Clinton Public hospital is plan-
ning on purchasing a fetal monitor,
a CPR adult mannequin and two
computer work stations this year.
The purchases were discussed at
the hospital board's Feb. 22 meet-
ing.
The fetal monitor for the obstetri-
cal unit will cost $11,275 while the
mannequin was priced at $2,398.
The computer work stations and
associated software of an inventory
management system will cost
$6,230.
Approval was also given for the
purchase of a mechanical sector
transducer for the ultrasound
machine in the amount of $9,905.
Members of the fmance commit-
tee stated the hospital still expects
to live within its 1992/93 capital
budget. It is not expected that the
allowance for computer purchases
will be spent this year.
The hospital is working with a
surplus of $378,854.
The finance committee also
reviewed banking tenders received
and recommended the board accept
the Royal Bank of Canada tenders
to provide banking services to the
hospital for the next three years.
Executive Director Allan Halls
gave a report to the board and indi-
cated the hospital needed to order
new letterhead paper. He inquired
whether the board would prefer the
hospital to change to white paper
stock with blue logo rather than the
two-colour logo currently in use.
This would result in annual savings
to the hospital of approximately
$400, he said. The suggestion was
passed by the board.
A complimentary letter was read
to the board from the family of the
late Garnet Harland. The letter
complimented the hospital and its
staff for compassionate and sup-
portive care during Mr. Harland's
stay in hospital.
A report from the Strategic Plan-
ning Committee was read. It
revealed a planning retreat has been
set for April 3 to which hospital
board members and medical staff
will be invited.

MNR officers
urge dog
owners to
control pets
Conservation Officers of the
Ministry of Natural Resources
(MNR) are urging dog owners to
keep their dogs under control. The
deep snow topped with a crust is
making it difficult for deer to
manoeuvre from their cover areas
to their feeding areas. The deer are
beginning to feel the effects of the
deep snow and do not need the
added stress of being chased by
roaming dogs. The does are heavy
with fawn right now and could
become easy prey for dogs.
The deer population in Huron
and Perth Counties was in excellent
shape going into this past winter
but if the deep snow had arrived
earlier in the winter, some of the
deer, particularly last year's fawns
would have had quite a struggle.
The winters of the last five years
have been relatively easy on the
local deer herds and thus the
population has rapidly expanded,
but it could decline just as quickly
if we receive heavy snows again
during the next few years.
Under the Game and Fish Act, it
is an offence for anyone to allow a
dog to run at large during the
closed season for deer. The
maximum penalty is a fine of
$25,000.
In addition, an officer may
destroy any dog found running a
deer during the closed season. If
you are aware of any area where
dogs are harassing deer, please call
a Conservation Officer at the time
of the incident.
The 1993 deer seasons have also
just been declared. The five day
controlled deer hunt in Huron
County will be Nov. 1 - 5 while the
archery hunt will be Oct. 15 - Oct.
31 and Nov. 6 - Dec. 31.
The five day controlled deer hunt
in Perth County will be Nov. 29 -
Dec. 3 while the archery season
will be Oct. 15 - Nov. 28 and Dec.
4 - Dec. 31.
Further details are available at
the MNR office at RR 5, Wingham,
Ontario (519) 357-3131.
