Some 16 local people have
volunteered to act as canvass
captains for the drive. They in turn
are recruiting canvass teams who
will carry out the door-to-door
canvass.
This extensive fund raising
effort will see canvassers calling on
all Clinton residents, as well as
those in Bayfield and Auburn, and
householders in the townships of
Goderich, Stanley, Tuckersmith,
Hullett, East and West Wawa-
nosh.
Fund raising organizers are
confident that the canvass will be a
success. The demand for obstetri
cal services has increased at CPH
to nearly triple from just a few
years ago. In 1980, some 55 babies
were born atthe hospital. This year
the figure is expected to exceed
150.
The present obstetrical facility is
over 40 years old and is combined
with the chronic care unit, chronic
care has been recognized as one of
the most rapidly growing needs in
hospital care. In order to provide
essential and modern medical
services in both the obstetrical and
chronic care areas, CPH must
update its facilities.
Construction on the new addi
tion is expected to begin this
spring. It will add aprpoximately
5,000 square feet to the present
hospital.
As well as the door-to-door
canvass, the fund raising commit
tee is staging a variety of special
events programs throughout the
year to help raise dollars for their
overall goal of $400,000.
