Community Concern
Women Today has i9, -en
actively supporting the
Huron County Family Crisis
Centre Committee, which
was formed to establish a
shelter for battered women
and their children in Huron
County.
Seoerac Mennonite chur-
ches originated the plan to
open the house and have
worked very diligently over
the past year to lay its foun-
dation. The home should be
opening this spring. Two
members of Women Today,
Lynn Smith and !sou; l Mac-
Donald
ao-Donald are on the board of
directors.
Women Today has assisted
the committee by writing ar-
ticles for local newspapers
on wife battering as well as
advertising a recent public
meeting at which Trudy
Don, the co-ordinator for the
Ontario Association of Inter-
nal and Transition Houses
came to speak in Goderich.
They plan to continue the
support of the establishment
of this shelter as well as in-
crease public awareness of
the seriousness of the pro-
blem of battering. Women
Today would also like to pur-
chase books and educational
material to donate to the
Family Crisis Centre Com-
mittee. Donations specified
for that purpose, as well as
household supplies and fur-
niture are needed.

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

replacement of a single axle
truck to a new single axle
truck with a two-way dump
box plus diesel power and a

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.
