Activity in specific areas fluctuated, with surgery and emergency treatment down two per cent, lab work _up two per cent, radiology up one per cent and ECGs up eight per cent.

In addition, Dr. Hanlon told the board the physio- therapy department is now so busy there is a waiting list for non -urgent cases, and the staff is working on getting a speech therapist to replace the one who moved away last year. Turnberry Twp. Council commends school board trustee Art Clark, a local trustee on the Huron County Board of Education, got a pat on the back from Turnberry council for being instrumental in keeping the school board budget increase down this year, Deputy Reeve Doug Fortune said ° at last Tuesday's meeting that council has been ' critical of heady school board budget increases in the past. But this year the board has kept the increase to around the five per cent mark and "We • (council) want to commend you (the school board)," he said. --When • -k-el 'by— Reese-. Brian McBurney how the board kept the increase in /dine, Mr. Clark replied board members set out with the intention to keep .it low and were able to do so .through strict budgeting. I Teachers' salaries are restricted to an increase of only five per cent for the majority of 1984 and since salaries make 'it twotthirds of the board's budget, he said, it helped keep the in- crease within reason. There may be a larger budget increase next year, since, the board must expand programs for gifted children andFrench due to new government education regulations. Declining enrolment continues to plague county schools, he added, and estimated the system has lost over 1,300 students since 1979. There also are 200 fewer pupils in county schools this year than in 1983. The Standing Senate Committee on Agriculture Fisheries and Forestry Chairman: The Hon. Herbert O. Sparrow When Mr. McBurney asked if there is any chance Turnberry Central School might be closed due to declining enrolment, Mr. Clark said he never has heard anything about it closing, although three county schools are under review at the moment. In other business, Mr. Clark put on another hat, that of engineer from Maitland Engineering Services in Wingham. He supervised the opening and inspection of tenders for the Bolt Municipal Drain during a closed session of council. The matter was discussed in -camera since the -decision of a drainage tribunal into the drainage works . would not be known until last Thursday. Council ten- tatively awarded the con- tract to Hanna, and Hamilton Construction ki of Listowel pending the decision of the tribunal. Hans Kuyvenhoven was nominated to another two- year term on the Wingham and District Hospital Board by council. Councillor Joan Wright declared a conflict of in- terest on the discussion and subsequent vote on the building permits, since her husband Raymond applied for a permit. Council set a rate of $6.00 per rod for compensation to landowners whose fences are taken down during con- • structior % the `o'cinti- concession this summer. The next meeting of Turnberry council is set for, May 1 at 7:30 p.m: at the municipal ;office, Bluevale. • Deadline extended for historical atlas The deadline for ap- plications for space in the 1984 Huron County Atlas has been extended until May 15. Faced with a last-minute flood of queries from Huron organizations and families regarding the 'atlas, . the committee decided to extend the closing date from. April 15 to May 15 at a meeting held in Goderich last Mon- day.
