Vingoe, a fully qualified paramedic, says the beach in Grand Bend needs some sort of system for safety. The two ambulances in Dashwood can respond within 10 minutes of a call, if they are not already busy, and there is a firetruck in Grand Bend. But more equipment is needed for the summertime population which can be close to 30,000. The ambulance in Zurich would take close to 20 minutes to respond, and, in the case of a major fire or boating accident, this could cost numerous lives. Vingoe said when he work- ed in Montreal, a serious ac- cident occurred on a beach that wasn't well equipped. A man driving his boat had a heart attack. He slumped against the throttle, pushing Paramedic says safety Y_ s stem needed Ken Vingoeis concerned. speed. reliable. it into fullThe boat ended up on the beach at St. Eustache and left in its wake four children dead, three maimed for life and several in the hospital for over a month, recovering from in- juries. They had gone 25 or 30 years without ever having an accident, he said. Vingoe hopes eventually to get a van, donated or bought at cost, which will have a com- plete emergency rescue un- it, and manned by volunteers. He is willing to teach a night course in Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation and to help set up a volunteer ambulance unit on the beach. Vingoe has also purchased a thirteen foot Boston Whaler which he says is vir- tually impossible to turn over. It is the same boat the Coast Guard auxiliary uses, he said. He tested it in four to five foot waves and said it is juries in car accidents, resulted from people not wearing their seatbelts, and most of the accidents had liquor involved. In a survey conducted six months before the unit came into being, and during the first six months of its ex- istence, 96% more lives were saved after the unit came into being. Vingoe was forced to leave Quebec when the language laws were being enforced. I could speak it, he says, but I can't read or write it. Vingoe studied the system that is used at Daytona Beach. There are guard towers every 1,000 feet, he said, with a main tower every half mile which is responsible for watching the red flags on the guard towers. If a flag goes down, a beach ambulance responds in minutes. This unit is a pick-up truck armed with lifeguards and a resuscita- tion unit. The police respond and keep the crowd back. He said the OPP detach- ment in Grand Bend does a terrific job during the summer. They are reasonable, he said, in that they try to quell a problem before it starts. A resuscitation unit, used on the beach in the summer, he said, could be used by the fire department the rest of the year. While Vingoe himself could not take part in any of the rescues because of his knee, he could be available to administer the unit and to train the volunteers who would be working on it, he said. Presently Vingoe is waiting for an answer from the Ontario Heart Fund as to whether they will allow him to teach the CPR course for free. He said he can have the equipment for free, and with His paramedic training he is fully qualified to teach the course, even if paramedics are not recognized in On- tario. Vingoe, 29, has been declared permanently dis- abled because of an accident that occured while his ship was on route to a rescue while in the Merchant Marine. He shattered his knee and is considered to be unemployable because his knee could go out at any time. He and his wife and their two children came to Grand Bend in July and decided to stay. They are now the leaders of the Beavers. Vingoe feels CPR should be taught to children 12 and over. They have the in- telligence to understand it, he said, it should be a part of their schooling. While in Montreal, he was part of a six -man advanced life support rescue team. Each person was a specialist in a field, and the nature of the accident dictated which man was to be in charge. While working there, he said 90% of the serio s in- � CLOSE BUT NO TROPHY — These girls from Grand Bend almost won their soccer tourney last week but all they ended up with was mud.

