After the annual Community Clean -Up project in mid-May, Vanastra should indeed be a showplace worthy of a Sunday drive. Even the new Bayfield Boats building has its foundation laid, while several other com- mercial projects are well underway in the Industrial Park. Lifeguard training ' Over the weekend, the Vanastra Pool was host to the first of two sessions of the dif- ficult National Lifeguard Service training course, with 14 lifeguards froth. Clinton, Goderich, Seaforth and Exeter taking part, as well as Vanastra's own CHRISTA LEHNON and KERRY SCHMIDT. The entire course consists of 48 hours of intensive classroom and in -pool instruction, including simulated real-life pool rescues, lifeguard team .work, public relations and public awareness, major first-aid training and pool maintenance and improvements. Participants must be at least 16 years old, and have achieved their Bronze National Life Saving award. The National Lifeguard Service ( NIS) training was launched in 1964 in reponse to the recognized need for an advanced and consistent level of training for pool and waterfront personnel, and is today the only recognized lifeguard award in Canada. As well, the NLS award has 'a major first-aid component equal, to that of the Canadian Red Cross Society's Emergency First Aid Certificate.: The second segment of the Vanastra course will be held May 10-12. Chief in- structor is TONY KYLE, assisted by CIN- DY GARD and ELAINE SCHENK, all of London. Please vote Remember to get out and vote on May 2. Although polls show that only one in three Ontarians has any interest in the upcoming election, it is as true as always that we deserve the government we get - so make sure you get what you want! Sobering facts Thought for today: the number of im- paired drivers on our roads is' roughly equivalent to the number of empty liquor bottles tossed out in ditches along those roads.

Dr. Alex Addison, (now retired from practice) described how he and Dr. Walter Oakes car- ried out this unusual procedure... Dr. Oakes supported the foot of the stretcher. Dr. Ad- dison held the top end and the nurses sup- ported the patient cautiously sliding their charge down the wide bannister. Can you visualize that happening today!! Mrs. Ruth Tauber (daughter of the late Dr. Percival Hearn) recalls her father's description of the heavy leather stretchers used to transport patients to the operating room, which preceded today's type of stret- cher tables. Dr. Hearn had come to Clinton in 1923 and took over the practice of the late Dr. Thomp- son Sr. whose office was located in the home now owned by Dr. Frank Newland. He prac- ticed from this location until the time of his death in 1940, and during that time was an anaesthetist, along with conducting a general practice. Dr. Hearn was the only doctor in the area qualified to run a gas machine, and had to travel to the area hospitals, taking his own machine if the hospital had none. Mrs. Tauber still recalls the overpowering smell of ether which con- stantly seemed to envelope her father. Payment to the doctor in those days fre- quently was in the form of produce or fowl, and there seldom was a shortage of apples in the Hearn home. Dr. Hearn. like most doctors of his era, was on 24 hour Call, and families had to become accustomed to con- stant stant interuptions. Mrs. Tauber remembers a speaking tube which ran from her parents' bedroom through a partition to the office en- trance, enabling patients to summon the doctor anytime. Because of this so-called convenience, picnics and parties in the Hearn home were constantly suspended. On the request of Dr. Hearn, Dr. Addison spent time in Clinton as an assistant. He moved to Zurich to assist the late Dr. McKinnon, and in 1943 returned to Clinton to establish a general practice. In a recent in- terview with Dr. Addison he described the hospital's own vegetable garden in the loca- tion of the present parking lot. Patients in those days enjoyed fresh vegetables right from the garden, and Miss Grainger superintendent, personally canned a supply for winter months. Ambulance service in Dr. Addison's time was provided by Clinton's two funeral direc- tors, but frequently he transported his pa- tients to hospital in the rear of his own car. Dr. Addison will never forget September 16, 1943... the occasion when penicillin was first administered in Clinton. Because this now "miracle drug" was still in the research stage, Dr. Addison had to consent to send daily blood samples on the morning 7:00 a.m. train to Toronto and a report to a Toronto laboratory. He also recalled visiting his patient frequently each day, and keeping a detailed account of her condition. Dr. Addison remembered his usual good morning frofn the nurses at the nurses sta- tion. In 1946 Miss Jessie Gra** dent of Clinton Public it8 ice 1919 retired, and was succeeded' WA Annette Sinclair. Miss Grainger had taught the firpt nursing class at the old Clinton Hospit, 1, and from that class Miss Sinclair Riad graduated. Due to a continuous overcrowded condi- tion, plans were being considered for a new wing at the south end of the hospital. They were given the go ahead and Clinton Public Hospital's new wing was completed in 1944. The official grand opening ceremonies did not take place until May 12, 1949. It was stated that they wanted just the right time and weather. It was said that they couldn't have had a more beautiful day with the ceremony being held on the front lawn "cif the hospital. The official opening ceremony was performed by Thomas Pryde of Exeter M.L.A. for South Huron. Other speakers in- cluded Dr. W.A. Oakes, Elston Ca cuff, 114.1. for South Huron, and Jolla.rmst qng Warden for Huron County. A Plaque W ch was placed in the corridor of the clava g commemorating residents of Clinnoa, dedicated by Rev. D.J. Lane, Mitusteq ol; , Clinton was unveiled by Dr. J.W. Shaw. Mrs. Bess Fingland President of the C1inl,on Public Hospital Auxiliary was also there to greet the guests. This was all made possible by grants ahnd donations along with the auxiliary helping to furnish it. This new wing would surely make things easier for the Clinton Public Hospital? To be continued...
