Jack Riddell doesn't think so. The court ruled Monday that under the Public Hospitals Act the cabinet Could not close hospitals by-Order-in-council and this means hospitals in Clinton, Chesley; Durham and Toronto can remain open temporarily at least. The government has stated that it will appeal the decision, but if it Preserving the present style of Hensall residents and yet, at the same time allowing for orderly growth for the village is the problem facing the planning committee of that municipality. H ousing and parks are meaningful elements in developing this plan and must vary to suit the individual needs of the population in • price, appearance and size. In the Hensall area 32% of the total acreage is now in residential use, 80% of that area supports single-family dwellings, 3% own mobile liomes, 2% live in flats above businesses and • 12% consists of rental accommodation, 54% of which is contained in two apartment buildings. Under construction are 72 apartments, with a further 18 planned. The village of Hensall is well equipped with park land, 8 acres being available in the Community Park and 10 acres at the Public ,School. These offer both scenic playgrounds and organized sport -as well as picnic and camping facilities. These were the facts presented by Paul Neilands. In the discussion that followed, led by Roman Dzus, Assistant County Planner, several needs were explored. Making available ,homes for workers and 'the needs of Senior citizens are the most important fauttr*jkwas felt/ Such building lots as 'already exist in Hensall are not being made available to buyers.; a residential subdivision may be the answer.

Chesley Hospital which has already been closed has decided to reopen and start rehiring staff that was dismissed because of the closing. The government may have the option of curtaililng hospital •operations by° cutting off funds without issuing a closing order. However since health costs are shared with the federal government this may not be possible. "Seymour Student," the cartoon strip starting in this issue was drawn by John Latham, 16, a grade 12 student at South. Huron High School. John has been cartooning since he was eight years old. His cartoons have appeared in various places in the Exeter area since he 'moved from London about 6 months ago. John says cartooning comes fairly easy to him. He can turn out a strip in as little as 10 minutes, although a problem can cost him many copies and hours of work. John started work on this strip at the request of Jim Barnes, the co-ordinator of the Manpower Centre for Students in Goderich. -Jim---says---he-- was-looking-for°. a- cartoonist and Mr. Lawton, the head of Guidance at South Huron High School suggested John. Mr. Barnes says he was immediately impressed with the quality of John's work. He says he' hopes this strip will draw attention to the very real need students have for summer work. Cartoonist lustrates- students need jobs You can't help bu .snake Obt: mistakes in this business. There's the pressure of several different deadlines. We're dealing with all sorts of people with their own wants and deadlines and sometimes we misinterpret or make a boo boo in our efforts to get this paper out on time. We strive for accuracy but news and information for the Expositor goes through so many hands (and is written in so many styles of handwriting) that sins of omission are bound to occur. Now 'every business makes mistakes. The only thing is that° eve rybody who reads the paper setts our while you can hide yours, or try to. Everybody who -reads "You're Invited" got a real eyeful Iast'wek week and they haven't heard the half of it yet. Not only did we print an invitation to an event that was over a3yeek ago, we failed to print notices of four different meetings that are being held this week. Now several organizations in town are mad at us and I don't blame them a bit. I put page three together last week and in quite a hurry packed as much into it as I could. Space was at a premium last week so l' wasn't really looking for any more news. But that doesn't excuse the fact that I didn't even look in the page three You'll always find great values at box, where four contributions to You're Invited were pitting. "Make up the page out of the box", is what I am always• telling everyone in layout. An apology isn't much good Jo. the organizations who---•were- counting on the publicity from "You're Invited" to let people know about their meetings. But I apologize anyway to those who subinitted items from the Hospital Auxiliary, the Horti- cultural Society, the Women's Institute and Edelweiss Rebekah Lodge. The fear of leaving something that 'has •to run in a specific issue out of the paper is one that wakes newspaper people up out of a sound sleep in the middle of the night. Once in awhile it happens. Other times we have to leave stories over for another week because we just don't have room for them...but• that's a conscious decision, not a mistake. We hope the organizations will give us another chance and keep using "You're invited"; the fact that we had so many comments on our error last week indicates that it is widely, read. This seems to be our week for apoligizing for mistakes. While we're at it we want to clear up a misunderstanding that left some of our hard working volunteer off at the. street leveL Chief Bailey said; Union 94s :1,0. ockin Might not heat officially that the gas was .turned off this early for some time, until they get a rpport of it -r It was at 1? whq we ,fitlat/Y got tough w.

