Clinton News-Record, 1985-5-29, Page 9Page 8--CLINTON NEWS RECORD, WEDNESDAY, MAY 29,198 Lean tiines as reserves drained WINGHAM - After several years of operating with hundreds of ,IlousariI. of dollars in its cash reserves, leaner times lie ahead for the Wingham and District Hospital. According to the auditor's report presented to the hospital board, completion of the new emergency and out-patient wing and the already -approved purchase of a new X-ray machine will virtilally use up the reserves during the coming year. "You're not unhealthy, but you're certainly not as healthy as you have been,' auditor Bob Simpson from Thorne Riddell told the board, in response to a question from Dr. Walter Wong. Asked if the hospital is. in a "very healthy or unhealthy position", Mr. Simpson responded that with the spending the board has planned, finishing the addition and buying radiology equipment, "I would say neither; ( you're) right in the middle." He noted that while the hospital still has considerable money on hand, both from its own accumulated surpluses and from the fund-raising campaign, it is committed to spending almost $1 million during the current year, which will use up the surplus cash. Then it will have to operate day-to-day on its funding from the Health Ministry. Candidates were polled by pro -lifers WINGHAM - Members of the Wingham and area pro-life group are still travelling regularly to Toronto to protest the continued operation of the Morgentaler abortion clinic. During the election campaign, the na- tional pro-life organization, Campaign Life, conducted a survey of the candidates' posi- tions on the issue of abortion clinics. The questionnaire asked the candidates: "Are you opposed to the establishment of Morgentaler abortion clinics throughout On- tario?" Campaign Life reported that of 217 can- didates canvassed, 179 answered that they were opposed to the clinics. "The results of this survey," said Campaign Life President Jim Hughes, "show that the overwhelming majority of Ontarians are opposed to abortion -on -demand and to • abortion clinics." This is in conformity with recent polls, both Canadian and A merican. Wingham Voice for Life was pleased at the number of people (approximately 150) attending the annual dinner, held this year at St. Andrew's P�rresbyterian Church. Mr. Hughes' speech,' invited everyone to take an active role in combating abortion rather than bemoan the great number of abortions performed every day in this country, the. opening of abortion clinics and the widespread lack of respect for life. Some members of the group attended the • Walkerton Pro -Life annual dinner, held on May 7. For the immediate future, important projects include a garage and bake sale, to be held on Friday, June 28, at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Harry Sjaarda and another Walkathon in September. All those interested in pit -Life work were reminded that an organization called "Bir- , thr'ight", which exists in many countries of the world, assists and counsels distressed women. A chapter of Birthright is located in Wingham. Chapters closest to Wingham ex- ist in London, Stratford and Goderich. WI holds e memorium However, in response to a question from board member Nancy Exel, Mr. Simpson said that sho d not necessarily be a problem. Hospital Administrator Norman Hayes said that if the hospital tried to pay cash for the radiology equipment, which will cost more than $300,00Q,, it would have a problem with cash flow, "ho doubt about it", and would probably have to borrow money. Responding to a follow-up question from Mrs. Exel, he promised to bring a proposal for funding the radiology .Iuipment to the finance committee. Board member Hans Kuyvenhoven noted that spending its reserves means the hospital will also lose about $110,000 in interest income, and he asked whether there would also be a loss of income in other areas. Treasurer Gordon Baxter said he did not know yet. owever he pointed out that the hospital still expects to receive about $100,000 this year from its fund-raising campaign for the new wing. The board was told that to date the campaign has raised more than $316,000 in cash and pledges toward its goal off $400,000. It also was told that campaign expenses to date have been slightly over $9,000, which Mr. Hayes said is fairly respectable considering that expenses for a major campaign are generally expected to run at between 10 and 15 per cent of the money raised. Those expenses do not include the hospital lottery, which has higher costs because of the prizes given away.

Dig up a vigorous clump of rhubarb right now and leave the clump sitting on top of the ground. In late January, bring the clump into the basement or a cool storage area. The temperature should be about 10 degrees Celsius. Keep the clump moist, and in a few short weeks, you'll be harvesting fresh rhubarb. Mrs. Tom Haggitt introduced the guest speaker Elizabeth Willmot-Kettlewell of Clinton, author of two books "Meet me at the station" and "Faces and Places Along the Railway." She displayed a large framed picture of the "Old furniture store in Auburn." The store sits on the main street, boarded up now. She showed most of her slides from her se- cond book and told stories about the old sta- tions and the people operating them. Many, trains were given nick -names such as the "butter and egg special" that ran from Wingham to London. June Peck thanked Mrs. Kettlewell and presented her with an Auburn History Book and honorarium. After 43 years, Harold Frernlin retired on May 17 from the Sherlock Manning Piano Fac- tory.
