FIRE CUTS ATTENDANCE
(Clinton News -Record)
Attendance on Easter Sunday
morning in Brucefield United Ch-
urch was cut drastically, due to
the interest and concern over the
fire which consumed Craig's store
and residence at the main inter-
section.
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.

Hereford cows. The resulting calves weighed:
124 lbs. each more (average total weight 443 lbs.)
than the 25 previous calves from these same cows.

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.

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.

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.
