Chairman Counsel Goderieh OPP officer -speokt-at WI meeting -`-'- P"r4i s l; AREA NEWS ROUNDUP FORDWICH — Bill Wilson, a member of the staff of the Gode- rich Ontario Provincial Police Department, was the guest speaker when the monthly meet- ing of the Women's Institute was held in the hall here. The speaker showed a film en- titled "Zenith 50,000" which told the members of the special phone number that can be used to get assistance or alert the police of anything suspicious seen by a citizen. He also reminded his au- dience of a public duty to aid the police in ways such as writing li- cence numbers of cars involved in hit-and-run accidents or re- porting cars in suspicious places. Officer Wilson then mentioned several safety precautions: mak- ing sure all windows and doors are secure and having a neighbor check your home when you are away for a long period of time; the use of an electric pencil which can be borrowed from the police Four injured Glenn B. McLean of Brussels was treated at Wingham hospital for injured ribs following a single car accident on James Street at King Street in Brussels last Sun- day. A passenger in the car, Yvonne Blake of RR 2, Brussels, was exa- mined and released from hospital with a bruised arm. AlsoSunday, PaulO'Neil of RR 1, 1ngha s admitted to hospitaIwith a-fr ctured ankle. The OPP report he was riding his motorcycle in a field when it struck a bump, causing him to fall off. Max Brown of RR 2, Lucknow; was treated at hospital for an in- jured shoulder after his truck apparently went out of control and rolled `on West Wawanosh Concession 9 last Saturday. or some insurance companies to mark home valuables perman- ently, such as radios, stereos, television sets, jewellery, also cars and bicycles so the owners can identify them if they are stol- en and recovered by the police. He stressed not leaving keys in cars while unoccupied and the wisdom of wearing seatbelts. The speaker was introduced by Mrs., Doug Harding. A question and answer period followed his talk and raised some very thought-provoking 'ques- tions. The new president, Mrs. Rich- ard Agla, was in charge of the meeting. Devotions were con- ducted by Mrs. Harold Doig, en the topic "Spring". She said that "beauty can be seen from win- dows and shown from different angles, depending on where one looks or where one stands", The motto, "Let us resolve to see our own faults as clearly as we see the faults of others", was discussed. by Mrs. Harding. She and Mrs. Elmer Harding then en- acted a humorous dialogue on the subject of new officers and find- ing faults in them. Continuing., Mrs. D. Harding stressed the point of not criticizing or finding fault in others, but choosing our words so they do not hurt people and always being sincere and kind. The roll call, "a compliment or criticism of some existing law, municipal, provincial or fed- eral", brought some excellent answers. The members collected $734.50 for the Canadian, Cancer Society during their recent canvass of the area. Copies of some very old pic- tures of Fordwich, as displayed in the post office, are to be en- tered in the Tweedsmuir History book. Comm. recommends... No health council for Huron -Perth No district health council should be formed for Huron - Perth the steering committee set up two years ago to consider the proposal is recommending to,the provincial health ministry. In a narrow 8-7 vote, the coni- imittee last week elected to op- pose the plan which would have brought all eight hospitals in the two counties under a common council. It is now up to the .ministry to decide what action to take on the basis of the recommendation, committee chairman Lloyd Morrison said. The government could decide to form the council anyway or there is a "strong possibility" Huron and Perth counties could be thrown in with another health council, probably either •Grey - Bruce to the north or Thames Valley to the south. Mr. Morrison attributed the negative vote to a reluctance on the part of some committee members to accept the govern- ment's promise the health coun- cil would be responsive to the wishes of local citizens. He also noted the strong op- position to a council from the medical societies in the two coun- ties and the "obvious public apathy" to seminars held by the committee. The best attended meeting, held in Clinton, at- tracted only 31 people and only about;10, per cent of 450 question- naires sent out .were returned. Norman Hayes, another mem- ber of the steering committee, said the submissions that were received tended to oppose the for- mation of a district health council by about the same margin as the final 8-7 vote. Those favoring the council, on the other hand, pointed out that with the large Thames Valley health council to the south, hospi- tals in this area run the risk of losing any identity unless they band together. As it is; Mr. Morrison said, the combined capacity of all eight hospitals in Huron and Perth can hardly compete with that, of the hospitals in London alone. It was noted the two counties have much in common in that both are predominantly rural and non -industrial and that,. with a combined population of 114,000, they meet the government's population minimum of 100',000 for a health council area. The ministry originally wanted to combine five counties into the district council, Mr. Morrison said, but was negotiated down to • just Huron and Perth. Plans are well in hand for 1978 plow match Reports on major develop- ments were presented by most of the 23 chairmen at the general meeting of the Huron County Committee '78 International Plowing Match held irr the agri- cultural' office board room; Clin- ton on May 18.
