It was well attended by supporters and their guests, and preceded by a meal provided by friends of the Heart, the Legion Ladies' Aux- iliary branches 140 and 109, and the staff of Huronview. Generous, contributions from local merchants formed the basis of the repast. , Bruce Shaw, Mayor of Exeter and Presi- dent of the Chapter, welcomed the guests and reported on the first year's activities, which he said, had proved an unqualified success. The introduction of a fund-raising educational activity, Jump Rope, - had realized many thousands of dollars, and in addition to raising funds for heart sufferers, enabled the -board of directors to bring to the notice of the public the necessity for adop- ting preventative measures in order to pro- mote good health and longer life. The report of the treasurer, Lloyd Rowat, endorsed these remarks, especially when he announced that the total receipts of $86,552 was made up. of $31,453 in ordinary dona- tions, $20,060 In Memorium donations and $35,033 from the Jump Rope program. It was, he said, gratifying to know that this was the third highest per tentage in all the 62 chapters in the Province and had receiv- ed Honourable Mention in the Foundation's latest newsletter. Campaign Chairman, Pat Whalen, thank- ed the 700 volunteers and 35 campaign cap- tains, who had not only achieved an objec- tive of $30,000, but surpassed it by some $2000. Looking to the future, he said that plans for 1984 include the development of and Industrial Strategies Committee in order to extend and perpetuate the work in the areas of business and industry. The Jump Rope project was described by Don Young as having skipped its way to an overwhelming success. Some 1280 students from 14 elementary schools had par- ticipated. Implemented through the physical education curriculum, the pro- gram had reintroduced the old skill of skip- ping, but in a new way. Not only had the scheme raised considerable funds, but it had proved an enjoyable challenge, which could be accepted by a wide age range. The result of the students enthusiastic response was demonstrated by pledges amounting. to $35,000 and in return, they too had received rewards in the form of personal incentive gifts. Thanking the teachers and students for their support, Mr. Young said that plans for 1984 promise even greater participation, as indicated by the promised support of other school boards in Huron County and Huron -Perth. Responsible for the field of public educa- tion, Wallace Montgomery of Clinton, stressed the need for energetic volunteers in order to implement a program relative to post -cardiac care. Huron County, he said, now had four instructors, but more were re- quired in order to maintain the program and ensure its future as an ongoing venture. On behalf of the nominating committee, Gordon Baxter presented the slate of of- ficers. The present directors had agreed to retain their offices for a further year and two further appointments had been made Marian Zinn of Ashfield and Iry Armstrong of Exeter. The Publicity Committee, initiated in November 1982, had been chaired by Stan 5A2es81.tby, who expressed his thanks to the Clinton News Record, the Exeter Times - Advocate, the Seaforth Huron Expositor, Wingham Advanced Times and Goderich Signal -Star as well as CKNX Radio and TV. Support at the commencement of the cam- paign had been of particular assistance in getting things off to a good start. He also thanked Coordinator Joan Van den Broeck and Don Young, who had contributed so much to the Jump Rope program,. Two guests from Toronto were Jane Vin- cent, Regional Director and Ron MClory, Exective Director, who congratulated the chapter on their fine achievements and their endeavours to cover every aspect of the Foundation's objectives. The evening concluded with the guest speaker, Father J. Nelligan, addinghis con- gratulations to the chapter. In his own in- imitable way, which frequently produced bursts of amusement from his listeners, he nevertheless made his point with unerring accuracy. It was, he stressed, the personal responsibility of the community as a whole to concern itself with heart conditions and the causes. Most important was the con- tribution which each individual had to con- tribute towards the educational aspects. It was no good just setting out to cope with the results of ill health if a determined effort was not also made to counteract a life style which encouraged it. Concern and example were essential if these concepts were to be achieved in a positive way. Thanking him Dr. Ray Flowers expressed the appreciation of all present, and as an ex- ample of the way in which the Huron Chapter was pursuing its objectives, presented Father Nelligan with a skipping rope! Reserve fund could reduce tax impact The Huron County Board of Education may be considering the establishment of a reserve to reduce next year's budget impact on taxpayers. At its Oct. 3 meeting, the board turned down a recommendation from its executive committee which suggested establishing a $25,000 reserve. The $25,000 represents the half a year's salary saved since former superintendent of operations Robert Allan became director of education. The vacant position won't be filled until Jan. 1. The reserve which was turned down would have been used for future contracted ad- ministrative services. "How much contracted services do we have?" asked Trustee John Goddard. The director of education said the Mercer report was the only specific contract service for 1983. To a later question, superintendent of personnel Peter Gryseels said the report is confidential. But the board didn't completely wipe out the assibility of reserves. At its next meeting, the executive committee will con- sider the board's financial statement to date and a general reserve fund could be recom- mended. The board's financial statement to Aug. 26 shows that 60 per cent of the elementary budget, 57.7 per cent of the secondary budget and 61.2 per cent of the administra- tion's centre's budget have been spent. With four months remaining in the year and roughly 40 per cent of the budget left, Mr. Allan expects the budget will come in near target. His only concern is the $50,000 for roof repairs which was not included in the budget. Trustee Art Clarke said since the ex- ecutive committee will be looking at the financial statements, and since the recom- mended $25,000 would be restricted to its use, the board should leave the question of a reserve for another month. Other trustees agreed, as they turned down the recommended $25,000 reserve by a 7 to 5 unrecorded vote. October is declared stamp month Mel Farnsworth, Postmaster, announced today that the Goderich Post Office joins post offices across the country and postal administrations around the world in declar- ing October Stamp Collecting Month.
