PLEADS FOR ALL-OUT CAMPAIGN
•
"There is no area that would
benefit more from placement of
that industry than the County of
lEiuron."
These were the words of Deputy -
Reeve James Donnelly, who made
a strong plea at friday night's
Town Council meeting for all-ott
support of efforts to have the On-
tario Governanent ,locate a 2,000
bed hospital within this county.
The deputy -reeve referred to a
Signal -Star story dealing with an
appeal made in the Ontario Legis-
lature by Thomas Pryde, MPP. Mr.
Pryde urged the governinent to.
locate the proposed multi-million
dollar institution in Huron ,because
this county, he maintained, .has
not shared in the boom enjoyed
by other parts of 'Ontario.
"I think i't's time we tried to
help him," the deputy -reeve saki
in recounting Mr. Pryde's efforts.
Acting on the deputy -reeve's
suggestion, Council voted to en-
dorse a resolution currently being'
circulated throughout the county
and also decided to send a resolu-
tion of its own concerning the
hospital's location.
In addition, it was agreed to for-
ward a letter to Mr: Pryde, cove -
mending him on his initiative and
determination in the matter.

. E. HIBBERT & SON
DEPUTY -REEVE DONNELLY
Ewan calculated there was "a 50-50
chance" the provincial institution
would be located somewhere be-
tween Goderich and Grand Bend.
Other counties are competing to
have the hospital built within their
'boundaries.
Might Employ 700
The institution, which is similar
to hospitals at Oritlia and Smiths
Falls, would employ about 700
people, it has been estimated.
Deputy -Reeve Donnelly said that
any assistance which can be given
by town and district organizations
in the form of resolutions, etc.,
to the provincial cabinet "could
help achieve a favorable result."
He declared, "We must speak in
voices thpt will be heard through-
out this province, and particularly
in Queen's Park."
He said he did• not -believe there
was much truth in reports that the
institution will go to the Chatham
area. si
When he went to Toronto re-
cently with a delegation from
Huron County Council, Dr. Mackin-
non Phillips, Ontario minister of
health, had assured them that a
location will not be decided upon
until near the close or after the
close of the present session of the
Ontario Legislature.
May Fly Here
The health minister may fly up
in a government seaplane to look
i have _the sites which been
surveyed in the G_odcrich-Grand.
Bend. stretch, 'the deputy -reeve
eve
added.
"I was- par"ticuTarly iinpre`ssed
with the minister's knowledge of
our locality," he stated. -
It appears, he told Council, that
the two main stumbling Meeks are
labor supply and housing for em-
ployees.
As regards labor, the delegation
presented the minister with statis-
tics sheaving that 6S6 men and
125 women were unemployed in
the area. Also, there are 20,000-
25,000 people within fairly short
driving distance of the proposed
sites between Goderich and Grand
Bend, it was pointed out:
Deputy -Reeve Donnelly asserted
that the county's high schools
graduate about 200 young men and
women every year. At the present
time, he claimed, "over 90 percent
must go out of the county to get
employment."
This was happening at a time
When it is costing more and more
to educate these young men and
women, he said.
No Problem
In regard to housing, Dr. Phil-
lips expressed interest when it was
pointed out that Goderich and
other towns have done an admir-
able job in the past of housing
the overflow from Clinton and Cen-
tralia RCAF Stations.
Now that many of these families
have moved back into married
quarters at the stations, there are
plenty of available apartments in
Goderich and the other centres.
"I am told there are 80 houses
for sale in the Town of Goderich
today," said the deputy -reeve.
He suggested that it might be
a good idea for the Industrial
Commission or the Jaycees to pre-
pare a list, showing the availability
of labor, for submission to the
provincial authorities.
Deputy -Reeve Donnelly now men-
tioned what he termed "the trump
card" in Huron County's argument
to have the hospital located in
this district.
"In the most booming times the
Province of Ontario has ever ex-
perienced," he declared, "this
county has suffered an economic
decline."
The reasons, he suggested,` in-
clude the fact that Huron County
has an economy that is basically
agricultural. Closer to home, he
noted that some of the old estab-
lished industries in Goderich do
not employ nearly As many people
as they once did.
He noted hopefully that the
Ontario Government has gone on
record as favoring decentralization.
"It would be a- mistake," he
said, "to put this 'liostpitai<-in one
of the heavily populated, highly
ifiditstrfializec - a -teas - whirl( .,leave
enjoyed the province's general
prosperity of the past few years."
