Hospital administrator Roger Sheeler said he wanted the community to understand that this is their hospital which is here to serve their needs as best it can. He said he hoped they would take advantage of the chance to get an insider's point of view of the building's daily operations. "Last year's open house was our first, and it was such a success that it warranted a repeat," he said. Sheeler pointed out the services which have been arranged with London's University Hospital. The largest of these is the dietary Shared Services in- volving Seaforth, Clinton, Goderich. and Exeter. A professional dietician is in Exeter three times every two weeks to take patients referred by their respective physicians. The program is just over one year old now. University Hospital has also helped the smaller hospitals to design their own menus to stay within their means while offering high- grade nutritional content. All hospital meals can thus be prepared locally with professional standards. Under another arrange- ment with the London hospital. a respiratory technician makes inspec- tions of South Huron's medical gases equipment twice a year, and is ready to give advice should the hospital decide to buy new respiratory equipment. A year ago, South Huron and University Hospitals agreed to start a library ser- vice whereby the latter supplied requested books to South Huron to build up its own medical library. Specialized texts and periodicals can be lonaed to Exeter for the staff to read or consult for special cases. University Hospital will also search for books if re- quested, Sheeler said. Beginning in January of the new year, South Huron will enter into an experimen- tal program as a satellite pharmacy to University Hospital. For six months, the Exeter hospital will dis- pense drugs to a patient un- der the advice of a phar- macist at University Hospital who is consulting with the particular doctor here in South Huron who may have doubts about possible side-effects if the patient is already on other medication. The drugs themselves will be supplied from London. with small ward and emergency supplies being kept in Ex- eter. Communications will be by telewriter. A printed statement of the cost per patient will be given to the doctor for his records. Another development coming in the near future is a cable television hook-up between Exeter and Univer- sity Hospital to be used for psychological counselling, obstetrics, speech pathology. and some sur- gical consultation. "We hope to see much of southwestern NFU approves meat authority Approval in principle was given to concepts and con- siderations for a national meat authority by elected officials of the National Farmer' Union when they met to discuss the two papers (concepts and con- siderations) on Tuesday, in Mitchell. Those present represented most of southern Ontario NFU locals. Ivan Allin, RR 1 Oshawa, meeting chairman, said the two papers would be presented at NFU's national convention in Winnipeg from November 29 to December 6. Two concerns arising out of the meeting were quota transfer authority and having the quota in pounds rather than per head.

Bowen, M.I.M.A., Regional Assessment Commissioner r still in the draft stage, having the quota per pounds was added as a recom- mendation. The quota transfer authority question is still unsettled. The major concept of having a national meat authority would be to have supply management taken care of at the federal level. In the_ concept paper, it states, "all owners of beef cow herds or owners of dairy herds who cross breed dairy cows with beef cattle for the purpose of producing feeders to finish custom feeding or for sale would register with the NMA." Following this, tabulation of the size of herds and number of producers would determine the initial market share quota. Also a historic pattern of production would be used to determine quotas. A coat of production for- mula would be established, and the NMA would be the sole seller of all feeder cattle. Administration costs of the NMA would be in- cluded in the cost of production formula. Other concepts include, allowing the NMA to exer- cise control over the market by projecting supply against future demand needs. The NMA through a chairman and general manager would have input with the Minister of Agriculture, Minister of Industry, Trade, and Commerce and provincial governments. The proposal includes managers for each type of meat, such as, beef, pork, sheep, turkey, and also broilers and eggs. At the national level, it is proposed there be administrative services, marketing systems, and market development. Under this, there would be provincial administration. Once the concepts have been approved at the national convention, the idea will be proposed to the federal government. Exams start tomorrow Tomorrow is Thursday. For students at South Huron District High School, it is the first of seven days in the first term examinations. Technical and commercial subjects, semestered Fami- ly Studies, English and Career Development courses have their exams in class. Unfortunately, for many students who write only a few exams, it's a holi- day of sorts. "It's hard to compress the exam period anymore, without creating numerous conflicts for those students who take courses across three grade levels", prin- cipal Joe Wooden said, "Ex- aminations are an academic device which are more amenable to certain subjects than others." Ontario linked up with this system," Sheeler said. "Here in Exeter, we could use it effectively for speech pathology and counselling." Counselling for diabetics will be getting started in January or February as well, he added. A specialist in cardiology and internal medicine has been holding clinics at South Huron for the past month for patients referred by their own doctors. Dr. Airudin Khan arranged this with the hospital himself to bring his speciality to those who might be experiencing chest pains, dizzy or fainting spells. The hospital is also sup- porting the community's Meals on Wheels program for shut-ins, but the need now is for more volunteer drivers, Sheeler said. The hospital has also recently purchased some new equipment with funds from the estate of a local woman, Louella Walper. One is a pulmonary function machine to measure the degree of restriction in someone's breathing. A printed read-out is supplied. The other machine is a patient lift used to transfer invalids from a wheelchair to a bathtub and vice versa, without requiring human hands to help. With its own capital funds, the hospital also bought an ultrasound machine which will arrive in mid- December. It can examine the body's soft tissue such as the stomach and intestines, as well as look at a fetus to check its position. This summer, the hospital opened its door to an inspec- tion from the Canadain Council of Hospital Ac- creditation. which granted South Huron a two-year cer- tificate of fitness. The Coun- cil. on invitation,inspects hospitals to evaluate their level of service from a medical and administrative point of view. The letter of confirmation came on August 25.

