local time, year round, except in northern
Ontario districts.
• The period between the issue of the write
and polling day is reduced from 37 days to 30
days, but nomination day will remain 14
days before polling day. Apparently this is
to allow for a shorter election period.
There are to be three significant changes
in the nomination process. A reduction from
100 to 25 in the number of signatures re-
quired for nomination is the first change.
The second change is the requirement for
the first time of a deposit of $200 and the re-
quirement of a statement of having filed and
finally an undertaking to file for registration
with the commission and election contribu-
tions and expenses from each candidate.

Goderich has first baby in area
GODERICH - For the second year in a
row, Goderich's first baby of the new year
also holds the honor of being the first born in
mid -western Ontario.
This year's double title eoes to little An-
drea Danielle Carpenter who was delivered
by Dr. David Walker at.Alexandra Marine
and General Hospital at 3:27 a.m. on Jan. 1.
She entered the world at a healthy seven
pounds 12 ounces.
A further change removes the term
`British Subject' as a voter qualification
after July 1, 1986, when terminology, similar
to the federal and most provincial election
acts, will be changed to `Canadian citizen-
ship'. The -residence requirement-is,changed-
from 12 months to six months residence in
the province, at the same time.
In a letter sent to all newspapers in the
Huron -Bruce area, Murray Elston, the
Huron -Bruce PP wrote, "I thing it is
noteworthy that Ontario will follow the lead
of the federal government and a number of
other provinces in Canada, in limiting.,
voting rights in the provincial election to
those who are Canadian citizens, after July
1,1986."

Better communication
urged between groups
Administrative differences between the
Victorian Order of Nurses (VON) and the
Huron County Health Unit's home care pro-
gram are expected to be ironed out through
discussions.
Huron's medical officer of health, Dr.
Harry Cieslarr, said the major problem is
one of communication, but that it can be rec-
tified.
Dr. Cieslar reported to Huron County
council's Jan. 5 meeting that home care has

The board of health's report to county
council on the situation caused council to go
into committee -of -the -whole for over an
hour at the Jan. 5 meeting.
At the reopening of the session, it was an-
nounced that the statement "the delivery of
services in quality and quantity has not been
acceptable to the Health Unit", was taken
out of the . report before being approved by
county council.
It was noted that as the majority of the
health- unit's.- funding- • comes:.: _from. the
Ministry of Health, county council has no
jurisdiction over the, Board of Health, ex-
cept that the majority of the board members
are county councillors. Therefore copnty
council could not approve or disapprove of
the board of health's decisions.

the organization" in reference to the VON.
He said itis a "good organization".
