"Organ donation is the ultimate ex-
ample of charity", gues( speaker Bill
Brady told the volunteers attending
the annual Appreeiation Dinner of the
Huron chapter of the OntarioHeart
and Stroke Foundation.
The well-known broadcaster. a
director of the Candian Heart and
Stroke Foundation, a member of the
executive committee of the John P.
Robarts Research Institute, and vice-
chairman of the board of directors of
University Hospital, related the story
behind the latest heart transplant at
University Hospital.

On October 18 a young girl -was pro-
nounced brain-dead after a rear -end
collision in Vancouver. Her family
asked the doctors what they could do
to ensure that their daughter's death
was not in vain.
Meanwhile, a 52 -year-old man had
been flown to London after a virus
had moved.to the wall of his heart,
causing ' ideopathic cardiac
myopathy. The man was slowly slip-
ping away.
A Challenger jet left Vancouver in

heart to London. At 10:00 a.m. the
Newfoundlander had a new lease on
life.
Before the funeral of the Vancouver
girl took place, her heart was beating
in another chest.
"The man will live to be a produc-
tive citizen, to see his children grow.
In Vancouver a little girl is gone, but
part of her lives on in someone else",
Brady said, adding that donating
one's organs after death is "a way of
becoming immortal".
Brady also mentioned some of the
research going on at the Robarts In -
stitute. The scientists are committed
to finding the answer to the
devastating effeets of the "long
nightmare" of Alzheimers, the killing
and maiming of diabetes melitis, the
genetic predispositon to strokes that
hit in mid-life, and other illnesses that
rob and destroy.
A recent grant from the National
Insitute of Health in Washington of
$16;5 million in American dollars will
be a big help in looking for those
answers. -
Brady, himself a stellar example of
someone who donates many hours to
causes he believes in, commended the
men and women who work for the
Ifeart and Stroke Foundation. He said
volunteers are "the heart and soul"
of the Foundation.
"Being a volunteer is painless, and
what you do comes back one hundred
fold", Brady said.
Incoming president Byron
"Barney" Goldsmith singled out
volunteer Don Young for special
praise. Young was one of two Ontario
residents to be honoured with a
distinguished service award for his
dedication to the Jump Rope for
Heart program.
Young in turn presented the
representatives from the F.E. Madill
Secondary School in Wingham with a
trophy, declaring thein the winners of
a challenge competition announced in
the fall of 1986. Over half the school's
population enrolled in the program.
Huron County continues to lead the
province in the percentage of secon-
dary schools taking part in the Jutnp

secretary Deborah Karcz-Howes,

previous year.

meeting of the Assocation of Counties
and Regions of Ontario, held in Lon-
don from October 18 to 20 and hosted