ANOTHER BASKET — Lori Brand (34) drives up for another victory, 47-35 over Stratford Central, Thursday. Moja Gans For new hall two points in South Huron's looks on intently. Won't sign fire agreement by Shelley McPhee Tuckersmith Council is concerned about the cost of constructing a new area fire hall, and decided not to sign an agreement approving the construction of the $295,000 building. Scheduled to be built in the spring of 1982 the new hall will be located in Seaforth and will service the town, along with Tuckersmith, Nutlet, McKillop and Hibbert Townships. Tuckersmith's share of the total cost of the project will be $49.497, but at their November 17th 'meeting council questioned the cost of the building. Deputy - Reeve Bill Brown, council's representative on the Fire area Board. suggested that council not sign the bylaw, noting that B.M. Ross and Associates are studying the building proposal again. "Vanastra curling club was twice as big and cost almost one-third the price," Reeve Robert Bell noted, and instructed Deputy - Reeve Brown to inform the I Fire Board that' Tuckersmith feels that the building cost estimate is too expensive. High interest rates and community fund raising projects. like the Seaforth pool and arena canvassers, have had an adverse effect on the Van Egmond Fund. The Foundation is having financial difficulties ,...a.... considering selling a parcel of land between the historic house and cemetery. Council learned that the land was to be used as parkland. with a landscaped walkway leading from the house to a historic marker, but the Foundation may sever the land into lots for sale. No plan has been drawn up. and the Ontario Heritage Foundation is reviewing the matter before any final deci- awn !b mane. Councillor Bob Broadfoot suggested that the adjoining Egmondville Cemetery should hate the option to buy the land and noted, "I would hate to see houses there." Councillor Jim Papple reminded council that there is money available in the park fund and could be used to develop the land. It was agreed to get more information on the land and the financial difficulties that the Foundation is facing." Largest classes ever at night With over 600 students, the fall night school program at South Huron pistrict High School is one of the largest ever. according to principal Joseph Wooden. With another 400 students in the winter and spring programs, Wooden feels enrollment shduld reach the 1000 mark. "It's the largest nightschool program in the county and an extensive one for a community this size" Wooden said. In addition to providing an opportunity for upgrading and achieving graduation diplomas, the program fulfills a need for recreation and hobby courses in the community. Wooden attributes the in- creased enrollment in credit courses to a newly adopted semester system which enables students to get their credit infourmonths.half the normal time. "It doesn't drag on forever. Attendance is better and the study is more concentrated," Wooden added. This fall's program in- cludes 39 classes spread over four week nights, Mon- day through Thursday. Pete Aunger teaches an introduc- tory course to computer programming which area businesses have shown an in- terest in. "There are five firms in town considering setting up computer systems and they want to know what they cats and cannot do". Auhger said. Gary Bean. investment dealer for Pitfield, Mackay Ross Ltd. teaches a course that will help people hedge against inflation. The course covers the whole gamut of investment il♦ Canada. When 60 women registered for Penny Watson's crocheting class she was forced to have three classes instead of one. In the six ses- sion course. Watson covers the basic stitches and helps the women with their per- sonal projects. "It's our night out. and we're here for a good time". Watson said. Announcement of the winter night school program should come at the beginning of December. Check it out, there might be something for you. We're glad you asked !

Yet our Mures must include a final resting place - and that fre- quently receives little or no planning. Sparing the bereaved this emotional detail and the anxieties with which it is associated is a wise thing you can do ahead of time. Presented here, then, are several questions often ask- ed about the early selection of a cemetery lot. You might well ask them of yourself: A. Which cemetery and location of plot? B. How many spaces and what's the cost? C. If we move away from here, will the cemetery buy the lots hack? D. Con I sell my lots to someone else? E. Is the cemetery properly funded for Perpetual Care? Some of these questions can't be answered without some action on your part. You should investigate and discuss them with representatives of cemeteries under consideration.
