Municipality's business won't
be affected by Clark's absence
Lucknow council hopes that a battery of
tests Reeve Herb Clark is scheduled to
have in London won't have an adverse
affect on conducting the municipality's
business.
Clark was admitted to Wingham and
District Hospital last week and is schedul-
ed for tests in London.
,The reeve and the clerk are typically
authorized to conduct municipal business
with both signatures used.. for signing
cheques for services. Councillor Eldon
Mann said Clerk Bertha Whitcroft and
visiting councillors have taken cheques for
Clark to sign and haven't run into any
problems as yet.
"Ab Murray will be going to county
council," said Mann, adding that Murray •
has experience at that council because he
"filled in for George Joynt."
"It's not affecting business, We're
hoping Herb's out by the regular meet-
ing."

A `nniracle' saves. 41/4 year -odd Adria Graham
ley Steve Gombos
Deirdre Graham. of RR 1 Lucknow
says "a miracle" saved her 41/2 -year-
old daughter's life last October.
And she said the miracle is still
working its wonders by giving . her
daughter the chance to lead a normal
life.
A determined little Adria Graham is
learning to walk, talk and read all over
again after almost drowning Oct. 26 at a
chicken cleaning plant near Lucknow.
Her mother said the girl climbed into
a tank holding effluent, thinking it was a
sandbox.
Mrs. Graham and husband Lloyd
found the girl, pulled her out and
quickly began Cardio Pulminary Resus-
citation (CPR).
It wasn't until sometime during the
ambulance ride to Kincardine and
District General Hospital that a heart
beat was established. By then the girl
had brain damage and suffered from
hypothermia.
Doctors at Kincardine worked on the
child further and then she was
transported to Western Ontario ChiId-
ren's Hospital in London for more
treatment. She arrived at . London in
critical condition.
Medical experts helped keep Adria
alive, but they couldn't promise how
much of a recovery she would make.
Mrs. Graham said Adria . has already
achieved more than the doctors ; could
promise and continues to progress.
When the danger was over, Adria lay
recovering in a hospital bed. Eventually
it was time for therapists to take over for
doctors to try and coax •Adria into
relearning all that she had forgotten.
"She started back from being a baby.
She had to learn everything again;"'
said her mother.
