THURSDAY, OCTOBER 11, 1979 Lottery funds for hospitals Ontario will provide $100 million of lottery proceeds over the next three years for hospital construction. Health Minister Dennis Timbrell told a con- ference of trustees and officials of small hospitals Friday that much of the money is expected from Ontario's share of the new national lottery being established to replace Lgto Canada in the new year. The government already provides funds for health research from the Provincial Lottery and the Minister said this commitment will be continued. The new funds will be used to supplement the Ministry's capital grant program to carry out already planned hospital construction. "By turning over the new source of funds to hospitals during a period of restraint on all public spending, the govern- ment is clearly indicating the priority it attaches to health care in Ontario," Mr. Timbrell said. The Minister said a portion is to be allocated for general and specialized hospitals across Ontario to replace outmoded facilities and, to develop new services in areas of rapid urban growth. The money will also be used to make energy- saving and safety im- provements.

Environment Canada and the United States Army Corps of Engineers say levels of the two lower Great Lakes could come within 10 to 15 centimetres of the high water marks established six years ago if extreme wet conditions occur over the coming winter. Under those cir- cumstances, says corps spokesman Michael Perrini, the likelihood of floods occurring would be significant. Two students... • from page IA average was also 89 cent.

These sites included th,e Midland (Huronia) Museum, the Huron Indian Village, The Wye Marsh Wildlife Centre, the Fort and Museum at Ste. Marie Among the Hurons, and the Penetanguishene Naval and Military Establishments. Special programs were conducted by professional staffs at these sites,• tailored to meet the needs of the group. Superficial tours were not given, but rather indepth studies exploring the state of Canada's new and growing civilization in the mid 1600s, with comparisons for per- spective to the societies as they existed in. other parts of the world, such as Europe, the Orient and the other settlements in the Americas. History, the status of the culture, the arts, science and socialogical developments in various parts of the world were per discussed with professional educators in retained for this purpose. is Ed said he enjoyed the ng indepth tour of the Indian (in village and the old car - a penter and blacksmith he shops the best. He had in been to Midland once Ed before- on a school trip in at. Grade 6 but did not have ite as much time then to study the historic sites. ncl' Ed will be giving a is luncheon speech .to the Goderich Rotary Club on November 9 about the "Adventure 'in Civilization" program. He says he will tell the club that it was not only a good program for lear- ning about history but also a good program for meeting . other people with similar interests. Thirteen students besides himself "participated in the program, some from as far away as North Bay, Kirkland Lake, Haliburton and Chatham and others from places closer to Goderich like Guelph, Stratford and Owen Sound. Ed had an experience that was not part of the program while in Midland. The trip in- cluded some leisure time at the Y.M.C.A. on Friday. While playing raquetball there, someone stole his pants, leaving him with only his gymn shorts: "The Midland Rotary Club bought me a new 'pair of pants. I thought that was pretty nice of them," he smiles. In future studies, Ed hopes to concentrate on the sciences but he thinks that history is a nice side- line. He likes history because it gives him a better understanding of people and institutions and. also explains why some things happen the way they do today, he says. skikw ATTE N TI O N VETERANS to Ex -Service Mee aid Women owl Dependents THE ROYAL CANADIAN LEGION SERVICE BUREAU OFFICER Mr. Clare Wall Provincial Service Officer London, Ontario ' will be visiting in the area.
