irrespective of whether they
subscribed or not,
Before we discuss the work
of the Brigade in 1967, it is
necessary to explain the use
of the St. John Mobile Unit by
the Alexandra Marine and
General Hospital" At the end
of 19.66, an arrangement was
entered into ,;with the .Hospital
Board Whereby the Goderich
Branch permitted the Hospital
administration to call on the
Mobile Unit in cases of emer.
gency. That is, when the
Hospital abulance is out on
call, or is under repair.
It is however, to be distinct•
ly understood that it is only
the Mobile Unit which is loaned
.and that the charges made by
the Hospital for its use are
credited to the Hospital in toto
and not to St. John. Further-
more, because St. John by its
charter., does not make any
charge for the services of its
trained personnel, the entire
responsibility for the use and
the manning of this Unit when on
Hospital duty, rests with the
Hospital administration.
The Brigade retains prior
right to its own use of the
Unit when it gives its volun.,
tary services at hockey, soccer,
trottingsir drag rape meetings,
and it isonly when carrying
`out their prescribed service
that its members appear in
uniform. When St. John loans
.. , mobile unit to the hospital,
it contributes a service to the
community as a whole, to the '
county, the town and to the
individual. It is service which
St. John is more .than pleased
to provide. Under the above
circumstances the Hospital ad.
ministration undertakes full re-
sponsibility for the Unit's per-
formance and for its manning;
the latter being done with Hos.
pital employees, insureby the
Hospital.
In the past 12 months the St.

John unit t as4been requisitioned
by the hospital on eleven oc.
casions. Six of the a were for
local calls, with i the town
limits, On the other five calls,
some 270 miles were covered,
some being outside the county
limits.
It is appropriate to point out
that since the hospital supports
but one ambulance, the loan of
the St. John mobile unit fulfils
a need which, when MIS filled,
'may be of 'vital interest to atly
and every citizen of Goderich.
Now to turn to the work of
the Brigade, composed of some
22 men and women, ,all of whom
requalify themselves in First.
Aid each year. Over the past
year then Junior 'BP -Or 'C'
hockey games have been ser-
viced. For Young Canada Week,
408 man .hours were put in.
Ten soccer games were at.
tended and seven horse racing
meetings. In addition, the C en.
tennial Caravan was service for
whole days at, Goderich; Wing.
ham, Seaforth and Exeter, while
'all the Sunday drag race meet••
ings at Grand Bend throughout
the summer were attended. •
Apart from such considerable
donations of skill and dire, the
Brigade's instructors' have
trained in Home Nursing and
First,-A4d, classes for industry.
to comply - with the Ontario
Workmen's Compensation, Act,•
which requires every employer
'of five or more persons to have
at least one trained in First.
Aid. Classes have been and are
being held for the personnel
of the Ontario Hospital. In all,.
some 73 persons have been
trained and qualified to date
this year.

The1968 Ford. Quiet. Strong.. Beautiful.
A greatroad car.
The 1968 Ford: the newest expression of the Fords that showed them-
selves astoundingly strong, wonderfully quiet -fest after test, drive
after drive. Back in 1965, Ford showed itself even quieter than a Rplls
Royce ... in 1966, Ford showed its quiet strength 'against the finest
.European luxury cars ... in 1967, Ford showed its rugged durability
conquering the steep steps of the los Angeles Coliseum. Now in 1968,
.the new generation Ford is, more than even, a great rood car.
Every one's a beauty too: the formal, elegant 2 -and 4 -door LTD'S,
The racy convertibles.. Luxuriod's wagons. A spirited new fastback that
seats six. And behind the good looks, better ideas: power disc brakes,
rear window defogger, 7 position tilt steering wheel, "no headlight"
.headlights (neatest disappearing trick of the year), AM Radio-
StereoSonic tape system and lots more. So many features, in fact that
your '68 Ford is almost custom outfitted for you.
Ford's new'improved SelectShift transmission, (works both'manually
and automaticrilly) puts three speeds into action, for greater -flexibility
and livelier perforrrranre with Ford's new V-8 engin,,. V -8's from a
brand new 302 CID powerplant... all the way up to the -rugged 428.
For snappy performance plus six -cylinder
thrift, there's the 240 cu. in. Big Six.
Try the 1968 Fords. Quieter because
they're stronger: Stronger because
they're better' built. And beautiful. Great