Boys win soccer tournament The Grand Bend Public School boys soccer team won the North Lambton tournament hosted Wednes- Most beauty queen con- tests are disgusting displays of not -too -bright women prancing across stages. An announcer asks a provocative question, such as "If you had your way, how would you solve the problems in Northern Ireland?" And the Sweet Young Thing, batting her demure eyelashes, replies in a breathy voice, "Well, I'd just tell them that everybody should get along with their neighbours, no matter what colour they are." Now, I know what your saying - you're saying that I'm just jealous, because I know that I could never, ever win a beauty contest. Well, you're right, of course I'm jealous. However, I have reluc- tantly accepted the fact that I'll never be a beauty queen. For me to enter such a contest would require a few major adjustments and dramatic alterations. First, I'm too old. At the ripe old age of 26, I have long passed the appropriate beauty queen stage. Unfortunately, when most of us are 18 or 19, the ages when these beauty queens are being crowned, we are still waiting to "blossom". But before we know it, we've wilted. Besides being too Id, I have another problem hich would prevent me from meeting most beauty ueen contest requirements I'm too married. Many of the rules chauvenistically state that the contestants must be single. And then, of course, there are the minor, er, I mean major, alterations. A few months (possibly years) prior to the contest I would have to have my mouth wired shut. Then I would have to find a medieval castle complete with a torture chamber in which there was a "rack". I would have to get my ankles and wrists tied to the rack, while someone stretched me. The starvation, combined with the stretching over a long period of time, might eventually get me into day at Bosanquet Central, while the girls ended up in third despite having the same number of points as Mary's musings By Mary Alderson beauty queen proportions. If I survived. And then there would be the plastic surgery. Somehow, chipmunk cheeks just aren't beauty queen material. And finally, my hair. This is one area where it might not require such a great effort. Hair is something I have plenty of, and my hairdresser -husband might agree to help me out. But because it would be a non-paying, long-term project, I doubt if he would want to spend the required time. So there it is, all my beauty queen hopes dashed. Besides, didn't I say that a beauty contest was disgusting? 7 1 must qualify that statement by adding that I recently talked to a contest winner, and I was im- pressed with her abilities. She was the Queen of the Furrow, at the International Plowing Match. This queen is selected on her deportment and ap- pearance, just as most beauty contest queens are. But she is also interviewed by a panel of judges, and she's asked to give a speech on farming or plowing. And, of course, she has to plow. Nice, neat, straight furrows certainly sway judges in the queen of the Furrow contest. And to be a winner pays off. The Queen of the Furrow is presented by the Ontario Plowmen's Association with a new car, following her coronation. She needs the car to get to the many events all over Ontario she is expected to attend during her reign. But at the end of her year as queen, the car is hers to keep. Next year the plowing match is near Lucan, very handy for residents of this part of Ontario, Let's hope that some area girls are out practising with the plow right now (if the weather would just dry up a bit). Anyway, if I was younger I'd be practising with the plow, because I doubt if any of the other aforementioned alterations I would have to make would work. 24 oz. loaf Ont. no. 1 carrots U.S. no. 1 fresh spinach Florida white 48's the top team. The boys team won on the strength of five wins and one tie for a total of 16 points. The girls had four wins, one tie and one loss for a total of 15 points and a three way tie for first. Kinnaird won on the basis they had scored more goals throughout the tournament. Bosanquet Central held the runner-up position on the strength of their 1-0 win over Grand Bend. The two teams had scored the same number or goals. The tournament had originally been scheduled for Monday but was postponed because of the weather. It was re -scheduled for Tues- day but was once more post- poned because no referees were available. Six schools participated in the tourna- ment. Car theft The theft of a car by a juvenile last week resulted in $1.000 damage to a vehicle owned by Edward Bullock, Parkhill. The juvenile had stolen the car and was being pursued when he was in- volved in an accident on Outer Drive, Bosanquet Township. The juvenile has been charged with car theft. Pinery Provinicial Police investigated 16 mis- cellaneous occurrences last week. They laid 16 charges under th Highway Traffic Act. two charges under the Liquor Licence Act and one charge under the Com- pulsory Insurance Act. They also laid two charges of driving under suspension, one charge of break, enter and theft and three charges of theft.lOne person was charged with mischief. Casino is demolished The Lakeview Casino. which burned down in June, has finally been demolished. The charred remains. which were the subject of several complaints. were disposed of by Mel Nutt whose tender had been accepted Nutt said the job. which was dependent on the weather. should only take a week It was completed by Tuesday Four men have been work- ing on the site using a bulldozer. a steam shovel and two dump trucks. Nutt said the rubble is be- ing taken to Turnbulls Grove where a trailer park is under construction. In tearing down the building. he said, he was to leave the floor and thought the area was goin to be turned into a parkin lot. grapefruit cut from Canada grade 'A' beef sirloin steaks .b. aged A-1 steer blade boneless roast aged A-1 steer cross rib roast medium fresh (formerly chuck) ground beef our own Save $1.00 Ib.
