Wingham hopes for health centre
The Wingham
Advance -Times reported
that the outlook is very
good for the proposed
health centre, provided
that the ministry of
health, the board of
governors and the doc-
tors can reach an
agreement on how it
should operate.
The initial reaction to
the centre has been good
and there is a chance that
the government will
provide the funding
necessary to set the
centre up and get it going.
Presently the proposal
is still at the talking stage
in the ministry. This is
the first time that any
group has gone to the
Ontario health minister
with this type of proposal,
so the ministry is treating
it like an experiment,

made if merchandise is unsuitable and
that this agreement is clearly stated on
the bill.
If a company represents that it has a
refund policy and money is not
returned, this is in contravention of The
Business Practices Act. But if no
promise is made, don't expect a refund.
+ Allow extra time for delivery
Post offices are full to overflowing
during the holiday season and a rush of
orders to a mail order firm will
probably take much longer to process
as well as to deliver. Stores offering
delivery services are often backlogged
because of the volume of sales.
Don't be disappointed when
Christmas Eve approaches and those
special presents still haven't arrived.
Allow extra time for delivery for all
purchases, whether by mail or by van.
If you are buying furniture as a
Christmas gift, insist that the promised
delivery date is clearly stated on the
bill of sale, even if you are given a
verbal promise of pre -Christmas
delivery. Pay for the item on a cash -on -
delivery basis or, better still, arrange
to have the goods picked up yourself.
+ Unsolicited goods aren't your
responsibility
Many companies or organizations
send unsolicited goods, such as
Christmas cards, through the mails at
this time of year. They ask you to send
money to pay for the items.
which, if successful,
could be applied in other
areas.
The centre, if ap-
proved, will combine a
variety of health services
and will emphasize
preventive medicine. The
ministry will have to
come up with a funding
formula not based simply
on the number of beds a
hospital requires.
If you didn't order them, you are not
obligated to pay for them. You may
keep them, destroy them or send them
back at the sender's expense.
-}- Be wary of fund-raising schemes
At this time of the year the unethical
operators who see a quick buck to be
made compete with holiest fund-raisers
for the .dollars of a generous public.
Most pleas for money are authentic,
but to be sure that your money goes to
the needy, keep the following points in
mind: be wary of telephone
solicitations ; make sure you un-
derstand the nature of the donation
request; ask how they got your name;
ask for the name of the person calling
and the full name and address of his or
her employer, including the telephone
number; if in doubt, request that the
solicitation be made in writing; check a
company's reputation with the Better
Business Bureau or the Chamber of
Commerce.
• For further information about
refunds and exchanges, mail order
buying, fund-raising schemes or
consumer complaints, write: Con-
sumer Information Centre, Ministry of
Consumer and Commercial Relations,
555 Yonge Street, Toronto, Ontario,
M7A 2116.
And just a reminder: be sure that
gifts purchased for children are non-
toxic; check the Christmas tree for
flammable decorations; turn out the
Christmas lights when the tree is
unattended.

Christmas gifts for gardeners
Choosing a Christmas
gift for a home gardener
has never been easier,
says Russ Gomme,
Ontario Ministry of
Agriculture and Food
horticulturist.
"With the current in-
terest in tropical plants
and outdoor gardens,
many products are
available that make ideal
gifts for friends and
relatives."
The best places to
purchase gardening gifts
says Mr. Gomme, are
flower shops, garden
centres, department
stores, supermarkets and
hardware stores.
An obvious gift for an
indoor gardener is a
tropical plant. Everyone
likes to receive a new
plant, and with proper
care, it is a long-lasting
gift. Delivering the plant
is no problem, he says.
"Buy the tropical plant
and deliver it yourself at
Christmas or have it
delivered by a florist on a
specified day."
There are many other
gift possibilities for the
indoor gardener -
hanging baskets, spray
misters, plant fertilizers,
indoor planters and herb
gardening kits.
Terrariums are a good
gift because they are
available in many sizes
and require little
maintenance. Gardening
under lights is popular he
says and kits are
available. Another gift
for the indoor gardener is
a miniature set of gar-
dening tools.
There are also many
gift possibilities for the
outdoor gardener.

Safe driving a must
In the first eight
months of this year 592
persons died and 50,308
were injured in motor
vehicle accidents in
Ontario, says Minister of
Transportation and
Communications James
Snow.
"This is 30 fewer deaths
and 602 fewer injuries
' than in the same period
last year," Snow said,
"but I feel we can do
much better."
"If Ontario drivers and
pedestrians would ob-
serve the slogan of this
year's Safe Driving
Week, December 1-7,
"Courtesy is Caring", we
might see a further drop
in vehicle -related deaths
and injuries."
Snow thinks it is apt
that this special safe
driving week comes at a
time of the year when
unexpected snow, ice and
fast -changing road
conditions can make for
treacherous driving
conditions.
"That, coupled with the
coming festive season
and the temptation to
drink and drive makes it
necessary to be doubly
alert as well as cour-
teous," Snow said.
"Pedestrians, too, can
do their part, crossing
only with the light at
stoplight intersections,
and using crosswalks
properly instead of jay-
walking. .
"Courtesy and caring
certainly go together,"
said Snow, "and this
sense of involvement with
other people should be in
the minds of every, driver
and pedestrian, not just
during Safe Driving Week
but every, week of the
year."
La Leche group meets
La Leche League of
Huron County met in
November at the home of
Mrs. R. Lomas, RR 5,
Goderich. The topic of
discussion was the "Art
of Breastfeeding and
Overcoming Dif-
ficulties". Luncheon was
served.
The next meeting will
be held on December 13
at 2 p.m. The topic of
discussion will be "Baby
Arrives: the Family and
the Breastfeeding Baby".
Mrs. P. Bisback will lead
this meeting.
For further in-
formation, please call
262-2192. Any woman
interested in learning
more about the womanly
art of breastfeeding is
invited to attend. Nursing
babies are always
welcome to LLL
meetings.
Ontario grant will
assist erosion control
The Ausable-Bayfield
Conservation Authority
will receive a provincial
grant of $24,250 toward
completion of an erosion
control project in the Port
Frank Conservation
Area.
Comprising of 7.1 acres'
adjacent to the Village of
Port prank, the con-
servation area is
surrounded on three 'sides
by the former and
existing channels of the
Ausable River.
Zit announcing approval
of .the,. project, Natural
Resources Minister
James A. C. Auld said
that the Authority plans
to complete an erosion
control project started in
1977 when a 220 -foot
section of steel sheet pile
wall was erected to
protect the land from
erosion.
It is now proposed to
extend this wall by 410
feet to provide long-term
protection and sub-
sequently to construct
sixteen 24 -foot docks
along this section of the
river. Total estimated
Cost is $46,000,
oft •
are relatively new garden
aids and chances are
good that your friend or
relative won't already
own one." A new hoe,
spade or rake 'is also a
very practical gift.
Books on gardening'are
another gift suggestion.
