They are Ulric Snell, Ben Tuckey and Ivan Kalbfleisch. All three joined the board in it's foundation in 1953, and have served on various committees ever since.All played a part in the building of the hospital. Ulric Snell was a member of the property committee in 1952 when building started. He said the committee saved about $120,000 from the lowest tender by not hiring a contractor to do the work. Some of the work was done by volunteer labor and a foreman lookedafter the building •of the hospital. The foreman was Helge Jensen. Snell said he spent about 90 percent of his time at the hospital once the work started. Con- struction projects completed while he was a board member were the main section, the wings and the kitchen, and several additions. It is also the opinion of Snell that municipal tax money could be saved again, if the present proposed hospital renovations were to be done by volunteer labor. But he doesn't think it is really possible, because of trade unions. Ben Tuckey was a member of the first official hospital board. "I was on the committee that built the place," he said. He also stated he has been on all the board's committees at one time or another, and on some of them two or three times. Both Snell and Tuckey remembered the Saturday night meetings of the committees before and after construction. Tuckey said those meetings went on for over two years. It was the opinion of Tuckey that hospital boards are not what they used to be. "Hospital boards are a rubber stamp," he said. He also noted that the government changes the board's desires so often, and tells them to cut back and reduce spending, that they are of little function. The third charter member, Ivan Kalbfleisch, could not be reached for comment. However, it was learned he was a member FERTILIZERS LWhen you get in a hurry this Spring, Remember the plant that is stocked .and equipped, to Toad you in a hurry.

SAO Iwo Omar. 333 1331 Take steps towards joint health council The Huron County Board of Health received permission at last Thursday's general meeting of county council to make ap- pointments to a Huron Perth Steering Committee, the first step toward a Huron -Perth District Health Council. The possibility of a joint health council has been under discussion for sometime between Huron and Perth. On the steering committee from Huron County will be the chairman of the Health Unit Board, one representative of the medical society, one represen- tative of the Hospital Planning council, one representative of consumer or voluntary organization and one other representative. Perth County will have the same number of representatives. The warden and the medical officer of health from both counties will be ex officio members of the steering com- mittee. "This is an important aspect of promotion of health in Huron," said Reeve E. W. Oddleifson, chairman of the Huron County Board of Health. Reeve Oddleifson said Huron has met twice with Perth County to discuss the possibility of a Health Council. He said that while the appointment of a steering committee doesn't "commit this county to anything," the minister of health for Ontario is "very favorably inclined"toward some agreement between Huron and Perth where health matters are concerned. MOH Dr. Frank Mills said that after the steering committee has met with both Huron and Perth Health Units, names would be submitted to the Minister of Health for membership on a joint District Health Council. The minister of health reserves the right to either accept or reject the recommendation of the steering committee as to the composition of the Health Council. "It is an important step to get people to sit down and talk about health care services," said Dr. Mills. Ile mentioned it would be the committee's duty to make recommendations or proposals for improving health sevices in Huron and Perth, and about such things as costly duplication of services. Some skepticism was evident in the council chambers, Warden Anson McKinley warned this was an untried venture. "We do not know what tiuthority the ministry will give to these health councils," said the warden. "We're going into what is an unknown. I only hope it doesn't start the bureaucratic structure of the Mustard Report." Warden McKinley told council it is safe to assume that the health council would cover a much wider area of health ser- vices than the present county health units. Reeve Stan Profit of Goderich said his greatest fear was that the ministry of health would not accept the reasons recommended by the steering committee to a health council for Huron and Perth. Reeve Profit expressed further apprehension by reviewing some of the points in the controversial Mustard Report, adding that health councils could be the first step toward implementing the O'Driscoll. Damages were listed at $650 Monday when vehicles driven by Kenneth Cornish, RR 4, Strat- ford and Charles Sreenan,RR 2, Zurich were in collision on Main street south of the bridge.Con- stable Alex Balazs investigated. * Sunset Travel Trailers * Corsair (By Bendix) Travel Trailers * Champion Motor Homes • SALES • SERVICE • RENTALS Graham Arthur Motors Exeter 235-1373 Mustard Report. Dr. Mills indicated that by studying the possibility of a Health Council for the district, there was no reason to assume the rest of the Mustard Report would also be implemented. In fact, Dr. Mills said that the concept of a Health Council for Huron -Perth was envisioned by Huron's county representatives prior to the Mustard Report. Dr. Mills said it was still not clear how members of future health councils would be named, but he suggested their representatives could be elected. He said Health Councils could function similarly to county school boards. Special activities for police week Special activities are being planned by the Exeter police department to observe Police Week the week of May 11 to 17. One of the features will be selection of the "Safe driver of the week". Police will be ob- serving motorists and the one showing extreme caution, courtesy and obeying the rules of the road will be given a special award. In the same regard, a bicycle safety campaign will be un- derway. T shirts will be given to the youngsters selected. They will be judged on safety rules, using proper hand signals, arriving on the correct side of the street, stopping at stop signs and in general driving their bicycles in a proper manner. Police will also be checking at traffic lights and at the school crossings to see if all children are crossing the intersections in the proper manner. A bicycle rodeo will be held at the Exeter arena on Saturday, May 17 for all bicycle riders in Exeter and area. Trophies will be awarded to the winners. The bicycle rodeo will be a combined effort of the Exeter Kinsmen club and the Exeter police department.
