"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.

Property committee chair man Howard Pym announced that removal of a hot wate tank at the hospital had turn ed into a major problem because it was asbestos covered and required special removal procedures.

In her final report as Hospital Auxiliary represen- tative on the board, Leone Brock reported on a host of activities and the purchase of 73 ward chairs at a cost of $15,549. Auxiliary members con- tributed 563 hours of volunteer time in helping set up the central registry plan and 16 girls in the teen volunteer program at the hospital contribuated 586 hours in service.

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.

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.
