Bank of Montreal open Exeter unit The Bank of Montreal' is • opening a Commercial Banking Unit in Exeter to service that community and, through locally situated Account Managers the surrounding towns of Hensall, Grand Bend, Goderich, Mitchell, Clinton, St. Mary's, Lucan and Zurich. K.J. Summers, Vice -President, Kitchener District, Central Division, Canadian Commercial Banking, said that the Exeter Commercial Banking Unit is one of 98 such centres, including 32 in Ontario, being set up by the Bank at strategic locations across Canada as part of a major realignment of its serves for boh business and individual customers. The Exeter CBU will begin operations on October 24 with a formal opening to take place later. Manager will be D.J. White, formerly manager of Simcoe Branch. He will head a team of 50 Commercial bankers and support staff. The CBUs are being created under an organization concept that seeks to provide greater professionalism and improved service for both business and individual customers through increased specalization by Bank personnel. Summers said that under the new arrangements "neighbourhood" branches of the bank, as they now exist, will continue to provide teller and other day-to-day transaction services for businesses but will become specialized in meeting the banking needs of individual customers. • The new Commercial Banking Units, such as the one being opened in Exeter, will for their part make available officers trained specifically to deal with complex com- mercial credit matters and with specialized cash management services for business firms. The Exeter CBU will work in close co- operation with some 9 branches of the Bank in Hensall, Grand Bend, Goderich, Mitchell, Clinton, St. Mary's; Lucan and Zurich. The new CBUs throughout the country will specialize in meeting the banking and financial services needs of independent and mid-sized businesses and agricultural en- terprises. "For day-to-day transactions such as deposit of receipts," White said, "these customers will be able to deal with the local branch. "The CBU will come into play only on Doctors support emergency wing WINGHAM - Doctors at the Wingham and District Hospital have officially thrown their support behind the hospital's plan to build a new emergency and outpatient wing. A letter to the hospital board signed by Dr. Walter Wong president of the medical staff, says the doctors view "with great elation" the board's decision to tender the project. It adds that the medical staff "vigorously exhorts" the board to see the project through "as expeditiously as possible," concluding that the staff formally endorses the board's actions to date and congratulates its members: This is the first formal endorsement of the project by the entire medical staff, though doctors who are on the hospital board had said previously that the new facilities are badly needed. The board still is waiting to get working drawings approved by the Health Ministry before the project goes to tender, possibly in mid or late December.

But even then, the customer will have the choice either of visiting his local Account Manager in the branch, or if he prefers, having his Account Manager come see him." White said various ways were examined by the Bank of meeting the differing needs of business and individual customers. One could have been to designate distinct "retail" and "commercial" branches and arbitrarily assign customers to one or the other for all their business. "While this. might have` been more convenient for the Bank," he said, "the arrangement we have developed provides for far greater con- venience and flexibility for the customer, allowing him to retain, as it were, the best of both worlds." Introduction of the new CBUs and the setting up of existing branches as specialized "retail" banking centres began in Ontario early this year and will be completed across Canada by the fall of 1984.

Dublin Hotel ruins, cause complaints Dublin Hotel ruins cause complaints DUBLIN - You see it everytime you drive through Dublin. A burnt out shell that used to be the popular Huron Hotel. Today it's no longer popular, and local residents are tired of seeing the ruins, they want the site cleaned up. Dublin village trustee Jerry Murray said that he received complaints about the site, but little could be done because the building was in McKillop Township. According to Clerk Marion McClure, there have been several complaints and the matter has been discussed by council. Leo and Anita Barretts, owners of the hotel, said they were still negotiating with the insurance company over the fire and as soon as a settlement is reached, they have plans to rebuild. • Feature - packed 48 -cm (20")* RCA TV... with free matching stand.
