People who have come through these areas as patients have no problem seeing the improvements, she says, but many who have not used the hospital since the work was done, do not realize the extend of the changes. The survey also found people tend to question the necessity of all public sector spending as a result of the current economic slump. The survey adds however, if the board can prove the new wing is necessary and urgent, it will get the required financial support from the community. The board is happy with the survey Discuss fire siren issue... •from page 1 the speed limit will kill somebody. The risk of such an accident increases if the siren is not turned on because the public is not aware there is a fire. Murray said firemen answering a call are not outside the law and should not be travelling at speeds beyond the speed limit, whether driving their own vehicles to the firehall or while travelling in the fire trucks to the scene. Murray said he took one ride to a fire in the department's emergency van and he will never ride to a fire in that "suicide wagon" again. The van is not equipped with seatbelts for the passengers and the drivers of the van are driving too fast and they are inexperienced, Murray said. Murray allowed that firemen do drive faster than the speed limit permits but within reason. Ten miles over the speed limit is one thing, said Murray, but 20 or 30 miles over the limit is another. Murray commented the Lucknow Fire Department is a good department and it's too bad a controversy is dividing the men. Murray said it's a good department and George Whitby is a good fire chief and it's time the issue was resolved. Murray said he would understand the fire bo•:rd to have the authority to make the decision concerning the siren. It shouldn't be left to one man, he suggested. Murray said he will be resigning from the department as of the next fire meeting. He said he volunteered for the job and he can "unvolunteer" . Bomb blast... •from page 1 responsibility for the blast was one of three groups that took responsibility for the assassination of a Turkish diplomat in Brussels July 14. The Armenian terrorists claim Turks massacred thousands of Armen- ians at the turn of the century. A Turkish diplomat was assassinated in Ottawa a year ago by Armenian terrorists. Four of the dead in the explosion at the airport were Turkish nationals and one was a French bystander. 133 picture perfect playgrounds for you to discover.

Board members are solidly behind the initial project, she says, and forming the committee is an attempt to provide answers to any questions the public may have. For example, she notes, some people have asked why the hospital did not combine the two projects adding the emergency and outpatient wing at•the same time it did the other renovations. This was impossible explains the board chairman, because there is a very long waiting list for Health Ministry funding of major capital projects. By splitting the work into two smaller projects, the hospital was able to get quicker approval from the ministry. The current project, which would add a single storey wing to the south end of the hospital for expanded emergency and out- patient departments and permit expansion of the X-ray department within the existing building, is still on the drawing board. To date, the hospital has received ministry Wins Pinecrest draw Bob Page from Pickering won the $200 gift certificate at Wheels Inn, Chatham, in a draw sponsored by the Residents' Council of Pinecrest Manor Nursing Home, Lucknow. approval of its preliminary drawings and the architect is at work on the working drawings, Vair reports. Once they have been approved, the project can go to tender. The total cost of the project is estimated about $1.4 million, of which the board hopes to raise a substantial portion locally. No firm target for the fund raising campaign has yet been set, but figures have been mentioned ranging between $300,000 and $600,000. The Health Ministry has agreed to provide $250,000, with additional grants to come from Huron and Bruce counties, and the hospital will make up the balance from its own capital reserves. So far the board has not set a target date for either the kickoff of the fund raising campaign or the sod turning for the new wing, but says Vair it hopes to tie the two events together and is considering dates sometime in the fall.
