These events include a 4-H dance on July 4, J baseball tournament and dance on August 8 and bus trips planned for July 1 and 29. More details will be announced on these later. Although the sset or not? pigs on decks need a constant temperature of at least 80°F. (26.6°C). Even in a well insulated barn, this takes a lot of additional heat. For example, most success­ ful producers feel that the inlet air for a weaner room should be drawn from a preheated area such as a hallway or heated feed room. Normally this air should be heated to approximately 65°F ^18°C) before it enters the weaner room. Of course, this inlet air tempera­ ture will vary depending on the number of pigs in the room, size of pigs, amount of insulation etc. Flowing through eternity, Everlasting peace.

CAMERAMAN by Amber Gelwicks On Wednesday, April 27, Dave Bieman, Media Co-ordinator came to Blyth Public School to talk to the Grades5,6and 7 about cameras and how to use them. The reason he came was to prepare these grades for a trip to the Metro Toronto Zoo when they will be working with cameras and taking pictures of the animals there. We were divided into groups, an adult with each group. We went all over town taking pictures using the techniques described in a film Mr. Bieman showed us. The groups’ pictures will be put together and the best group will be taking slides at the Zoo. These slides will be used in a slide-tape presentation made by the students to be shown at the Award’s Assembly in June. Hospital Board chairman pays tribute to long-serving members Mary Lou Thompson, chairman of the board of governors at the Wingham and District Hospital, paid tribute to two retiring mem­ bers of the board at its May meeting last Thursday evening. Robert Pike and Hans Kuyven- hoven, two long-serving and (distinguished members, are leav­ ing the board at the end of June. Mr. Pike currently is chairman of the finance and audit committee, while Mr. Kuyvenhoven is a former board chairman. Mrs. Thompson saluted the contribu- ion of both men to the hospital board and their many years of dedication to quality health care in the community. Mr. Kuyvenhoven was Turn­ berry Township’s representative for a number of years, while Mr. Pike was appointed by the County of Huron. Turnberry has nominat­ ed Doris Inglis to the position, which will be voted upon at the June 18 annual meeting. In a telephone interview last Friday morning, Huron County Deputy Clerk-Treasurer W. R. Alcock, said Les Tervit of Gorrie has been appointed to take Mr. Pike’s place, but it must be voted on by county council this Thursday at its June meeting. At last week’s hospital board meeting, Dr. Brian Hanlon asked why the county has a representa­ tive on the Wingham board since it does not contribute toward the hospital on a yearly basis. While it is true the county is not providing funding to the hospital this year, said Mr. Pike, it certainly has in the past. It is the county’s practice to contribute toward capital projects and when the new emergency wing was added to the Wingham hospital two years ago, the county contributed almost $100,000. This year the county is contribut­ ing toward a long-overdue project at the Seaforth hospital, he said, as well as to the Goderich hospital. In addition to reporting to county council on a yearly basis, Mr. Pike said county hospital board repre­ sentatives meet regularly to dis­ cuss trends and directions in health care.
