Hope to form GB rescue crew Jerry Baby, a skipper of the crew of Auxiliary Coast Guard personnel who patrol from Rondeau. in Lake Erie. to the north shore of Lake Huron spoke to members of the Grand Bend Harbour Committee at Wednesday's meeting in an effort to organize an auxiliary ere.•'• from Grand Bend. He stressed the fact that search and rescue for this part of Ontario was organiz- ed from CFB Trenton and is coordinated with U.S. coast guard squads. He felt that not enough harbour groups realized that search and rescue could be' quickly organized for boaters in trou- ble by a phone call to the Trenton base. Two weeks ago, Trenton organized the rescue of a family .on a sail boat. near Grand Bend, when the lake became too rough for them to sail the craft into the Port Franks harbour after their engine failed. A U.S. army helicopter was dispatched from the St. Clair river to lift the family to safety. Hillaby asked the commit- tee to come up with some names of volunteers and sug- gested that a fishing tug would be an appropriate boat for rescues from Grand Bend. He assured the group that ex- penses were paid by the Cana- dian Coast Guard. "You get the names and I'll put it together for you," he said. Chairman, Tom Lawson, said that the committee would refer the matter to Len Brady stresses importance of hospital volunteers The need for a strong public relations program and en- couraging volunteers to assist in the work of a hospital were outlined by London radio celebrity Bill Brady during his brief address at the annual meeting of the South Huron Hospital. Tuesday. Brady. who serves on the board of directors of Univer- sity Hospital. commended local hospital officials for the obvious significance which they attach to public relations. He said there was no time in which the public was more justified in knowing what was going on in their hospitals. "People have a right 'to know," he said, adding that was the case not only because their tax dollars were involv- MPPS' EXPENSES Huron -Middlesex MPP' Jack Riddell claimed $51.709.16 beyond his normal salary to cover extra ex- penses associated with his position in the last fiscal year. The extra costs cover such things as travel. legislative and constituency office expenses. Tops among the 125 MPPs was Prescott -Russell Liberal Don Boudria, who -spent $89.600.45. Middlesex MPP Robert Eaton filed for $63,321.99; Huron -Bruce MPP Murray Elston for $64.416.58; Lamb - ton MPP Lorne Henderson for $48.839.70 and Perth MPP Hugh Edighoffer for $42,681.41. ed, but also because their well-being was involved. "You want them to know you have excellent health care available," he commented after complimenting the ad- ministration and staff on the accomplishment of receiving a three-year accreditation. On the topic of volunteer work, Brady said he couldn't imagine a community func- tioning without a volunteer component, nor could he im- agine himself not being a volunteer. Pointing to the work of the hospital auxiliaries and the candy striper programs, Brady said these groups save countless thousands of dollars and free up trained medical staff for other important work. "It's a good thing to give and serve...it's the greatest the achievement of the human spirit." The CFPL-Radio executive used examples of the equip- ment being used and con- sidered at University Hospital to back his contention that hospitals are on the threshold of a new technology. He said there were machines costing millions of dollars being developed for health care and 'the annual operating cost of some of those machines was also a million dollars. Brady and his wife had been at the hospital prior to the meeting to visit Fred Darling. The London per- sonality remarked that he had been in the town's jail previously. but never in the hospital.

Hume, who has been in- vestigating the possibility of having such an auxiliary in Grand Bend. Meanwhile, Lawson said information would be posted at the new harbour building so that search and rescue could be undertaken more efficiently from Grand Bend. In other business, tender forms are out for landscapers to tidy up the, outside of the harbour building. Lawson said that the pro- posed opening for the building is for late afternoon, June 29 to coincide with the gala open- ing of Huron Country Playhouse. The harbour building open- ing has been delayed because of a missing part for the• sewer hook-up. Search and Rescue for cen- tral Canada is handled by the Department of National Defence in Trenton.

BYLAW CHANGE A bylaw amending Exeter's official plan to designate roads in the undeveloped area north and east of the current Dow subdivision was finally approved by council, Monday. . The amendment had been the subject of considerable discussion and negotiation since it was first aired at a public meeting hack in November due to objections raised by Manx Developments. Solicitor Handy Evans. representing Dow. had met with council and planning board on several occasions in an attempt to have the loca- tion of roads less stringently designated. "It's safe to say we are reluctantly accepting the pro- posed bylaw," Evans said in his final appearance this week. In its final form, the bylaw does not designate the loca- tion to the extent it did originally. and merely states'. that Wellington St. will pro- ceed in an easterly direction from its present -location and Eastern Avenue will proceed in a northerly direction. The location of a bridge ex- tending from Riverside Drive across the river is now listed as a "guideline". Evans had argued that stringent location designa- tions could adversely affect growth in the area. First in park . A group of Scouts from Oak Harbour. Ohio, were the first campers to use the new cam- ping facility prepared by the Ausahle River Nomads on the south bank of the river just west of the Main St. bridge. The Scouts arrived in Ex- eter, Saturday, and were directed to the new camping ground. Nomads had just completed installing some -lights in the area and hooking up washroom facilities. The 12 Scouts and two leaders departed the follow- ing day for London on their tour of southwestern Ontario. DON C. MUNRO, M.o., C.C.F.P.

