Did you know that South Huron Hospital has twice now been accredited 'Superior', which is the highest rating given? Did you know our hospital is scheduled to be in- spected again in 1991? Did you know that the money the government grants each year to hos- pitals must be spent first to pay for salaries, medical supplies and operating costs including heating and lighting? The money for new equipment and buildings and for re- pairs and renovations has to come from three sources: excess of oper- ating costs, depreciation on equip- ment, and volunteer donations. It is not hard to understand why South Huron Auxiliary's dedicate group of volunteers work so hart throughout the year through thei two rummage sales, the Gift Shoi and Tag Days. This year the tag- ging area is bbing expanded. B sides Exeter, several other comp nities served by South Huron HI pital - Centralia, Crediton, Da, wood, Elimville, Grand Co Hensall and Huron Park are bei included. These new areas will be ca vassed on Thursday and Frid , September 28 and 29. Exeter w be called upon the following weep end, October 5, 6 and 7. Please welcome these callers your door.

Seaforth completes project SEAFORTH - The Town of Sea - forth is marking the completion of its three year Mainstreet Canada Project with a series of festivities to be held on Thursday September 7th. Mainstreet Canada, one of the programs of the Heritage Canada Foundation, has been in Seaforth since 1986. During that time, the Mainstreet Co-ordinator, as in other towns across Canada, has been working on revitalizing the downtown core through organization, marketing and economic development as well as actual building restoration and streetscape improvement. As tangible evidence of the suc- cess of this program, the first phase of Seaforth's Streetscape'Project, known as the Town Hall Civic Court, will be formally opened on September 7. A ceremony will be held in front of the Town Hall at 7;30 p.m. featuring a ribbon cutting by Mayor Hazel Hildebrand and the appearance, out of the past, of one of Seaforth's historical fig- ures, Mr. D.D. Wilson, the first reeve of the Town of Seaforth. At 8 p.m., following the official opening of the Civic Court, D.D. Wilson will invite everyone to join him at a wine and cheese repeption at the Royal Canadian Legion on main St. near the Town Hall. Dis- plays will be set up and slides will be shown highlighting the past glo- ry of Seaforth, the achievements of the Mainstreet Canada Program and the future plans for the downtown. Tha•Town of Seaforth is continu- ing its commitment to the revitali- zation of the downtown by hiring a new co-ordinator to carry on where the Mainstreet Program left off. The town will remain as an affiliat- ed project of Heritage Canada's Na- tional Mainstreet Program. Time to think of flu shots By Sheryl Feagan Huron County Health Unit CLINTON - It may seem a little early to be thinking about the nas- ty effects of a winter "flu" bug, but is isn't. Every year up to one third of the population may contract the illness known as influenza and some will die from it. Anyone can get the flu and even for normal healthy people, it can be severe. It usually keeps people in bed for several days in an ex- tremely weakened condition which can linger for weeks afterwards. This can leave the person suscepti- ble to man other winter infec- Forthcoming marriage - Mr. and Mrs. Andre VanHooydonk and Mr. and Mrs. Willy Van- neste are pleased to announce the forthcoming marriage of their children, Nancy Dorothea and Joseph Willy, on Saturday, September 23, 1989 at Sacred Heart Church, Parkhill at 3:00 p.m. (Closed reception). tions. Classic flu symptoms in- clude a bad cough, fever, chills, aches and pains, and loss of appe- tite. People in high risk groups are in greater danger of suffering very se- vere, life-threatening illness from the flu. These people include every- one over the age of 65 and anyone with chronic medical conditions such as heart, lung or kidney dis- ease or metabolic disorders such as diabetes. Residents of nursing homes or chronic care facilities usually fall into one or more of these high risk categories and are at additional risk because their institu- tional environment may promote the spread of the disease. You should receive your flu vac- cine in September or October to Caven ladies EXETER - The Caven Presbyter- ian Ladies met on Monday, Sep- tember 11 for a pot luck dinner fol- lowed by their regular meeting in the church basement. From the study based on the theme "Poverty in Canada", the la- dies learned that the gap between the rich and the poor is increasing. Like the Israelite people of the Old Testament, the people in the higher income bracket in today's world seem to show less interest and care less about the poor as the rich be- came prosperous. The ladies were told that Christians must speak with one voice and be advocates and prophets for the poor. A noon hour luncheon will be held at the church on Thursday, Oc- tober 5. Tickets are available from the members. The next meeting will be held on Tuesday, October 10.
