Keller) The plight of Wingham and District Hospital's emergency facilities was discussed at last Friday morning's session of Huron County Council in much the same terms as the problems at Goderich's Alexandra Mar- ine and General Hospital were discussed in September. Once again, the Huron Coun- ty Hospital Planning Council asked county council to consid- er paying one-third of the ap- proved renovation and building costs for hospital emergency expansion. It was noted that OHSC will pay the remaining two-thirds of approved costs. Mrs. J, E. Morrey, administ- rator of Wingham and District Hospital, told council that use of the emergency facilities at the 104 -bed hospital has sky- rocketed to the rate of 500 to 700 patients per month. She estimated that it would involve a five-year building program in this county to prov- ide adequate facilities for all hospitals. The priority list reads Goderich, Exeter, Wing - ham, Seaforth and Clinton, with Clinton contemplating a full-scale building program. Reeve William Elston of Morris said he is not in favor of contributing to hospital building programs on a county basis. "Hospitals should be a com- munity project, " said Elston. Elston argued that since his township has an assessment al- most as high as the town of Wingham, his ratepayers would be paying more than their share since there would be far fewer people in Morris Township than in the town of Wingham. He said the "fairest and best way" to build a hosp- ital was "on a community use basis." Clerk John Berry wondered if approaching the provincial government for additional mon- ey to cover all building costs through OHSC would be out of line, Ile was told by Jirn Brint- nell, a member of the Goderich Hospital Board, that the trend today is for the government to keep the premium payments to OHSC as low as possible. He didn't feel the government could be moved to providing additional money. Exeter Reeve Derry Boyle charged council with "narrow thinking" and asked councillors what they would think if the city hospitals would not build to accommodate patients from outlying areas. He said that municipalities should work to- gether to build hospitals in Huron and those hospitals should serve all the people of Huron as well as people from outside the county. Goderich Reeve Paul Carroll said the matter was something for decision by the executive committee. He urged the com- mittee to give careful study, though, to the elimination of duplication where feasible and suggested that the county should be involved in the proc- ess and design approvals. Britnell summed it up by noting that it wasn't unusual for a county to "contribute large sums of money" to hospit- al construction. In other business, council met the new public health nursing supervisor, Miss Sandra Malabar who was introduced by Dr. Frank Mills. Also on hand was Faye Monroe of the public health staff who demon- WVedddin TRAQUAIR - SANGSTER October 16, in Carmel Presby- terian Church, Hensall, candel- abra, and blue, mauve and white chrysanthemums provided the background for the marriage of Linda Carol Sangster to Ger- ald Douglas Traquair. Parents of the couple are Mr. and Mrs. John Sangster, Hensall, and Mr. and Mrs. Murray Traquair, R, R. 2, Kipper. Rev. Wilfred Jarvis officiated while Mrs. M. Dougall supplied traditional wedding music in addition to the theme songs from "Exodus" and "Romeo and Juliet." The bride escorted by her father wore a gown of polyester crepe du charme, featuring a daisy -appliqued bodice, A-line skirt and full sleeves. Flowing from a blue waist band the cathedral train displayed a double row of daisies. A blue and white floral headpiece completed the ensemble and strated the Scarborough Scanner, a new vision testing aid for use with pre-schoolers, kindergart- en children and retarded child- ren. she carried a spray of mauve mums, blue and white shasta daisies. Maid of honor for her cousin was Monica Peebles, and brides- maids, Bonnie Sangster, sister of the bride, and Nancy Traqu- air, sister of the groom were gowned alike in copen blue polyester crepe creations with white crocheted Tape pilgrim bibs and cuffs. They carried colonial clusters of blue, mauve and white shasta daisies. Best man for his brother was James Traquair, Edmonton, while Paul Munn and Earl Mc - Nab acted as ushers. Following the wedding dinner held in the church parlour, an evening reception in the Hensall Community Arena was held with music by the Ken Scott Orchest- ra. 0 Two men robbed a bank last week but, luckily, the police were given a good description of the getaway car. It was either a 1966, 1967,196 8,1969, 1970, or 1971 volkswagon. How pleasant life would be if people with money used it the way people who don't say they would if they did.
