Wingham
desperate
for firefighters
Members of the Wingham Area
Fire Board say they may consider
hiring firefighters from surround
ing townships if the present
shortage of manpower continues.
Up until now, only volunteers from
within the boundaries of the Town
of Wingham have been accepted,
because it is felt they can respond
more quickly to a fire call.
“But if anybody from the
country nearby is interested, we’ll
be glad to consider him on an
individual basis,” said Lynn Hi
ckey, Deputy Chief of the Wing
ham firq department.
As of last month, three men had
resigned from the department,
citing a lack of time for the proper
commitment, according to Fire
Chief Harley Gaunt.
“Part of the problem is that
some employers will not allow
employees to leave work during the
day, and I can certainly understand
their point of view,’’ said Mr.
Hickey.
The Wingham Area Fire Board
pays its volunteer firefighters an
hourly rate while they are out on a
call. As well, it is offering several
volunteers a special incentive of
$40 to remain on call during both
the August 1 and Labour Day
weekends, periods when volun
teers are often in short supply.
The Wingham Area Fire Board
has recently hired its first woman
fire fighter, Karen Knight of
Wingham. “She’s working out real
good,” said Mr. Hickey.
Under the Mutual Aid agree
ment, the Wingham Fire Depart
ment may respond to calls outside
of Wingham, if required. Repre
sentatives of Morris, East Wawa-
nosh, Turnberry and Culross
Township councils serve on the
Wingham Area Fire Board; Howie
Morton and Bert Elliott represent
Morris Twp , while Jim Taylor and
Fred Meier, Sr. represent East
Wawanosh.
Mr. and Mrs. Arnold Mathers of
Exeter will be in charge of the joint
service in Knox United Church,
Belgrave on Sunday morning at
11:15, July 26.

England, after spending the past

Mrs. Winnifred Johnston of
Wingham accompanied Mr. and
Mrs. Lewis Stonehouse to spend a

and sister-in-law, Mr. and Mrs.

with their families of Petrolia.
In a brief ceremony last Friday, Gordon B. Elliott was presented with a plaque by Zurich Insurance
