rich doctor new MO
morning for a brief sus nnond aPprated the
appointment of Dr. Brian .7:'5Lyrich as assistant
medical officer of •health, effeetive September 2
and.as acting MOH effective October 1 for an
initial three month period.
Dr. Lynch, presently in private practice in
Goderich, will become MOH when he has suc-
cessfully completed the University of Toronto
course in public health. He will succeed Dr.
Frank Mills who was also a Goderfch physician
in private practice before joining the county as
acting MOH and olkaining his public health
degree through the University of Toronto. Dr.
Mills leaves doderich for an MOH post in Sud-
bury.
Effective September,2, Dr. Lynch's salary will
be $32,000 per annum. When he has completed his
course at the U of T sometime during 1978, his
salary will 'be increased to $36,000.per annum.
His salary for 1979 then, will be negotiated with
othex county department head salaries, in ac-
cordance with county pelicy,
Dr. Lynch has agreed to remain as MOH in
Huron for a period of five years and will enter
into a five-year agreement with the county. The
agreement ,expires December 31, 1982, and is
renewable after that time.
The Board of Health, chaired by William J.
Dale of Seaforth, interviewed Dr. Lynch and
made the recommendation for his services to
county council Friday morning. It is usual
procedure that the committee make its decision
concerning a department head, finalize all of the
details with ,,the successful candidate and then
take the matter to county council for final ap-
proval.
Chairman Dale expressed his concern in this
instance that the information about Dr. Lynch's
position appeared in the press before county
council had approved the matter. He said he
hexird the story_on the radio twice this morning of
the county council session:
"I just don't like this coming out before our
meeting," he told council Friday. "It tends to
make rubber stamps of the 45 members of
eounty council."
Goderich Reeve Bill Clifford was even more
adamantLabout his feelings that the story should
not have been published in the press or broadcast,
by the electronic media until county council had
approved the hiring of Dr. Lynch.
"I don't know what action' we can take to see
thal it Aoesn't happen in the future," said Clif-
ford, "but up with this we will not put, to quote
Churchill."
• The source of the story was not revealed,
although Dr. Mills said he wp questioned
concerning the matter by -a reporttr who already
knew that Dr. Lynch was the likely candidate for
the MOH's post.
In other business, Mrs. Lorraine Devereaux of
Seaforth will become the new nutritionist with
the Perth District Health Unit and the Huron
County Health Unit. Her salary will be $15,000
per annum and her duties will commence this
fall. Mrs. Devereaux will work part time in each
of the two counties, county council learned.
A joint committee on bealth "Services for the
two counties recornmeaded the idea of a hiring -a
fulltitne nutritionist andsharing the salary. Dr.
Frank Mills, Huron MOH. and Dr. Susan Tam-
blyn, Perth MOH, will work with the secretary -

Annapolis a tovvn in itself
The IT.M.C.S. Annapolis stood off Goderieh
„harbor Sunday afternoon to put 10 people ashore
here after they had made a three hour cruise
aboard the navy destekver as part •of Jubilee
Three celebrations. The 10, including mayor Deb
Shewfelt, to'wn clerk Harold Walls, assistant -
deputy clerk Larry McCabe and members of the
Jubilee Three committee, boarded the ship in
Sarnia shortly after 10:00 Sunday morning and
arrivedoff Goderich about 1:30 in khe afternoon.
The cruise was the firSt time the'navy ship had
sailed the Great Lakes,and was part of a navy
program to shoW the public what their tax
dollars were doing in the nation's defense
program. Along with the 10 Goderich passengers
were 200 sea cadets who boarded at Sarnia and a
group of people from the city out for a look at the
ship.
Crowds lined piers along the route of the vessel
to get a first hand look a t her. Passengers Were
offered a tour of the ship and some exercises
were carried out ,by the crew. The ship's
helicopter took off and made some submarine
hunt manoeuvres before heading for Goderich to
circle the town and announce the arrival of the
Annapolis.
Mayor Deb SheMelt was impressed with the
ship claiming it was "like a town in itself". He
said he enjoyed the cruise adding that the
Annapolis is quite a ship. The mayor said he met
the captain of the vessel and presented him with
Jubilee Three commemoratives.
The mayor said the Goderich guests were
taken ashore aboard a MacDonald M-arine tug
since the erew of the Annapolis were unfaMiliar
with the waters of the lake and didn't risk en-
tering the harbor. He said a governrnent pilot
took the vessel out of Sarnia and it went on to
Midland after putting the people ashore here.
Stedmans store existed in Goderich previoui to
his but is not sure when or why it closed its doors.
Twenty new Stedmans stores are being built in
Canada this year. By the end of the year there
will, be about 300 Stedmans stores in Canada.
About 62 of these stores are company owned
while the rest are franchises.
Collins,hopes to employ about eight people in
his store at various times. He sees Goderich as a
goocr retail centre. He says• many curious
shoppers have been peeking' in the -windows
already as boxes are unpacked and shelves -are
stocked for the opening. Inside the store

Besides seeing -the retail side of goderich,'
