ment as soon as it arrives.

OK Addition
To Hospital
At Goderich
GODERICH — Basic archi-
tectural plans for a 44-bed ad-
dition to Alexandra Marine and
General Hospital have been ap-
proved by the Ontario Hospital
Services Commission.
Hospital board chairman John
Sdhaefer said detailed plans
should be ready in about a
week.
The addition — to cost about
555,000—will replace the origi-
nal hospital building, construct-
ed before 1900. •
Construction of the addition
and demolition of the old build-
ing are to begin in early sum-
mer.
The hospital completed a 41-
bed addition six years ago and
now has about 90 beds. Most of
the beds in the old building are
used for chronic care patients.
Architects for the project are
Dunlop, Bordell and Matsuie, of
Toronto.
The final architect's plans
will be submitted to the hos-
pital services commission soon
after they are ready. Tenders
are expected to be called early
next year.

Colorblind
Pranksters ? ?
Pranksters appear to have
confused Christmas with Hal-
lowe'en in Bayfield. This year's
Christmas lights are more num-
erous than in previous years.
However, carefully chosen col-
our arrangements have been
upset by person or persons un-
known exchanging lights on
neighbouring premises—so that
multi-coloured displays have
turned into a single colour
overnight.