Big Brothers elect officers The annual meeting of South Huron Big Brothers/Big Sisters Associa- tion was held recently at the Old Town Hall. The past year has been a successful one. The occasion has grown to 22 matches with 11 waiting to be matched. Growth has also been ter- ritorial - now including Grand Bend. Success, however, is not measured so much in numbers as in the service pro- vided in the community. Some activities provided or participated in during the past year are; a booth at the Fall Fair, an entry in the Ex- eter Christmas parade, a Christmas party, Theatre London's "A Christmas Carol", Sportsmen's Dinner, Blue Jay's baseball game, a quarterly newsletter, four signs mounted at the en- trances to Exeter and our Bow-a-thon. We very much appreciate the publicity given us by the Times Advocate. The new slate of officers are: president, Lois McCallum, vice presidents, Terry Wilhelm, Lisa Frayne;- treasurer, Shari Burton. The board of directors are: Jim Chapman, Gary Eagleson, Dr. Grace Leitch, Gord Nichol, Alan Rankin, Clayton Steckle, Gayle Spencer, Mike Anstett, Ted Johnston, Tom Kneale. With such a strong slate of candidates 1993/84 promises to be another year of achievement. Kellerman flies home Dashwopd native John Kellerman returned to his home in Toronto on Wednes- day after experiencing some difficulties in leaving Ot' aw•a where he had been in atten- dance at the Progressive Con- servative leadership conven- tion. He was there to support •Toronto MP David Crombie. Via Rail had refused to take the 227 -kilogram (5(10 pound) cart he uses as a wheelchair, saying there was no room on the Ottawa -Toronto train because there is no baggage car and the golfcart-sized vehicle cannot fit between two seats. Kellerman, :19, a victim of cerebral palsy. had said Via Rail was violating his right to access to public transportation. After • Kellerman's case received publicity, MP Scott Fennell paid" the man's air- fare to Toronto. Air Canada delivered the cart by truck at no extra charge. "I think he's got a very good case," said Fennell who represents Ontario riding. "Why can't they (Via Rail) prodide the disabled space for their vehicles. It's a disgrace." Unable to take the train to Ottawa, Kellerman had at- tempted to drive the 643 kilometres in his cart, which travels at about 20 kilometres an hour. Police stopped him on Highway 401 and Conser- vative party officials in Oshawa arranged transport to Ottawa. 4-H orgamzauon wno won the ultimate accolade by' becom- ing a "winner of the Queen's Guineas) introduced the guests. These included: Bob Down, Usborne township fanner and president of United Co- operatives of Ontario; his sister-in-law Iris Marshall, a medical doctor; lawyer and Huron -Bruce MPP Murray Elston; veterinarian Jim Fairies; Bruce County ag rep Mac Balton; Brian McGavin, University of Guelph student and 1982 winner of the Murray Cardiff Citizenship Award Murray and Wilma (Dale) Scott, who work together as parents, 4-H leaders and farmers in East Wawanosh township and home economics teacher Amy (Stewart i Beccario. The audience of 150 heard the speakers play variations on the same theme - no mat- ter what line of work they chose. their 4-11 experience was beneficial. Bob Down stressed the ad- visability of taking advantage of opportunities as they come along. and said 4-11 had pro- vided many such occasions. To illustrate, he recalled having difficulty the first time he showed a beef calf. The judge suggested he borrow one of the Marshall sisters' dairy calves. Though he did everything backwards that day with calf showmanship, he must have done something right. Pat Marshall is now Mrs. Bob Down. Dr. Iris Marshall said lear- ning to carefully observe - the growth of a garden„ the growth of a calf - have stood her in good stead in her4ater career in medicine. One 4 -Her who enters university this fall to begin working toward his goal of eventually becoming a math teacher said he was en- couraged to hear people no longer involved in farming directly say how 4-H had helped them in their chosen professions. The guest speakers enjoyed the evening as much as the audience did. Bob Down com- mented afterward that it was a good night for participation, and for renewing acquain- tance with some people he had last seen at 4-11 events many •ears ago.
