Dav Care Centre is evicted • from page They were looking for us to carry them but we don't see them as a viable tenant," he said. Many of the parents at the meeting were angry that a charitable organization like the Kinsmen would operate as a business. "You've got a problem. You're a service club and your membership was overwhelm- ingly in favor of. helpmg out the community with a day care centre. Now, all of a sudden' you're turning into a business," said one parent. "In your newsletter, you say your purpose was to convince the people of Goderich that there was a need for a day care centre. You say you're pleased to be associated with the centre, supplied employment for five peo- ple, provided a service for the working peo- ple in Goderich, therefore serving our com- munity's greatest needs. Now, you're dos- ing the door in 10 months," said Barb Allen. "We thought you were a charitable spon- sor of this. We were betrayed," said another parent, Brenda Russell. "What about your Kinsmen oath?" asked Helen McKenzie. "Back in. February everything was fine and dandy. That was a different time period," answered Purser. The parents said that if they'd had some notice about the financial difficulties of the centre and the Kinsmen, they would have paid the rent that was in arrears. "It's too bad we didn't get some warning. Maybe the parents could have worked something out," said a parent. Parent Mark Russell said he thought the Kinsmen had used the day care centre to pay for renovations to the Kinsmen building through rent and was now looking for another tenant able to pay higher rent. "It's a red herring that these women are inexperienced business people. Anyone who can get day care going in Goderich has got to be a pretty damned good business per- GODERICH SIGNAI STAR, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 4, 1986—PAGE 3 Clinton Kinsmen rieket n=tiro ticket ��y fING llir'9 fast... �l y e het your tickets .,.........., limit _..... number left, Grdfifi 86 BARBECUE - 5O's - 60's DANCE - CAR SHOW SATURDAY® JUNE 14 CLINTON COMMUNITY CENTRE "Canada's Largest 50's - 60's Show" ENTERTAINMENT AT ITS BESTI DANCE 70 The F'�a&'n5 PLUS GARY ROBERTSON MUSIC SERVICE MC - CKSL RADIO'S Rich Greven PRIZES • CONTESTS - Twist - Jive - Buddy Holly Look -a -Like Queeen of the Hop - and\'more!

May,or Palmer said the situation was similar to what happened when the Municipal Day Nursery,grew too large to be located at the MacKay Hall. Because the town taking over the nursery school was the answer then, she said the same solution would apply for the day care centre. "I suggest you meet with council and the administrative committee and • we'll Took, after you. I trust that the Kinsmen will find it in their hearts to extend the lease during the transition period," she said. The Kinsmen said they would take the suggestion to their executive and get back to the day care centre operators with their answer. "We seem to have tarnished our image something terrible. Maybe we've been hasty in this and we'll have to look at it strongly. The only thing we can do is retreat and try to untarnish our image," said Purser, the Kinsmen's president. Health minister awards research grants. TORONTO — Sixty-six research projects, on subjects ranging from depression among the elderly to risk factors associated with kidney cancer, have been awarded a total of $4.36 -million in health research grants, Health Minister Murray Elston announced. The minister also announced that another $3 -million has been awarded to Ontario's five university health sciences centres for equipment needed to conduct health-related research. Health research grants are given annual- ly to support studies which evaluate aspects of Ontario's health care gystem with a view to improving effectiveness and accessibili- ty. The grants for the 1986/87 fiscal year will support research projects in Brampton, Burlington, Hamilton, Kingston, London, Ottawa, Penetanguishene, Toronto and Waterloo. Twenty of the projects are new, while the remainder are continuing projects which have received funding in previous years. One of the new projects, to be conducted by researchers at St. Joseph's Hospital in Hamilton, will study the frequency of occur- rence of depression among senior citizens in the Hamilton -Wentworth area. The study, which has been awarded $110,741, will in- clude evaluation of an educational program to control depression. Another new project will compare kidney cancer patients with healthy people of the same age, sex, and residential area to deter- mine what factors may increase risks of get- ting the disease.
