Mrs. Blake's collectables...

porated into the design of the thimble, mak-
ing them a perfect collectable. Some com-
panies are now coming outwith series of col-
lector thimbles, much in the same manner
as Royal Doulton collectables. However,
Mrs. Blake prefers not to get them in this
manner.
Robbie Burns
The first thimble she remembers getting
was one her uncle brought back from a trip
to Scotland in 1929. The thimble had
originally come from Robbie Burns' house
in Scotland. On the little wooden box which
holds the thimble is a poem written by Rob-
bie Burns entitled Tam O'Shanter and
Souter Johnnie. •
Her favorite thimble, however, is one she
received from her uncle Eugene after the
death of her aunt. The thimble comes
enclosed in a small sterling silver box.
The thimbles are made from everything
from leather to gold. One thimble made
from china serves as the chimney on a
wishing well pin cushion holder.
Rare Thimbles
The more unusual and rare thimbles in
her cushion are ones that contain thread cut-
ters. She says most thimbles don't have this
attachment. These were given to her by her
mother.
Another of her unusual thimbles is the
tailor's thimble. She says these are unusual
FEATURE
as they are without a top. She has two of this
variety.
Some of the thimbles exhibit art work
engraved in them. One has flowers painted
on it using an art form called cloisonne, a
method of producing designs in enamel,
while others have been hand painted.
The majority of her thimbles have been
brought from all over the world from such
places as England and Australia. One of her
favorites is one she received from Mrs.
Louise Anderson, a former resident of
Dungannon. This thimble was brought back.
from Ireland.
Mrs. Blake says the box in which she
stores the thimbles is an antique coming
from a print shop. These boxes were once
,used to store metal letters used for printing.
She says she will continue to add to her
collection over the ext few years. As a
result of showing cher collection at the tea
last week, she reeeived three more thimbles
to add to her collection.

any direct contact with the board; meaning
board members might never hear about
problems affecting the quality of service.
• Pointing out that the board -holds the
ultimate responsiblity for making sure the
hospital delivers high quality health care,
Nancy Exel said it should have a represent-
ative on the committee. This view point
was strongly supported by John Schenk,
Hans Kuyvenhoven and Patricia Bailey,
who has replaced William Harris as the
Wingham council representative.
It was opposed, however, by Adminis-
trator Norman Hayes and by Dr. Brian
Hanlon, the hospital's chief of staff and
board vice chairman, who argued that the
quality appraisal committee is supposed to
be only an in-house body, reviewing how
well various departments are doing what
Work crews needed.
for tornado area
Ashfield Action Committee is seeking
work crews for clean-up duties in the Well-
ington County Tornado disaster area,
Orangeville and Grand Valley. A bus will be
leaving Montgomery Motors at 7 a.m. on
Monday, June 10 and St. Helens at 7:15

they are supposed to, and would not work
with a board member on. it.
A third point of view came from Dr.
Walter Wong, who said creating the
committee would cause nothing by grief. If
it is made powerless, as proposed, its
members will 'be frustrated at their
inability to force what they see as
necessary changes, he said, while if it is
given teeth by being allowed to report
directly to the board it will become all
powerful and not even the board will dare
to go against its recommendations.
"You are creating a very dangerous
dragon which is going to consume all of
you," he warned, "and when I'm dead and
gone you will remember I said' it!",
After a lengthy discussion the matter
was sent back to the joint conference
committee for a re-evaluation of the
proposed committee's membership and
reporting function.
As currently proposed, the quality
appraisal committee would be made up of
doctor§, heads of departments and hospital
staff as well as the administrator.
Booze and boating are a deadly mix. The
Red Cross reminds you that drinking and
driving a boat is dangerous and illegal. A
boater who has been drinking is a threat to
the life of anyone on the boat and everyone
else on the lake. If you drink alchohol don't
mix it with water activities.
Hydro preferences due July 8
Ontario Hydro repeatedly emphasized
its preference for two 500kV single circuit
transmission lines out of the Bruce Nuclear
Development at a meeting on May 11 in
London.
° This was the last in. a series of interest
group review meetings arranged by
Ontario Hydro planners and engineers to
promote dialogue with agricultural and
other related organizations on the propos-
ed Mi transmission system. " •
Although it was anticipated that the
specific routes would be announced at this
meeting, none were forthcoming, but
Ontario Hydro indicated that it will make
known its preferences on July 8. They will
file their environmental assessment report
with the Ministry of the Environment on
August 1, and the earliest possible date for
commencement of public hearings would
be November.
The above/ meeting was discussefl when
the Foodland Hydro committee met on
Thursday, May 16 at Centralia College. In
his opening remarks, chairman Tony
McQuail, commented on the overwhelming
response and generous financial support of
citizens . from the townships along the
proposed hydro routes. In addition, he.
emphasized the tremendous amount of
work ahead and urged members to
continue writing to the chairman of Ontario.
Hydro, Tom Campbell, expressing their
opposition to the proposed M1'transmis-
sion routes.
Committee chairmen reported on their
progress during the past month. Frank
,Vanneste,- chairman of the membership
committee, remarked that spring planting
had slowed canvassing iii the townships
out added that he is optimistic that it will
pick up again in the next few weeks.
Finance committee chairman, Evert
Ridder, stated that term deposits are being
used to obtain the best interest rates for
the donated funds: On going canvassing
ensures that funds are still being received.
Mr. Bidder also requested each committee
to submit a budget proposal at the next
meeting.
Bill Muchan reported on the public
relations committee activities. He stressed
that the most important task of his commit-
tee is to keep the members of the
organization informed by newsletters and
the media. The second objective is to
enlighten the general public of the
proposed misuse of their. foodland.
Co-operation has been shown by the
weekly media and some farm newspapers. -
W eekly media releases have been issued
and presentations made to some municipal.

sions. Radio interviews have been aired
and Inquiry is slated for broadcast on May

The activities of the legal liaison com-
mittee were reported by its chairman, Ken
McGregor. Earl Cherniak, Q.C. and his
assistant Peter Kryworuk, have been
retained as legal counsel. They, along with
executive members of Foodland Hydro,
have requested a meeting with Ontario
Hydro chairman, Tom. Campbell, and .his
associates to introduce their brganization.
This committee is also contacting expert
witnesses who could testify on the organ-
ization's" behalf at public hearings.

attended the meeting considered ongoing
strategy, and township delegates relayed
membership feedback. The next Fbodland
Hydro meeting is slated for June 19.
