tempor
About 140 students in Grades 9,
10, and I1 at F.E. Madill Secon-
dary School in Wingham were
busy last Wednesday morning
writing a mathematics competi-
tion.
Mathematics department head
Doug Neil said the Grade 9s write
the Pascal competition, the Grade
lOs write the Cayley competition,
and the Grade 1 Is write the Fer-
mat competition.
He said that the three competi-
tions are sponsored by the Canadi-
an Mathematics Competition,
through the University of Water-
loo.
Neil said the questions on the
Competitions are compiled by a
problems committee which con-
sists of practising high school and
university mathematics teachers
throughout Ontario. He added the
committee has invited teachers
from other provinces, and now
have teachers from Quebec, Mani-
toba and Alberta on the commit-
tee.
Neil said the competitions are
now international in scope. As
well students across Canada writ-
ing the competitions, students in
Australia and Europe are also writ-
ing the competitions.
Neil is the chairman of the
Grade 10 competitions.
He said the results of the com-
petition will be known sometime
in early to mid-May.
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.

Under the conditions of the by-

property may , also be used for
moto-cross racing and.motorcycle

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

races on three long -weekends dur-
ing the summer, beginning with

Eleven students in teacher'Terry

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.

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-
