utilization in the active and
• out-patient support areas has
continued to rise between 20
and 30 percent and has been
accomplished without any ad-
ditions to the staff, although
it has hada directly bearing on
the cost of operation.
"It is obvious we cannot
continue to experience this
degree of growth without
some compensating support
from the ministry of health to
offset the effect of such," he
suggested
Sheeler was warm in his
praise for the assistance from
University Hospital and said
that when considering the
recommendations of the
Dubin Report resulting from
the inquiry at Hospital for
Sick Children, Toronto, the
local institution was indeed
fortunate to have had the
University providing it with a
pharmacy program, making
it one of the few hospitals
which have implemented a
Unit Dose system within the
province.
Sheeler also emphasized
the continuation of the major
emphasis on a public rela-
tions program, saying it was
extremely important in his
opinion that the public be kept
current and informed on the
happenings within their
hospital.

tor a prolonged period.
The superintendent, an Ex-
eter resident, noted that pro-
vincial spending for education
had dropped to a number
• three ranking now and ex-
plained that five years ago the
province paid 75 percent of
the education costs in Huron
and now pay only 65 percent.
The local taxpayers have had
to pick up the difference.
Councillor Bill Rose
wondered if there had been
any consideration given to
closing down schools to
reduce overhead , and
McDonald said that some
schools have been "red -
circled" for consideration and
he opined that some may be
closed within five years.
However, he added that it
was not as simple to close
schools in a rural area as it is
in a city jurisdiction due to the
sizeable busing . costs that
would be involved.
When asked how the Huron
costs compare with other
neighboring jurisdictions, the
two board- representatives
said the costs were com-
parable and Gryseels added
that Huron's per pupil cost is
actually below the provincial
average.
Councillor Morley Hall said
it didn't make much sense to
him that the ministry of
emphasized the generous con-
tribution of the Auxiliary in
their report:'.
The printed' program • for
the annual meeting contained
several pages of pictures and
stories relating to the 30 years
of the hospital's history.
Area collisions
Continued from front page
by Ronald McCracken, Lon-
don. He drove off Cedarbank
Road west of Highway 21 and
struck a tree. Damage was
listed at $2,100 and the driver
suffered minor injuries.
On the same day, Robert
Spruytte, RR 2 Lucan, left
County Road 5 and struck a
tree east of concession 4-5 in
Stephen. He escaped injury
and damage was $3,000.
There were no injuries in
either of the Sunday colli-
sions, the first involving a
vehicle driven by Randy
Parker, Hensel!. His vehicle
left Highway 83 west of Ex-
eter, entered the ditch and
struck a line fence. Damage
was $1,000.
The other involved vehicles
driven by Christopher Steele,
Grand Bend, and Mary Bill-
ington, Grand Bend. They col-
lided on Pebble Beach
Parkway in Grand Cove
Estates •with resulting
damage of $450.
Over the week, the Exeter
OPP laid one impaired driv-
ing charge and six liquor
charges. There were 16
tickets handed out to speeders
and one person was charged
with possession of a narcotic.

while at the same time their
funding for those programs is
reduced.
• "We agree," McDonald
said in reference to that
opinion.
A suggestion that the board
consider putting staff on five-
year contracts similar to a
policy adopted regarding the
police chief in London met
with little favor from
Gryseels.
He said there were some
advantages to that, but also a
lot of disadvantages.
"How do you remove bad
apples?" asked Mickle.
"We handle it," Gryseels
added.
However, that failed to con-
vince Councillor Gaylen
Josephson who asked how
many teachers had been
relieved of their duties in the
last five years and then quick-
ly told Gryseels not to bother
answering that.
The latter said he could
answer it and told Josephson
if he or any parent had con-
4 Big.
Days
Onl
cerns regarding teachers they
should contact an official of
the board.
Josephson said few would
do that because they feared
retaliation from the teachers
towards their children.
Councillor Bill Rose
entered that discussion to say
that students appear to know
what teachers are not doing
the job effectively or are
incompetent.
"Make them produce or
kick them out," he told
Gryseels, adding that. he
didn't think the review pro-
cess used to ensure compe-
tent teaching is very good.
The session ended with
Mickle telling the two board
officials the visit was ap-
preciated and had given coun-
cil members an opportunity
to vent some of their frustra-
tions and concerns.
He said such meetings
should possibly be held in a
more organized manner so
the lines of communication
could be kept open.
Gryseels responded by say-
ing that all board meetings
are open to he public and ad-
mitted that concerns over
education were increasing
from all municipalities, not
just Exeter.
