Your Heart Fund
donations support
research programs
In 1961 the Ontario Heart
Foundation provided
7,082,430 for cardiovascular
research projects in the
Province of .Ontario. In
addlton to this amount, the
Foundation has matched a
$300,0001ottery fund grant to
help boost stroke research in
theprovince.
These facts were released
November 6 at the annual
meeting of the Ontario Heart
Foundation held in the
Westbury Hotel in Toronto.
In delivering the report of
the Medical Research
Committee, Chairman Dr.
Malcolm D. Silver said the
funds allocated to research
represented a fot}r per cent
increase over the allocation
6x'°'1960 and in total sup-
ported 114 grants-in.atd and
40 personnel awardsat
teaching centres and
hospitals across Ontario.
A total income of
71,151,501 was reported by
the honorary treasurer, R.J.
Nobes, a substantial 10 per
cent increase across the
board. The Foundation's
income is derived from the
annual 'Heart Fund' public
appeal; bequests; 'In
Memoriam' donations; and
an annual grant of $150,000
from the provincial
government.
Seventy-eight per cent of
total income is spent on
research and related ac-
tivities; 10.7 per cent on
community and educational
purposes encompassing
ptofeeslonal and public
education and Emergency
Cardiac dare programs; 0.1
per cent on campaign im-
poses and 4.8 per cent on
administration.
E.R, Quinn, President of
the Ontario Heart Foun-
dation, said in his report
that: '`Our volunteers are
the backbone of our fund
raising and education
programs. Their talent,
energy and dedication is our
greatest resource. In my
travels to several Ontario
communities I have had the
chance to talk with volun-
teers and to sense the
potential that can be har-
nessed and transferred into
the policy making functions
of the Foundation—as well as
the °on the ground' strength
at the community level."
Specific plans were
revealed by Quinn which
would ensure an increasing
voice on the Board of
Directors for volunteers
from different regions of the
province. Through the
creation of a public
education sub-commmnfttee,
and through the continuance
of chapter development
programs involving year-
roundt recrultmeatty brier-
tation and training' of new
volunteers, all regions of the
province c ould be involved in
the total work of the Fame
dation.

Tudlcersmith says
Fire hall costs too much
By Shelley McPhee
Tuckersmith Council is
concerned about the cost of
constructing a new area fire
hall, and decoded not to sign
an agreement approving the
construction of the $295,000
building.
Scheduled to be built in the
spring of 1982 the new hall
will be located in Seaforth
and will service the town,
along with Tuckersmith,
Hullett, McKillop and
Hibbert Townships.
Tuckersmith's share of the
total cost of the project will
be $49,497 but at their
November 17th meeting,
council questioned the cost of
the building. Deputy -Reeve
Bill • Brown, council's
representative on the Fire
Area Board, suggested that
council not sign the bylaw,
noting that B.M. Ross and
Associates are studying the
building proposal again.
"Vanastra's curling club
was twice as big and cost
ahnost one-third the price,"
Reeve Robert Bell-- noted,
and instructed Deputy -
Reeve Brown to inform. the
Fire Board that Tuckersmith
feels that the building cost
estimate is too expensive.
High interest rates and
community fund raising
projects, like the Seaforth
pool and arena canvasses,
have had an adverse effect
on the Van Egmond Fund,
The Foundation is having
financial difficulties and is
considering selling a parcel
of land between the historic
house and cemetery.
Council learned that the
land was to be used as
parkland, with a landscaped
walkway leading from the
house to a historic marker,
but the Foundation may
sever the land into lots for
sale.
No plan has been drawn
up, and the Ontario Heritage
Foundation is reviewing the
matter before any final
decision is made. . -
Coundllor Bob Broadfoot
suggested that the adjoining
Egmondville . Cemetery
should have the option tobuy
the land and noted, "I would
hate to see houses there "
.. Councillor ._Jim Papple
reminded council that there
is money available in the
park fund and it could be
used to develop the land.

that if the practice cow
thaws, farmers will be fined.
"People don't have to use
the roads," Reeve Robert
Ben noted, "they can tune on
their own land.►,
The main concern of
council is that large deposits
of dirt and mud are left on
the road by the turning
plows, cauaing a possible
hazard to other traffic.
Reeve Bell noted however
that mud from harvest
machinery leaving the fields
does not cause as great a
problem, bit 'fated that' a
bylaw is being drawn up to
restrict plows from
depositing great amounts of
dirt.
Other townships, Reeve
Bell said, have a set charge
for and extra work required
by the roads department to
remove the dirt and the cost
of the clean-up IS charged to
the owner. Tuckersmith may
be taking a similar route of
action to limit this problem.
In other council news, it
was decided not to build a
$4,000 detour route around
the Roman Line Bridge. A
new bridge is being con-
structed but Reeve Bell
noted, "I think for the
amount of traffic on that
road that a $4,000 detour
would be questionable."
Council agreed that it would
be easier, and less ex-
Road

pensive, to re=route traffic
that regularly uses the road.
Last year, Tuckersmith
Council donated 1100 to the
Clinton Minor Hockey
Association, but they agreed
this year not to make this a
regular donation. A request
from Clinton Minor Hockey
was turned down and Reeve
Bell noted that council was
not in the habit of donating to
minor hockey because it
could set a precedent.
Council understood that last
year's donation was a one-
time effort to help purchase
new hockey sweaters.
More than 50 people have
opposed the proposed ap-
pointment of Jim Rose to the
newly formed Seaforth and
District Centre Board.
Council received a petition
signed by more than 50
township residents who
recommended that
'luckersniith's Councillor
Jim Papple be named to the
board, which . will be
directing the construction of
the new community arena in
Seaforth.
The board members were
selected at a meeting held in
Seaforth and represent
Seaforth, Tuckersmith, as
well as Hibbert, Hullett and
McKillop Townships. Both
the board concept and the
recommended members
must be approved by each
council and Tuc kersmlth
decided to meet with the
various councils before they
accepted the appointment of
Tuckersmlth's represen-
tative Mr. Rose.
