Concern about the tran- sportation of hazardous materials has been heightened by the explosion and derailment of several tank cars in Mississauga two weeks ago. Both Exeter police chief Ted Day and Corporal William Freeth of the OPP said their departments are only made aware of the shipping of explosives. Day said in his tenure on the Exeter force there has only been one occasion when the town police have escorted an explosives carrying truck through the community. Freeth said the OPP has a set of operational procedures first implemented in the early 1970's to define what their role is in the event of the spillage or explosion of chemicals which could en- danger the public He said the first duty of an officer on the scene is to determine the type of chemical which is involved The next step would be to contact the Danger Goods Information Centre ;n Toronto which would contact officials of the shipping company and manufacturer to determine the proper procedures in the event of a spill or explosion. In the event of a major disaster such as Mississauga. responsibility for any police action would be determined directly from the OPP's head office. He said the local force would be responsible primarily for the control of vehicular and pedestrian traffic. The OPP do not know what chemicals are travelling through their area unless notified by the manufac- turer. Exeter fire chief Gary Middleton said the number of gasoline trucks which passed through Exeter was "incredible." In the event of a gasoline or chemical spill his department has the authority to request that town police act under his instructions ui terms of an area that may have to be evacuated. Middleton said his first action at a chemical spill would be to determine the chemical involved. Middleton said in in- stances of gas spills a special unit that has been established by the chemical firms in Sarnia has been very prompt. The local department plans to add a foam unit similar to that operated by the Stephen township fire department at Huron Park to deal with gasoline spills. The Canadian National Railway came in for some criticism from Middleton with the crown corporation failing to notify the local department of any hazar- dous substances which may pass through the town on the railway. Middleton said also it was KAY DOCTOR — Leanne Wiseman gives her patient Mark Mallard o needle while the two enjoyed playing doctor and patient at the Nairn ptoyschool earlier this week.

Middleton said it was his understanding that Hensall had experienced similar problems with the railroad. The late Dave Sangster, former chief of the Hensall Fire department was quite concerned about the problem, he said. Current Hensall fire chief Jim Hyde was unavailable for comment. South Huron hospital administrator Tom Hudson said there is no plan presently on the books for evacuation of the hospital due to an external emergency such as an ex- plosion or spill. He said the hospital does have a plan for an emergency at the hospital. Dependent on the time of day Hudson said the hospital could be evacuated in as little as ten minutes with patients being temporarily transferred to schools, churches or the recreation centre. Referring to the Mississauga disaster Hudson agreed that some form of emergency plan for the town La Leche meeting La Leche League in Huron County met on November 20 at the home of Mrs. Joyce Casemore, Belgrave. The topic of discussion was "Baby Arrives: the Family and the Breastfed Baby." The leader Mrs. Barbara Kerr. welcomed the many mothers and their babies to the meeting, noting they had come from as far away as Hensall, Goderich, and Hanover. LLLI was formed over 20 years years ago to help mothers nurse their babies. They also encourage ways of good mothering and close family ties. It was em- phasized that once a baby is born, a mother and father form a family unit and it is important that all members participate in caring for the new baby.. The mothers exchanged ideas about how relatives and friends had helped them carry the workload of meal making and housekeeping when their baby was newborn. Many. mothers were enthusiastic about the father's involvement in the birthing experience and found that their husbands were a valuable support in raising and nursing their children. Following the discussion, a Mother's Meeting on December 4 at 9 a.m. was announced. It will take place at Mrs. Kerr's home, 1 mile east of Belgrave. Every mother interested in lear- ning more about LLL con- cepts and enjoying a social time is invited to attend. Missionary will speak Rev. and Mrs. J. H. McIn- tosh. missionaries of the Presbyterian Church. will visit the pastoral charge of Exeter. Hensall and Cromarty of the Presbyterian Church on the weekend of December 1 and 2 for a mission weekend. Mr. and Mrs. McIntosh are doing a limited amount of deputa- tion work during a study furlough for Mr. McIntosh. Mr. McIntosh has served for the past seventeen years with the Korean Christian Church in Japan having special responsibility in a team relationship for the laity and the initiation of a new experiment in Christian social action. in addition to speaking at the regular Sunday Church services. Mr. and Mrs. McIntosh will meet and 58 dialogue with the three con - 5t gregations at Hensall for tea 37 at 2:30 P M . Saturday, 67 December I. at Cromarty 46 for coffee at 8:00 P.M. and at Exeter for a coffee hour following the Sunday after- noon service A pizza party is planned for Sunday afternoon at 5:00 6 P.M to give Mr. and Mrs. McIntosh an opportunity to meet and talk with as many youth of the community as possible As well Mrs. McIntosh will join with Mrs. Lenore Beecham in speaking at the Sunday morning service at �7 Exeter United Church. Mrs. 289 Beecham has also been a 288 missionary in Japan for 288 many years for the United x14 Church. 