I think it would be grossly unfair to Seaforth to withdraw our services at this time when they're right at the bot- tom," he said. - • McKillop Reeve Marie Bicknell also sup- ported the grant request. "I speak in favor of Seaforth as we . should treat our hospitals all alike in the county. The rest have been coming in regularly for their piece of the pie," she said. However, Exeter Reeve Bill Mickle spoke against the argument to prop up the "low man on the totem pole" with county tualized when we invest our resources. to develop a blue print into a building. Life achieves fulfillment when we invest Ourselves to develop a determined. and • defined destination. Luke's gospel ' tells us, "but the people would not receive Jesus, because, his face was'se't toward Jerusalem:" Christ's deter-, 'mined is to glorify God; Christ's defined destination .is "tR seek and to save' the lust and; Christ's developed, destina- tion is '.'to give his' life as a rasom"' to ,. redeem mankind for God's glory. • • I believe LIFE is THE GREAT ADVEN- TURE which offers purpose, extends mean- ing And gives fulfillrrient.'

"'If ii s council's intention to get out of the business l of hospital grants),'we've got to look very seriously at what we're really intending to,do. It's got to be based on equi- ty throughout the system," he said. Seaforth Reeve William Bennett said the county. should be willing to maintain the high standards set liy the hospitals and he hoped corincil would vote in favor of the Seaforth grant for the $2.8 million building project.
