For further on Co y Stephanie Levesque Huron County's share of the proposed 1983 road budget is up by 4.97 per cent. County engineer Robert Dempsey presented the $5 million plus budget at Huron County Council's February 3 session. In 1983 the county will pay $1,773,000 compared to the ministry of transportation and com- munication's allocation off $3,169,000. The rernainder represents the 1982 surplus of $121,000. "In 1' 42 the expenditures came in under budget, I hope does as well," com- mented Mr. Dempsey. Although there were over expenditures in such areas as winter control and overhead, less was spent in the areas of roadside and hard surface maintenance resulting in the surplus. Almost $2.5 million has been set aside in the 1983 budget for fixed costs. This includes $600.000 for winter y information call toll free 1- ir.11 265•-4406. untario Ministry of Agriculture and Food is of- fering a simple home repairs course in April throughout the county.

Under new machinery, costs include replacement and upgrading of three single ax- le dump trucks to tandem trucks with snowplow wings, replacement of a single axle truck to a new single axle truck with a two-way dump box plus diesel power and a salt dome at the Auburn patrol garage. Other fixed costs are $242,000 for overhead costs, $172,000 for hard surface maintenance and $165,000 for roadside maintenance. Road construction and paving make up almost an- other $2 million of the total budget. Under hot mix pav- ing, $327,000 has been budgeted for 10.75 km of County Road 17 and $268,500 for 4.12 km of County Road 32. Under road construction, $363,000 has been set aside for 6.12 km on County Road 30. Road resurfacing will take place on County Road 12 at a cost of $660,000 for 12 kin and on County Road 20 at $58,000 for 1.85 km. Miscellaneous construction on County Road 14 and 11 has been budgeted at $49,000. Other costs under road con- struction include pre - engineering studies before 1984 at $57,000 and land purchase costs at $7,500. The largest single cost is under bridge construction. In the 1983 budget, $747,500 has been allotted for con- struction to the Forrester's Bridge on County Road 31. Land purchase for the bridge has been budgeted at $9,500. Construction on the bridge in 1983 will include the abutments, piers and place- ment of the concrete beams on the bridge. The con- struction of the concrete deck, waterproofing, pave- ment and completion of the bridge approaches will be done in 1984. ,St. John Ambu!ance's lOOth year In 1983, St. John Am- bulance marks its 111th year in Canada. St. John held its first recorded first aid class in Quebec City in the winter of 1883. The next year, On- tario's first recorded class was held at the Royal Military College in Kingston. Since then St. John has trained an estimated two million people in Ontario in first aid and health care. Its Brigade volunteers have helped more than three million, drying a child's tears, bandaging a blister, saving? lives. St. John has roots that date back to the Crusades, but it was reorganized in its modern form in England in 1877. The two driving reasons were concern over industrial accidents and over the inadequacies of medical care in the armed forces, though the ideal was to use newly organized first aid skills for the good of everyone. The pattern held as the ambulance movement gradually spread through the Commonwealth. Some off the earliest classes in Canada were filled by the men who were opening up the country, working on its railroads and in its northern mines. Ontario had a provincial centre in Toronto by 1895, headed by Dr. G. Sterling Ryerson. His vigorous belief in the need for first aid train- ing was born out of his ex- perience as an army doctor during the Riel Rebellion. Early councils had members Limn I eiero .'L*iugin ril'atli- ford, Berlin, London, Strat- ford, Sault Stop. Marie. St. John volunteers began their public service during the 1890's, looking after peo- ple at Queen Victoria's Dia- mond Jubilee celebrations, and at the opening of the Grand Trunk Railway in Niagara Falls. The first volunteer, uniformed Brigade unit was formed in London in 1909. One of their first public duties was one they still do, providing first aid coverage at the Western Fair. The first women's unit was a Toronto Nursing Division formed in 1919. The Brigade now has 169 divisions in On- tario. They are woven into the lives of their com- munities in countless ways, serving at local events and at some of Ontario's peren- nials such as the Canadian National Exhibition and the International Plowing Mat- ch. When the Stratford Festival put up its tent in 1953, St. John's first aid tent was right beside it. In 30 years, the Stratford volunteers estimate they have looked after 100,000 people. When Toronto open- ed its glistening Roy Thom- son Hall, St. John Am- bulance was involved. In two World Wars, hun- dreds of St. John women have served at home and overseas as nurses' aides in the Voluntary Aid Detach- ment. As World War I was ending, a terrible flu epidemic struck Canada. VAD's and Brigade members used their home nursing training, working with officials, helping families in their homes and even manning small hospitals when the staff were all too ill to work. St. John is a part of emergency plans in towns and cities throughout On- tario. Over many years, their volunteers have responded quickly and with courage to calls for help in a crisis. They have been on hand in the aftermath of ex- plosions in Toronto and Thunder Bay, during a twister in Sarnia, a flood in Hamilton, disastrous ship fires in Toronto and Sarnia. tornadoes in Windsor and in Woodstock, train accidents in Ottawa and Sudbury, dur- ing Hurricane Hazel and the 1980 Mississauga chemical spill and evacuation. Through a century of ef- fort, the goal of St. John has remained the same, to pro- vide first aid and health care training and service, but the courses it teaches today are very different from that first course in Quebec City. Ar- tificial resuscitation and the first aid treatment for burns, for instance, have changed from the pioneering techni- ques. St. John reviews its work continually, with the help of volunteer medical, nursing and health care ex- perts, and in the light of changing teaching techni- ques and technology. In 1970, St. John tested a theory based on its years of experience with industrial training. With encourage- ment from Workmen's Com- pensation Board of Ontario and the Industrial Accident Prevention Association, both long standing associates, it had an independent research study done with York University on the relation- ship between accident prevention and first aid. The result was a new industrial training program that em- phasizes safety and helps to reduce 'on the job' ac- cidents. There is a new approach to home health care being of- fered at a time when com- munity health care resources are stretched thin. As the percentage of senior citizens in the popula- tion grows, St. John is pro- viding Health Care for Seniors to help maintain their health and in- dependence. St. John Ambulance is an organization with a long, proud history, a hard work- ing present, and constant thought for the future. Dublin hotel destroyed SEAFORTH- Seaforth's volunteer firemen were an exhausted group Monday evening after being up all night fighting the blaze which destroyed the Huron Hotel in Dublin. Mitchell firemen joined them and eight firefighters from that town worked alongside a crew of 13 from Seaforth, under the direction of Chief Harry Hak. The hotel is in the Seaforth fire area, right on the border between the two depart- ment's areas. Mitchell received the fire call at 12:03 a.m. and arrived at the scene first. Seaforth got the call at 12:05. "It was a total loss," said chief Hak. "We haven't determined the cause, but the fire marshal's office is investigating. Arson is not ruled out at the moment." He said the building, which is owned by leo and Anita Barrett, and its contents were insured for $300,000. The owner could not be reached for comment. No one was injured in the fire. The Huron Hotel had adopted a new style in its entertainment recently turning from rock to country and western. Last year the tavern made the news after some local residents organized a Boycott to protest the appearance of male and female strippers in the club. C-1? trout e (anar1ian Hari FI,nr1
