At the November meeting
of the board of directors of the
Winghaxn and District Hospital
on Wednesday evening Chair-
man Barry Wenger announced
that permission has been grant-
ed by the Ontario Hospital Ser-
vices Commission to retain the
former nurses' residence build-
ing. The structure. which
stands on Catherine Street im-
mediately behind the hospital
property has been used for the
past three years as a training
school,for the nursing, assistants`
course. Erection of a n e w
school building immediately to
the north has 'left the former
residence vacant.
The letter from OHSC spe-
cified that the building be 'used
. for ancillary purposes. An agree-
ment has been reached with the
Huron County Health .Unit to
rent space in the building to be
used for several clinics and oth-
er rooms will be rented as of-
fices,

the purpose of discussing possi-
ble amalgamation of the plan-
ning councils of. Huron and.Perth,

The 'report stated that tenta-
tive agreement had been reach-
ed to share in the colts of a role
study which will clarify the po-
sitions, of the various hospitals
involved over the n.ex t ten

was postponed until results of
the study are available, possib-
ly a year hence.

such personnel.

nounced that Murray Gerrie had
donated a very fine television

CLEANERS
§powmobile racing is the
glamour sport among snowmo-
. bile fanciers , but the great
majority of snowmobile owners;
simply .enjoy the thrill of driv-
ing their machines from one
place to another through deep
snow.
Now is the time, says Dave
Clarkin, President of the Inter-
national Snowmobile Industry
Association, for all snowmo-
bile users to review the basi4
safe . operating tips that will as-
sure . many miles of safe snow-
mobile operation under almost
any conditions:
Mr. Clarkin says the four
most important rules for snow -
mobile trail riding are: "(1)
Never 'go on the trail alone; (2)
know and respect your vehicle;
(3),always carry extra fuel for
long trips; (4) carry. a 'safety
kit' of vital spare parts. "

FINANCES
Finance Chairman 11`0. y
Hunter reported total disburse,
ments for the .month; of October
of $106, 458 and total receipts;
of $99, 558 for a net deficit •of
$6, 906.
Mrs, Morrey repotted' for
the management committee,
outlining current staff in the
various nursing categories. She
said that the hospital is ' in need
of an assistant physiotherapist,
since referrals have been corn-
ing in froin other area hospitals.
However, f t has so far proved
impossible tb. secure a person
for this post.
The hospital's ambulance
answered 24 calls in October,
including local calls and trans-'
fers to and from other hospitals.
KNOW AND RESPECT,
.. YOUR VEHICLE
The snowmobile is not a, toy.
The hundreds of ..park rangers., ' 5 ,
lumbermen and ranchers who f
use them for basic transporta-
tion can attest to that. 3 But it is.
essentially a recreational ve-
hicle and as such is subject to a
certain amount of abuse and
neglect. Unfortunately, abuse:
and neglect can lead to a breast
down on the trail.
Snowmobilers are urged to
ride with a reasonable amount
of caution; to leave the spec-
tacular aerial leaps and open-''
throttle full -tilt ;charges to race.
drivers. The majority of snowl•
mobile operating disorders stern
not from mechanical failures
but from abuse and misuse of
the vehicle.
Snowmobile users are also
urged to learn how their en-
. gines work. The time to check
the owner's manual is not after
a breakdown has occured but
before the vehicle goes out on
its first long trip..
NEVER GO ALONE
• There is safety in numbers.
Participants in all adventurous
sports from scubadiving to
--mountain. climbing adhere faith-
fully to the buddy system for
this reason. Always travel in .,
pairs or.groups when snowmo-"
biling into remote areas. One
operable snowmobile can travel
farther in 10 minutes, when
seeking assistance in deep snow
for instance, than a healthy
man can walk in six hours.
CARRY A "SAFETY KIT"
Certain spare parts are eas-
ily carried aboard the snowmo-
bile and will assure the snow-
mobiler of quick, easy start-up
whenever necessary. These in-
clude a spark plug wrench, a
drive -belt, spark plug, pull
cord and light bulb.