74 31 41 21 11 5 6 415 493 582 649 451 457 would be a good idea. Turning to a hypothetical situation, Hudson said if a disaster did take place the hospital would function as a super first aid station with the more serious cases being transferred to London. Planning for a disaster or evacuation was a matter co- ordinating people and transportation, he said. Goderich principal named by board The Huron -Perth County Roman Catholic Separate School board confirmed the appointment of Jim McDade of Stratford as acting principal at St. Mary's school, Goderich for the period November 19 to December 31, 1979. Prior to the appointment he had been working out of the board office. He replaces Betty L. Clark, who had been the principal, but had asked for reassignment t o other duties. Her new duties will be in the area of curriculum development with special emphasis on the revision development of a French program for grades 4 to 8. The position of principal at St. Mary's has been ad- vertised and the ap- pointment of a principal will be made effective January 1, 1980. The board will hold its inaugural meeting for the 1980 term on December 3 when a chairman and vice- chairman will be elected, and the next regular meeting will be held on December 10. There was a presentation made by John McCauley, Superintendent of Education, and Mary Flannery, a special education resource teacher, on the special education for exceptional students. Miss Flannery explained that exceptional students are those who have behavioural, communication, intellectual, or physical exceptionalities to such a degree that changes in the regular curriculum must be made and or special services provided for them in school. Special education is the program made available to such students. She outlined the role of the resource teacher, whose major responsibility is to diagnose, plan a teaching program and implement this teaching plan for children with special needs. Miss Flannery concluded with the statement that all records for exceptional pupils are treated with a professional attitude of confidentiality by all staff involved. Letter to editor Early this fall, the Heritage Canada Foundation launched an all-out cam- paign to try to make Heritage Day --the third Monday in February --a national holiday. Few Canadians, I suspect, will quarrel with the idea of a midwinter holiday to help battle the February "blahs". But why Heritage Day? And why a national charitable foundation, entrusted with the preservation of our built- up heritage, asking for a holiday? Why, for that matter, should the average Canadian give a hoot about heritage? Maybe I should answer the last question first: It's simple: Preservation is the wave of the future. And preser- vation is a labour-intensive industry. We are nearing the end of the great post-war con- struction boom, which provided so many jobs. We are also seeing the bankruptcy of a philosophy, which held that once a building was written down on the company books, after a brief life of 30 years, it could be dispensed with and replaced by another. We can no longer afford the luxury of that philosophy. Nor can we afford the enormous waste of energy and manpower that it involves. It simply doesn't make sense to destroy a building - any building: church, warehouse, bank, railway station or private home–that is still structurally sound. All over this country such buildings are being preserved. A church in Toronto becomes a haber- dashery shop. A bank in Ottawa becomes a restaurant. A warehouse in Vancouver becomes part of a shopping complex. A railway station in Kleinburg becomes a Boy Scout headquarters. The past lives on, giving our cities an historical texture, a feeling of con- tinuity and, incidentally, providing new jobs for thousands of workmen. Why a holiday? Because the heritage movement will not come of age nor be taken seriously until we give it an official stamp of approval. A holiday makes people sit up and take notice. It provides a chance for celebration --in this case the celebration of our history. For buildings are living history lessons. They tell us something about our roots. They remind us of who we are. On July 1 we celebrate our political past. On Heritage Day we celebrate our built- up past --the cultural land- scape that enriches our lives. And it is especially valuable because, unlike Canada Day, it falls during the school year when the youth of the nation can become involved. That is why Heritage Canada wants a holiday. Our job is to act as a catalyst to ensure that something from the past is saved. Surely we can take one day out of the year to drive that lesson home.
