Clinton News-Record, 1987-03-25, Page 8Page 8—CLINTON NEWS -RECORD, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 25, 1987 Tipsiness changes hands By Dawn flunking CLINTON - B and M Rentals of Clinton is now under new ownership and about to take on a new name. Bill Crump, owner of B and M Rentals in Clinton and Wingham, has decided to sell his Clinton branch to Carl Richardson. Mr. Crump will continue to trianage his Wingham store, but he found that running two stores and a gas station was too much to handle. For the two and a half years that he owned the Clinton store, he said the business was very good and the customers were excellent. B and M Rentals, now under the manage- ment of Mr. Richardson, is going under the name of R and H Rentals. He does not plan on making any major changes, except he hopes to increase the equipment he has in stock. He will still be renting tools for homeowners, contractors and farmers, but he plans to have more of a variety for them. Mr. Richardson hopes to give the best ser- vice available and to keep the customers satisfied. Mr. Crump would like to thank the Clinton area for their support during the time he was in the business, and wishes Mr. Richardson the very best and hopes people support R and R Rentals as much as they did B and M Rentals.

Charitable tax number refused... • from page 1 recently been told they are�t� • le for a charitable number, thert� who donated can not claim it on their •i come tax. Keith Allen, of the Londesboro Lions, said the club first applied in early November for the number and then sent in a second application in late December. "We reapplied the way we were told and after 20 calls we found we couldn't get it," explained Mr. Allen. Committee wants • from page 1 Areas which have been studied thus far in- clude what training those who respond to emergencies have received. "One of these questions would be do they know CPR? Ambulance attendants would have to know CPR but what about the volunteer firemen?" expiained Ms. Worthington. Those surveyed within the health system were also asked if they thought the 911 emergency communication systems would be beneficial or if a paramedic system would be of benefit in the area. They were also asked if they felt there was a need for an air ambulance service which would see the plane located in London but service this area. Now that the physicans, hospital ad- ministrators, emergency room head nurses, ambulance services, police forces, fire departments and municipalities have had an opportunity to provide input, the commit- tee would like to hear from the public. "We want to know how the system is working. We want to know if there are any problems getting a hold of someone," said Ms. Worthington. "Or we want to hear "'Lyre's 1pts of red tape," said Mr. Men.1- As for the public's reaction, Mr. Allen says, "The people have been really good about it." He went on to explain that the club has to be set up as a complete charitable organization, ( which the Lions Club thought they were), such as the Easter Seals. public input... praise. We want to know if someone is over- whelmed with the system. "The public are the ones who are most aware of how the emergency system works." In defining the term emergency, Ms, Wor- thington said, "What is an emergency to one person may not be an emergency to another person. What I'm looking for isn't someone who was brought in with a cold, but people who have had a fracture, or someone who brought their husband in with a heart attack." However, she did say she was willing to read anything that was sent her way. "If it is a valid complaint, maybe something can be done about it," said Ms Worthington. For those who would like to matte a sub- mission to the study, simply write a letter to the Huron -Perth Emergency Health Ser- vices Study Committee at 105 Shipley Street, Clinton, NOM ILO by 5 p.m. on April 15. All letters should be signed: Once the results have been gathered they will be put into a report which will be sub- mitted to the committee and then on to the Ministry of Health.
