McKinley will seek re-election in Huron -Bruce
Huron -Middlesex MP
Robert McKinley told a
partisan crowd Friday in
Exeter that he would seek
re-election in the new
federal riding of Huron -
Bruce.
McKinley told the
annual meeting of the
Huron -Middlesex
Progressive Con-
servative Association
that the idea of not
running had crossed his
mind but that he quickly
discounted the notion.
The Zurich area
resident said he had
given himself completely
to the people of the riding
for the past 13 years and
that this total com-
mitment would continue.
McKinley lashed out at
the present Prime
Minister saying "My
Dear Editor...
• from page 5
but not to the point where
our hospitals 'are forced
into the invidious position
of not being able to
provide safe and suf-
ficient care to the
patients that they serve.
OHIP is an insurance
plan for which we all pay
premiums. It is
monopolistic in that, by
legislation, the gover-
nment is the only carrier.
Might I suggest that all
insurance companies
raise their premiums if
the services demanded
by the customer become
too costly.
Insurance is aimed at
preventing financial
tragedy. It is an in-
dividual's responsibility
to make sure •his
coverage is adequate. All
insurance plans work on
a deductible basis.
Insurance companies are
frugal and efficient.
Therefore Mr. Timbrell
your government would
seem to have three
alternatives or a com-
bination of them if you
are to maintain essential
services such as hospitals
at an acceptable stan-
dard:
1. Tighten up your
bureaucratic ad-
ministration, reduce the
horrendous flow of red
tape and the avalanche of
paper that emanates
from the Ministry of
Health and delete or
drastically modify ex-
pensive and politically
expedient programs such
as drug benefits.
2. Increase OHIP
premiums or Ontario
taxes to look after the
essentials.
1'3. Allow citizens of
Ontario to meaningfully
participate -in their own
total commitment will
continue until we get rid
of a man who has done
more damage in the
history of Canada than
any other man, Pierre
Elliott Trudeau."
In recognition of the
riding's changed boun-
daries, which will seethe
two Middlesex county
townships drop out and
four townships from
health care respon-
sibilities by a form of
deductible insurance
based on their income
tax.
This last suggestion
would surely be ac-
ceptable to your NDP
colleagues .since the
affluent would, in effect,
be paying a much higher
deductible than those in
the lower tax brackets.
The doctors of Ontario
are working beyond their
capacity to provide ex-
cellence in health care.
Please, I beg of you, do
not jeopardize our
remaining good will and
the health care of
Ontarians by foreclosing
on our essential in-
dividual hospitals.
Sincerely
K.' C. Lambert
F.R:C.S.(C)
Bruce county added,
McKinley announced the
opening of a constituency
office in Wingham.
Anson McKinley, a
former warden of Huron
county echoed his
brother's sentiments
about the present status
ofthe country by saying
Trudeau has sent more
Canadians out of the
country than any other
Prime Minister.
Adding his criticisms to
the recent federal
government was former
provincial minister` of
agriculture Bill Stewart,
who said if Trudeau

core area are far too
stringent.
"It's the town's loss,"
said Frank Strickland:
"It could have been the
first professional office
building in Goderich and
it would have been nice."
The developers are not
taking any chances on the
project. Rather than go
through the costs and
time of fighting the
matter through they have
opted for a reduced
version of the original
design.
"She's going up and
she's one story," said
Peter Strickland.
Town Councii briefs
BY SHIRLEY J.KELL•ER
Town council bad a brief•discussion Monday
evening in its committee session on the
resolution from_ Alexandra Marine and General'
Hospital regarding bed cutbacks ordered by the
Ontario Ministry of Health. No decisions will be
reached until council m,eets.Monday evening, but
indications are there the resolution will be
supported.
Only one councillor, Elsa Ha,ydon, was at odds
with the resolution from AM&G. She said
hospital administrator Elmer -Taylor had told
council the hospital has been operating at 60
percent capacity. Bed cuts then, according to
Haydon, as••outkned--hy the -ministry "don't seem
F like such a terrible hardship".
Haydon also questioned the methods the
doctors are using for practicing medicine in
Goderich, the implications that OHIP was in
jeopardy and the whole concept of health care
delivery at.AM&G.
"I am not in agreement with the wording of
this resolution," Haydon said, and presented her
own motion for eounciPs consideration.
Councillor Jim Searls agreed that the wording
in the resolution surprised him in one spot. He
said the suggestion was there that health care in.
the province was falling behind the care.
delivered in other countries.
"We know that Canada is a leader in the world
for health care," said Searls, citing examples of
people travelling from other countries to London
and Toronto for treatment.
Deputy -reeve Fiob Allen said he was content to
approve the resolution from the hospital board.
-"Who knows better than the hospital board
about such things?" asked Allen.
Reeve Eileen Palmer concurred.
"They are the professionals, we are the
laymen," said Palmer. "They are just looking
for support."
The new recreation director, Jim Moore,
reported to Goderich Town Council for'the "first
time Monday evening. He said he has been
touring Goderich's recreational facilities and
evaluating . the components' of •--the recreation
department.
Moore claimed he, is aiming for an "effective
and efficient" operation and plans to report to
the recreation . board .at its March 29 meeting
with ideas and suggestions..

"I don't want to leave the impression of being
critical," Moore said. He praised the facilities
available to Goderich and area people in town.

Andrew Boutilier, the town's building in-
•spector, agreed with Mayor Harry Worseli that
1979 should be a good year for building projects. '
Only six permits have been issued to date in
1979, but Boutilier said he knows of several
projects that are going ahead in the .next few
weeks.
Boutilier did review the situation at The
Spider's Web in the rear of the restaurant at the
corner of West and Waterloo Streets. „Re said
health. authorities had reached a compromise
with the Stratford man who operates the pinball
machine operation, regarding proper washroom
facilities.
Council expressed some concern that the
pinball machine operation could spring up in a
building that had recently been renovated for a
storage room. It was learned, however, that the
building permit was properly issued, and that
the use can chan.ge without notice.
The corner is propertly zoned for a pinball
operation, council was reminded.
' It was learned that some residents in the area
had complained about t'he noise from ' the
establishment, but council felt this was a
policing problem. Written complaints to council,
not verbal ones, would be needed to take further
action.

Bylaw officer Dick Eisler plans to crack down
on dog owners who don't have a 1979 tag for their
pets,
Last year at this time, he'd sold 558 tags. This
year he has only sold 355 tags.
Eilser said he would be getting on the phone to
the offenders to give them 24 hours notice that
the tags are due for renewal. If no action is taken
by the pet owner, there'will be'a fine of $10 in
addition to the price, of the dog tag.
"It is about time we got a little stiffer on this,"
said Eisler.

Illegally parked cars on Maitland Road in the
vicinity of Champion Road Machinery Ltd.
continues to be a problem for council.
In a report from bylaw officer Dick Eisler, it
was learned that illegally parked cars create a
hazard for other motorists.
"We're looking for reasonable solutions," said
Councillor John Doherty of the traffic com-
mittee. He suggested Champion should write a
letter to the traffic committee asking for per-
mission to park in that zone.
Eisler said there is angle parking only where
there is a sign posted for angle parking. All other
parking in the municipality is parallel parking.