Education levies
The Town of Exeter will be
represented at a, meeting of Huron
county municipalities in Goderich on
November 4 to discuss information
from the town of Nepean regarding
education levies.
The print-out from Nepean in-
dicated Exeter was overcharged by
39.percent for education levy due to
a change in equalization factors by
the province.
Reeve Bill Mickle said this week, "i
don't understand it, but we will be at-
tending the meeting in Goderich. i
understand some Huron towns have
been overcharged by more, than we
have." -
Review grants
The executive committee of Exeter
council will be reviewing and -plann-
ing an approach to conditional and un-
conditional. grants which are
available from the province of
Ontario.
Reeve Bill Mickle said, "The pro-
blem we have in Exeter is that our in-
creases don't meet inflated costs
although the province maintains fun-
ding at an inflated rate. We have to
be equitable in relationship to other
municipalities." -
Mickle continued. "In -1985 Exeter
received $269 per household in grants.
Some other places in Huron got 20 to
25 percent more. The present system
is unfair.'
He added. "My personal opinion is
that council should take a serious look
at establishing a committee to review
all conditional grants that it is possi-
ble to get. That's when we could max-
imize our conditional grantpsage."
This year there are estimated to be
1,549 households in the town of
Exeter. •
ed $78.75 atter pleading guilty to a
charge of using licence plates issued
tor another vehicle. The fine was
more than the minimum because
Hart had been seen a second time us-
ing the -same plate.
A fine of $128 was levied against
Murray A. Pepper of RR 1. Hay for
failing to remain at the scene of an ac-
cident which occurred October 1 at
11:20 p.m. in Huron Park.
At that time a vehicle parked on the
roadside of St. Lawrence Avenue was
struck by a blue van that didn't stop.
Three days later police checked a van
that appeared to have fresh damage.
The accused admitted to the acci-
dent saying he left the scene because
he didn't feel much damage had been
done to either vehicle. Damage to the
other vehicle was set at -$1,200 and
that amount has been paid.
Fines of $53.75 and $35.25 will be
paid by Robert W. Crosby, RR 1
Londesboro for speeding and littering
the highway. -
Police clocked Crosby's vehicle at
101 kilometres in an 80 one on June
28 and an officer saw him t)trow
something from the vehicle.
Despite a not guilty plea, Donald
Lane Gollan, RR 2, Lucan was fined
$53.75 for entering property where
prohibited.
Gollan and a friend entered the
Albatross Tavern at Huron Park on
August 5 after being told by -a
bartender and police a couple of
months earlier that he was not to
come back.
The accused was mildly intoxicated
and wanted to go outside and fight. A
few patrons were going to assist in
evicting him so he left. Owner Jim
Parker called and eventuallytalked
to Exeter police.
Bartender Linda Downing was ask-
ed by Parker to verify Collan had
previously been told to never return
to the establishment.
Ivan P. Bedard, Hensall was fined
$109.50 for travelling at a speed of 127
kilometres in an 80 zone on -his motor-
cycleat :3.95 p. m. on September 23 on
Ilighway 4.
That night an officer using radar
heard the motorcycle approaching at
a high speed and locked it in at 132
kilometres per hour.
The 'officer made a U-turn and
followed the motorcycle through very
foggy conditions. He could hear the
bike and caught glimpse'; of the tail
' lights occasionally.
The accused was following a blue
pickup truck because in fog it's easier
for a motorcycle to follow a vehicle.
An officer up the road stopped the
truck, but let it go because he wanted
the motorcycle.
Bedard admitted he was speeding,
but not excessively.The officerset up
radar at the time and proved the
motorcycle's speedometer was off by.
22 kilometres per hour. He has
ordered a new on one, but it hasn't
arrived.

Time capsule
Continued from front page
Marian Bissett, from the Exeter and
District ileritage foundation.
The newspapers found in the box,
including two copies of the Exeter
Times, one Advocate, the London
Free Press, the London Advertiser,
and the Canadian Churchman, are in
excellent condition, but are readily
available on microfilm anyway. .
Unfortunately, the handwritten
documents which may include
biographies of the Thomas Trivitt
family and perhaps a list of those pre-
sent at the dedicatoin ceremony. have
been seriously damaged and will be
sent to Goderich for professional
treatment to salvage whatever might
be readable.
Nevertheless, it is the two posters
that have revealed some previously
unknown information about the
church's foundation. (inc is an invita-
tion to the dedication service and the
other to a concert and party at the
town roller rink.
"It was the first anyone knew there
was a party that evening," said
Vipperman.
"Tradition has it that we put hack
everything we find," said Vipperman,
but he hopes room can be made in the
cavity to accommodate another box
for a 1987 time capsule.
Vipperman would like to include in
the new capsule letters of greeting to
the next century and a statement of
the Trivitt Memorial's annual Ludget
along with a copy of. the Times -
Advocate and the Zurich Advance.
The papers will possibly be vacuum
packed or laminated to prevent
decay. Coins and bills with, of cours,
a new loon dollar, will also be
enclosed.
Anyone wishing to see or touch a
part of his or her church's history is
invited to examine the contents of the
time capsule before they are return-
ed to their hiding place for the next
century.
The best thing about the future is that
it comes only one day at a time.
