Municipal addressing The 9-1-1 municipal addressing system for the County of Huron was supported by East Wawanosh Township council at a special meeting held Feb. 10. It was noted that there are three costs associated with municipal addressing and enhanced 9-1-1. The associated costs include the. purchase and installation of street and property signs, subscriber bill- ing, and the answering site costs. For subscriber billing, each resi- dent in the county will have a monthly charge of 32 cents put on their phone bills, and it's estimated that the annual answering site costs will be approximately $1.47 per person in the county, to be paid out of the county's general tax, levy. D TN ' IH iHAMADV4NCH!M East Wawanosh Township council approved. the temporary land use by-law for property owned by Martin Bit at Part Lot 29, Concession 7 at a special meeting of council held Feb. 10. However, there were conditions attached to the temporary land use by law, which will be in effect for just one year. At a meeting on Feb. 7, the Bites had applied for a three-year temporary land -use by- law. Under the conditions of the by- law, in addition to the existing ag- ricultural uses of the land, the property may , also be used for moto-cross racing and.motorcycle riding on a temporary basis. The Bitz's will be permitted to hold three two-day moto-cross race meets per year, but only one of the meets can be held during a holiday weekend. The other two meets can only be held during a regular weekend. At the Feb_ 7 meeting of council, the Bitz's ap- plication for a temporary land -use by-law had asked for moto-cross races on three long -weekends dur- ing the summer, beginning with the Victoria Day weekend in May. 90 -DAYS Id INTEREST NO PAYMENTS eiilh approved credlf • 1110 IIA CHAIN!MARC 1'r • EASY STARTING • AIR INJECTION F11R CLEit ER RUNNING • A GRFALCASUAI OR Ufi16I11G SAW DHC still seeking home Math competition., About 140 students in Grades 9, 10, and 11 were writing a mathematics competition last Wednesday morning in the F.E.

Retailing and remerchandisin.1. g Students spend afternoon at Hodgins Eleven students in teacher'Terry Walker's Grade 11 retail class re- ceived hands-on training in re- merchandising last Wednesday. The 11 students spent four hours at Hodgins Hornecalre and Pro Hardware store last week, helping to re -merchandise the Pro. Hardware section of the store. Hodgins Homecare was setting up a new. floor plan for the hard- ware department of the store, and since they would'need help, asked • Walker if the retail class at Madill could assist. The teacher was ea- ger to give his students the experi- -'ence. "This is good practical experi- ence for the students," said teacher Walker. "They are learning how merchandise is organized." Working with plans, the stu- dents were able to install shelves and put the products on the shelves. Using a plan -o -gram, the stu- dents were able to find out where half how many Continued from front page Part of the new DHC's job is to assist the eight hospitals which are in the counties of Huron and Perth in their future hospital restructuring and operating plans. Fraser Bell, the DHC's executive director' said all the hospitals were expected to have their operating plans into him by Friday and that all eight administrators will sit down and review them together. Shared services and resources is the big concern and one thing the DHC is trying to get from the Min- istry of Health for its hospitals is a Magnetic Resonance Imaging ma- chine which is diagnostic equip- ment used by doctors. There are only two MRI's availa- ble for Southern Ontario and sever- al DHC's in the province are put- • ting in their pitches as to why they should have one. "We don't have funds to put one in each county," said Dr. Ken Rod- ney of Seaforth, a member of the DHC. The counties are the last in Onta- rio to form a DHC. It's been a few years in the making and now the council has to bring all health groups in the two counties under its wing. That could take a while. Besides recently hiring Bell, who is assisting in finding a permanent location for the DHC. 'seeking to hire a long term health care planner and an administrative assistant, the DHe is looking to create a good image to the public. "Part of what we do is involve our community;" said Jeff Wilbee, DHC chairman. - He added that when someone is representing the DHC, "they are not representing a county, a com- munity or an institution but rather the whole district." , to install the s shelves there were and how far apart each shelf was. Walker said that once the shelf was installed, the students would be able stock the shelf according to the plan -o - gram. The students were assisting in the re -merchandising from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. The students involved were Angela Fischer, Missy Do- naldson, Christa Dickcrt, Wayne Baxter, Mike Dauphin, Jay Rid- gling, Mark Ortlieb, Isobel Schies- tel, Miriam DeBoer, Laura Sinclair, MODEL 55- 15" • INERTIA CHAIN BRAKE A- • AIR INJECTION FOR CLEANER RUNNING.
