Though the building had collaps- ed prior to church time, many residents decided to stay home and watch over their own homes. The church bell which ordinarily rings at 10.45 and again at 11 a.ni. was not rung, since it was felt this could be confusing during the fire. The service was carried out with piano music, since hydro int- erruption due to the fire made it impossible to use the electric or- gan.

MacNaughton Says Hospital Will Be 1,200 Beds Size Denying that there had been a change in plans concerning the proposed Ontario hospital near Goderich, Charles MacNaughton said April 1: the ' only possible change had to do with the ulti- mate use to which the building might be put. Rumors current throughout the county had suggested that the hos- pital would be on a much smaller scale than originally contemplated. Other stories suggested the entire project had been abandoned. Add- ing weight to the stories was the fact that reference to the hospital in the recent budget brought down by the Frost Government, indicat- ed it was in the "requested" stage only. In his statement, Mr. Mac - Naughton said: "I am authorized to say on behalf of Honorable M. B. Dymond, M.D., Minister of Health, that there is no change in the thinking on the part of the Department with respect to the size of the proposed mental insti- tution to be built three miles south of Goderich on Lake Huron. The only change is the result of new trends and concepts affecting men- tal institutions to the extent that it might be multi-purpose in char- acter. Further, I am authorized to say that construction of cer- tain of the service buildings, such as power plant and so forth, will be undertaken at the earliest date possible in the summer of 1959." Cancer Society To Ask For $2,700,000. This April the Canadian Cancer Society will appeal to the public for an objective of $2,750,000. These funds are needed to con- tinue and expand the Canadian ef- fort to bring cancer under control. . The real hope for putting an end to this terrible disease—to eliminate the suffering it inflicts and the economic waste — lies in the nation-wide research pro- gram supported by the Canadian Cancer Society. $945,000 has been allocated for research this year. Doctors and scientists are con- stantly striving to achieve the goal of eliminating cancer as a major cause of death. But the impetus for this rests on the ability of the Canadian Cancer Society to provide the funds. In addition to its support of re- search, the Society needs funds to carry on its educational program designed to motivate people to seek early treatment of cancer. Also, more than 15,000 cancer sufferers are being assisted through the Society's welfare ser- vices. 0 Work Plan For Grand Bend's Harbour This Year Construction material is at the site and work is expected to start shortly on a $71,700 contract to build a new steel sheet -pile wall on the south side of the harbor at Grand Bend. The wall, roughly 400 feet long, will extend from the east end of the south pier to the fish shanties, cutting off a wide "U" in the har- bor. Deal Construction Co.., Belle River, has the contract, which also includes one dredging when the wall is completed. Public works engineers believe the new wall will increase the flow of water through the channel, thus sweeping out the sand which col- lects at the mouth. The sheet -pile wall will be 19 feet wide and will extend only four feet above water level. It will be kept low as a convenience to fishermen. When the wall is completed, dredging will be done along the south side of the channel. Dred- ing on the north .side was done last year. WEDNESDAY, APRIL 8, 1953 Zurich Fall Fair Will Now Receive $150 Grant from County Council As a result of the adoption of a new grant policy by Huron Coun- ty council at its March session, the Zurich Fall Fair will receive a 'minimum grant of $150. The introduction of the new schedule is based on eight percent of the annual prize money paid out. Agricultural societies holding fairs entirely within Huron will receive the minimum grant of $150. For fairs held at county boundary points, and drawing sup- port from neighbouring counties, the arrangement will be to grant $75 to the Fair at Lucknow, and $100 to the fair at Kirkton. Fairs in Huron that will receive the minimum grant of $150 are those at Zurich, Bayfield, Howick, and Dungannon. For Bayfield, the grant is the same as last year's; for each of the other three, the 1959 grant will be an increase of $25 from the amount of $125 paid last year. Fairs that will receive grants Although more research work throughout the world is being done on cancer than on any other medical problem, scientists still have not discovered the cause of the disease. Last year almost 23,000 Canad- ians borrowed sickroom supplies from the Canadian Red Cross loan cupboards in over 500 communities. This is a free service. greater than the minimum, on the basis of prize money paid out, are: Seaforth, $398,06; Exeter, $264.37; Brussels, $257.90; Blyth, $196.47, Douglas Miles, agricultural rep- resentative for Huron, explained the new grant policies to County Council. At a conference of agricultural societies this winter, Mr. Miles re- ported, it was decided to ask for county grants at the rate of 10 per cent of the prize money paid out. This request was whittled to eight per cent by the execu- tive committee of county council, and the eight per cent rate was endorsed by the council at the March meeting.