"It was a misunderstanding and these things happen", the .fire chief said when we apoligized for not getting his version sooner. The important thing is that the record is set straight. A line left out of a story on cable TV in Seaforth in last week's Expositor gave the impression that channel 8, as well as channel 7, would be coming from Buffalo. Channel 8 cable will of course continue to be CKNX from Wingham. The Expositor apologizes for the error. fails to have the decision reversed it will have to bring in legislation to close the hospitals. Both the Liberals and the N.D.P. say •they will oppose such legislation and this would mean a defeat of the .minority Conservative Government. It all depends on what Premier 'Davis decides," said Riddell. 'I don't think we *will have .an election, but the Liberal party will oppose any legislation brought •in to close them." Clinton Hospital despite the government order to close, has to install a fence, part privacy and part chain link, between their Chalk St. house and the new parking' lot which the town has developed on curling club property next door. Mr. Newnham told councillors he was willing to help pay for the fence. He said the parking lot had in efect opened his lot up to the public and that there had been problems with noise and with !eople driving on his property. Councillors left the matter with arena committee head Councillor Bill Bennett to work but costs of putting up a fence along the edge property. , It was generally agreed that the amount of park space in Hensall was more than , adequate but largely inaccessable for small children. Suggested was small playlots on corners of residential areas. Annexation, or not, was the topic 'chaired by Murray Baker later in the evenipg. The limited supply of baildini lots was stressed, both residential and commercial. Both are already expanding into surrounding townships. By not expanding, we can preserve the present life-style, but would this lead to slow death of the community? There are both advantages and disadvantages in expanding. On the positive side industrial and commercial growth provide more jobs and more taxes and acts as insurance against the 'possibility of any certain industry "pulling out". Again, more, diversified goods and se rvices can be offered to the residents. Negataively, growth calls for expanded municipal services such avtOwage, water, storm sewers, school, libraries, fire protection and others. The character of the community could also change with the influx of the' • new Fpulation. in4,5.,spite• of 'these •facts;; the approximately' 60 people" at the meeting felt that Hensall should go ahead and plan for annexation, but that the growth must be orderly and efforts made to keep the present assessment balance, (Continued from Page 1) , be moved, we can grow them faster than we can grow trees:: Mayor Cardno said, only half joking. "The tree is 100 years old," Deputy' Reeve Bill Dale said. Mayor Cardno and other coun- cillors agreed to have a look at the tree and the driveway before their .next council meeting. "There's not one of us who'd put up with it at the end of our own driveways", Councillor Sinnamon commento-,I as the discussion ended. A second delegation, Bob and Vivienne Newnham asked council firemen justifiably upset, The EXpOsit9t - St9r3r_,P4 the truck crashing into the rrieegard store said that gas to the bullflIng was not shut off Until 3:30 in .the afternoon. We got that information from 4kl-Mifflin, ,area supervisor for Union Gas in London. We also quoted Mr. Mifflin as saying there was a potential danger, af the.gas had been trapped in a 'pocket somewhere. And the reason we talked to London was because people at the Union Gas.area office inGoderich, whom we contacted first, said• they could give us no information. They told us to call London. Well, Union Gas in London, still didn't know about it last week when we rechecked with Mr. Mifflin but Seaforth Area Fire Chief Don H ulley tells us that Seaforth firemen shut gas meters off in the basement of the building a half hopr after they arrived at the accident scene. He said ' those in charge at the accident perhaps should have notified Union Gas officially, but "We weren't interested in whether head office knew or not: we • just wanted to get the gas off," Chief' Hulley. said. About 7:30 in the mor.ing Union Gas employee Don Pettaplace of Clinton shut the gas Henson planning meeting wants orderly annexation of the parking lot. COuncillor Wayne Ellis suggested that access to the parking lot could' be closed off with a chain and lock when it 'wasn't needed.
