(News -Record photo) (advertisement) ELECTION ECHOES Our Hospital Stays Open Anson McKinley Piedges iBy Dick Atke0 Anson McKinley, Progressive Conservative can- didate for Huron -Middlesex in the June 9 Ontario election, continued to take a very strong stand on retaining Clinton Public Hospital as a community institution, at a rally held in Clinton this week. He would go so far as to vote against his party if closing the hospital became an issue in the Legislature, he said. "I have been informed in writing from the Minister of Health, Dennis Timbrell, that the future of the Clinton Hospital no longer rests with the outcome of the Province's appeal procedure," he said. "If the Government made any effort to close the Clinton Hospital while I was the elected represen- tative of this riding, I would be willing to vote against the Government to make my views known, something our Liberal MPP was not willing to do. "In fact, the Liberal party supported the closure policy because they felt it politically expedient to do so at the time," he declared. George M. Lavis delivered a strong speech in support of Anson McKinley. "Jack Riddell is a nice guy, but where was he when the vote was taken in the Legislature — out behind the barn? We must have a member of the Government to get anything done," he declared. "We've got to pull hard behind Anson and support his strong stand behind our hospital," Mr. Lavis stated. 4 -4 -4 - Meet Anson at Clinton Spring Fair!
