There is limited news from
the ball diamond except for
the Lions slo-pitch tourney
as several games were rain-
ed out or cancelled.
'l'he Midget girls did play,
coming out with a two run
victory ,over the girls from
Stanley Township. This
game, while featuring many
good plays and hits, was
climaxed by a grand slam
home run by Jeanette
.lohnston.
The only other games
played featured slo-pitch
inen's and ladies' action.
The Londesboro ALLBA
Farms team were edged by
the newly formed Bromley
Bombers' from Blyth in one
slo-pitch game. The second
slo-pitch game featured two
teams made up from the
large number of players
eet in Londes or
keen to play on the second
team -
It seems now that there
are three men's teams.
Perhaps team names would
help this writer keep them
straight. 1 think Team 3 won
this game by two runs.
The Summerhill ladies fell
victim to the Blyth team,
while the Londesboro ladies
were edged by Benmiller.

Fund grows
GODERICH - The Hospital
Building Fund in Goderich
has started to grow, and
more than $13,000 in- cash
and pledges were received
last week.
While specific fund raising
events are still being
planned, the first donations
and pledges will help the
campaign which aims to
gather $250,000 for the
construction of a new four -
bed critical care area.
There is no direct funding
for the construction and the
board is committed to raise
$495,000 for the project.
for tourney
a 12 to 2 score.
The winners moved to the
"A" Division while the
losers dropped into the con-
solation or "B" division. In
"A" division a game putting
the Cobras against the
Foresters went into extra in-
nings before the Cobras
eliminated Benmiller by two
runs. The final score was 12-
10.
Carlow came up with a
strong game also in "A"
division eliminating
Londesboro 18 to 2. The
Lakers came up against
stronger opposition in their
second game losing a
squeaker to the Winthrop
Warriors 5-4. This left the
Cobras and Carlow to play A
semi-final to decide who
would play Winthrop for the
'A' division championship.
The Cobras came up strong
eliminating Carlow Country
by a score of 13-1 on Sunday
afternoon.
In 'B' division action
Holmesville met nearby
Clinton and had an easy time
winning 26-4. Porter's Hill
eliminated Westfield to gain
a chance at their
Holmesville neighbors. Also
in 'B' division a game featur-
ing four innings of rain,
Hodge Millers came up with
a 12-5 victory on Sunday,
Portors Hill 13-11. This set
the stage for the 'B' cham-
pionship putting Porters Hill
against the Hodges Millers.
The Millers came up strong
easily winning the game and
the $75 runner-up prize
money. Porters Hill by vir-
tue of finishing second in the
'B' division picked up $50 in
prize money.
Fittingly the most exciting
and best played game, the
'A' division champion was
not decided until the second
extra inning. Winthrop War-
riors took the trophy and
first place money of $100
with a final score of 6-5. The
Goderich Cobras picked up
$50 for their second place
finish.
The organizing committee
would like to thank the
teams for their excellent
participation, the Lions that
worked so diligently and
especially the volunteers,
umpires and scorekeepers
for their generous effort.

To have psych
services
Clinton Hospital not keen
Members of the board at Alexandra Marine and
General Hospital in Goderich learned Monday
evening that officials at Clinton Public Hospital are
not showing much enthusiasm for a new psychiatric
out-patients' clinic in The Hub of Huron County.
The Goderich hospital board has offered to set up a
service in Clinton similar to one already located in
Wingham.
Additional government funding for expanded
psychiatric services was recently made available to
the Goderich board which has the mandate of the
Ontario Ministry of Health to supply psychiatric
services throughout Huron County.
The Goderich board was handed that mandate
when the former Goderich Psychiatric Hospital on
Highway 21 south of town was closed several years
ago. Assurances) were given then to the people of
Huron County, that psychiatric out-patients' services
would be made available in the major centres as soon
as possible.
When the new money became available to open
another mental health centre, Chief of Psychiatry at
Goderich, Dr. Michael Conlon, recommended a
Clinton site.
Seaforth . Community Hospital has expressed
determination to have such a service located there,
and had asked the Goderich board to consider a
Seaforth site.
While Seaforth does not have suitable facilities for_;
the proposed day care centre within the hospital at
present, officials there have offered to supply tem-
porary accommodation free of charge until space can
be provided.
However, Dr. Conlon has remained firm in his
recommendation to the Goderich board to locate first
in Clinton. He says Clinton's central location would
put the service closer to more people, and reminded
the board that proximity of the people to the service is
v ital to the optimum use of the clinic.
Dr. Conlon has found excellent facilities directly
across the street from Clinton Public Hos 4ital f 4r

Health Unit.
However, preliminary informal negotiations with
the officials of Clinton hospital indicate the clinic is
not seen as a welcome addition to the health care
services system there.
"We're having a bit of difficulty selling it to them,"
said a puzzled Elmer Taylor, administrator of
AM&G
The stumbling block is the rent for the building
owned by Clinton hospital.
Clinton hospital quotes the cost per month to rent
two-thirds of the first floor of the heated premises at
$1200. Guidelines from the Ontario Ministry of Health
allow for only about $2500 per annum, when facilities
are within a provincial hospital complex.'
The board at AM&G discovered Monday evening
that there is very little flexibility in a budget for
operating a community psychiatric clinic like the one
proposed for Clinton.
The board cannot, for instance, spend more for rent
and reduce the service offered to patients.
It was pointed out by Elmer Taylor that Clinton's
hospital administrator Doug Coventry takes the
position that the Clinton hospital has no way of
recouping the revenue lost by reducing the rent on the
facility.
Complicating the issue is the fact that the Goderich
board is advertising for staff for the new service. Dr.
Conlon explained there is some urgency about
spending the money set aside for the improved
psychiatric services in Huron County, warning it
could be lost to the people here if e new clinic is not
opened shortly.
Negotiations are to continue with the Clinton
hospital, hampered by an AM&G board decision
Monday evening to hold rent at no more than $300 per ,
month.
"We don't want to beg Clinton to take the service
that is being offered to them," said Dr. Conlon. "But
it is a good service and one that is recognized by the
Ministry to be needed by the people of this county."
