Youth "lucky to be alive" after ride
CLINTON - A local 14 -year-old is "lucky to
be alive" following a ride on a truck's
bumper according to Clinton Police
Sergeant Wayne McFadden.
Sergeant McFadden reported that on
March 17 two or three youths were at the
main intersection in town when one jumped
on the bumper of a gas company truck.
The driver of the truck was unwire there
was anyone on his vehicle and proceeded
north on Albert Street after the light chang-
ed. When the truck reached John Street the
youth became excited and either jumped or
fell off, Seargent McFadden said:
County council gives $6,240 grant
Stanley Township Reeve Clarence Rau
had good cause when he spoke in support
of continuing a $6,240 recreational grant
for the indoor swimming pool at Vanastra.
Toward the end of the special meeting of
Huron County Council last Thursday,
Stephen Township Reeve Tom Tomes sug-
gested cutting the grant from this year's
consolidated budget.
A number of councillors spoke on the
issue, some supporting Mr. Tomes' sug-
gestion for a variety of reasons, while
others presented an equally varied assort-
ment of arguments for continuing the
grant. However, it was Mr. Rau who turn-
ed the tide - and brought about the collapse
of his fellow councillors - when he told his
tale.
When he was a young lad, Mr. Rau said,
he never had an opportunity, as children
do now, to board a bus and travel to an in-
door pool for swimming lessons.
"I never did learn how to swim," he
confessed.
However, all that has changed as a
"He haacial cuts when he was taken to
the hospita ; he had minor injuries. He is
lucky to be alive," he stated.
Because the youth is a young offender, his
name could not be released by the police
department,
to Vanastra pool
result of recent swimming lessons he
received at the Vanastra pool.
"I learned how to float," Mr. Rau told
the meeting.
When council regained their composure,
a 23-8 recorded vote approved the $6,240
grant.

CPH set for fundraiser
CLINTON - Thousands of householders
will be asked to help support the Clinton
Public Hospital (CPH) building fund project
when an extensive fund raising campaign is
conducted in April.
The door-to-door canvass will see
volunteer canvassers working towards rais-
ing more than $150,000. The money will go
towards a major building project at the
hospital that will see the construction of a
new obstetrics facility and the renovation of
the chronic care area of the hospital. The
cost of the project` is estimated at close to
$1 -million.
The door-to-door canvass is a major
source of fund raising for the project and
plans are well underway for the endeavour
which is scheduled to take place on the week
beginning Monday, April 27.
Some 16 local people have volunteered to
act as canvass captains for the drive. They
in turn are recruiting canvass teams who
will carry out the door-to-door canvass.
This extensive fund raising effort will see
'canvassers calling on all Clinton residents,
as well as those in Bayfield and Auburn, and
householders in the townships of Goderich,
Stanley, Tuckersmith, Hullett, East and
West Wawanosh.
. Fund' raising organizers are confident
that the canvass will be a success. The de-
mand for obstetrical services has increased
at CPH to nearly triple from just a few years
ago. In 1980, some 55 babies were born at the
hospital. This year the figure is expected to
exceed 150.
The present obstetrical facility is over 40
years old and is combined with the chronic
care unit. Chronic care has been recognized
as„one of the most rapidly growing needs in
hapital care. In order to provide essential

hands.
Prizes for the most lone hands wereon
by John Flynn and Myrtle Taylor.
A second party will be held on April 6 at 8
p.m. in the cafeteria.
and modern medical services in both the
obstetrical and chronic care areas, CPH
must update its facilities.
Construction -on the new addition is ex-
pected to begin this spring. It will add ap-
proximately 5,000 square feet to the present
hospital.
As well as the door-to-door canvass, the
fund raising committee is staging a variety
of special events programs throughout the
year to help raise dollars for their overall
goal of $400,000.
The next upcoming event is to be held this
Saturday, March 28 at the Clinton Legion
when the committee hosts a Hawaiian
Getaway. This evening of feasting and
entertainment gets underway at 7:30 p.m.
with a dinner, featuring shish-ka-bobs, fried
rice, Hawaiian salads, tropical drinks and
fruit desserts. At 9 p.m. the band Anything
Goes takes to the stage for an evening of
dancing. You may even want to try the
limbo.
Proceeds from this event will go directly
towards the fund raising drive. 'Pickets are
still available through the fund raising of-
fice at 482-5528, from the hospital or from
comrnittee members.
