There are, however, occasions when this is not possible and yet we would like to publicly express thanks for such donations. The hospital has received a.11,000 donation from the South Huron Phea- sant Association. This donation comes as a result of Mr. Neil Romphf and Mr. Dale Passmore's efforts and commune mindedness. I wo like to .thank both Mr. Romph and Mr. Passmore for keep- ing their hospital in mind and helping our equipment fund with this donation. Respectfully, Donald S. Currell Administrator The Hon Jack Riddell MPP Minister of Agriculture Dear Jack, During our conversation of November 1, 1986, you reassured me that Bills 45 and 46 were enacted by the Minister of Health, the Hon. Mur- ray Elston, in the best interests of Pharmacy, especially the small operator. You used the words "gross- ly exaggerated" and "totally un- founded" to allay my greatest fears. In light of this, I would be grateful if you would explain why A - I must absorb losses of up to eighty per cent on many drugs in my inventory. • B - Install a computer costing in ex- cess of $20,000 in order to keep track of my losses and also, to issue receipts to people who do not pay for their prescriptions (senior citizens etc. ) knowing that such receipts are inac- curate or false. The reason for this, I suspect, is to enhance the chances of • the Ontario liberal party at the next election. Yours sincerely J. Trevor Wilson Huron Apothecary Ltd. Exeter 4 To the editor. I was shocked and dismayed to realize that you could diminish the dignity of dieing so callously on the front page of your paper last week. Pretty cheap journalism in my hook bordering on slanderous com- ments printed posthumously. I sincerely hope that the author of the article is perfect right to the grave or his epitaph may be marred by the apathetic media or yellow journalism.

Anyone who -read the coverage of our 35th anniversary will know we have lived up to our obligations. ' • It is only through the support of our community that we can continue to meet our obligations. Help make our bingo a success in 1987. Thank you for allowing me the op- portunity to express my views. Sincerely, Barbara Hearn Dear Sir:* I am a teacher at South Huron District High School and a resident of Stephen Township in Huron County. I am objecting to a proposal by the Huron County Council to have a Private Member's Bill passed (Coun- ty of Huron Act Pr. 7 - a bill to dissolve the Huron County Library Board and make the library board a committee of council). I feel that it would not be in the best interests of the county's residents for the bill to be passed for the following reasons: 1. The Provincial Library Services in the past have served the com- munities of Ontario very well and library boards made. up of private citizens have been quite effective in the past. 2. The Public Libraries Act, 1984 provides for many checks and balances on the library board and in our case Huron County council has a majority on the present library board of 4 to 3. 3. The Library Board is financially accountable to the county council. 4. A library board should be able to operate effectively in a county without being subjected to occasional political pressures from certain in- terest,,oi pre4litgegroups. 5. The Public L,Jraries Act, 1984 seems to be serving the needs of towns, cities, townships and counties in the rest of the province. Why is the present act not suitable for Huron? 6. It seems that dangerous precedents are being set if this bill is passed. This could lead to a private member's bill for every municipali- ty in the province which is unable to make its library board work accor- ding to the legislation in the Public Libraries Act, 1984. 7. By legislation library board meetings are open to the public. If the board becomes a committee of coun- ty council there is nothing to prevent the council from declaring each meeting as an in camera meeting. 8. The solicitor for the county has stated that the bill's passage would result in only "cosmetic changes" to the library board. If this is the case then I must ask why the present Public Libraries Act is not satisfac- tory for Huron County. In conclusion, I would like to say that we in Huron are proud of our iir li 1, (i Hopper. Hockey 355 Main St., county's library system and hope that nothing will be done which would be harmful to our present good system. Yours sincerely, W.
