Hospital budget increases Alexandra Marine and General Hospital will be allowed base operating expenses of $4,618,430 by the Ontario Ministry of Health this year. That's an increase of 10.9 percent over last year's figure of $4,165,924. According to hospital administrator Elmer Taylor who announced the increase, all hospitals in Ontario got a 9.8 percent hike to offset expected wage set- tlements. Taylor said the Ministry has indicated that in- creases to staff must be held to 9.8 percent. Set- tlements over base would be handled as exceptional items and each hospital would have to make an ap- peal to the Ontario government for the extra funding. The administrator also explained that the extra funding over -budget granted to AM&G is to pay for increases in staffing as a_, result of workload in- creases. Workload at AM&G has been heavy, with the hospital consistently running over recommended safe guidelines. In February, the board learned Monday evening at its regular March meeting, the hospital operated at 97 percent occupancy. have we got a career for you If you are a young person looking for a promising career, perhaps you should consider physiotherapy. Alexandra . Marine and General Hospital board members learned Monday evening that although ads for a physiotherapist have appeared in several leading publications, there has been no response to the hospital's call for a physiotherapist. Goderich's chief physiotherapist, Mrs, Jenny Cummings, leaves April 3 for a similar position in Wingham. Administrator Elmer Taylor outlined a rather comical history of physiotherapist swapping in Huron and Perth hospitals. According to Taylor, hospitals here have stolen physiotherapists from each other so often, a complete switch -around has been made. There's now no choice for Goderich but to advertise outside the area. "It's maybe a little early yet to get concerned," said Taylor, "but we haven't'had any response so far to our advertising:" INSULATE YOUR ATTIC WITH FIBERGLAS SUPER PINK INSULATION For ©s low as VIA 00 We ASPEN INSULATION LTD. 524-4460 Drainage systems must function Tile drainage is . a , ma' around the outlet. and that • lor farm investment and to en- snow and runoff haven t sure niaximtrm returns, _shifted the drain outlet,_ . __ . farmers must keep systems .

"I like to see surpluses," said Dr. Michael Conlon, "but I hate to see unused surpluses." Dr. Conlon suggested the board look for some worthwhile project within the hospital to use up the money. Elmer Taylor cautioned against that. He called the $20,000 a "safe cushion" that would permit all year- end details to. be tidied up neatly, without much, money left over. The 1981-82 budget should be ready . for board perusal in time for its next meeting on April 27. -GARY HARRON YOUR OPCV CANDIDATE IN HURON -BRUCE would like to say THANK YO U to all the workers and all those who supported him during the campaign to help reduce a 9,800 vote difference last election to 224 votes on March 19. As I campaigned door to door, I was happy with the good reception and the kindness shown. Although disappointed with the loss in Huron -Bruce, I am basically pleased that Ontario has a majority government. In closing, if I can be of any assistance to the constituents of Huron -Bruce, please do not hesitate to call me. Yours Truly nary Harron McQuail pleased with NDP vote increase BY CATHY YORK A quiet crowd of about 10 loyal NDP sLpIU (6C(J turned out at tlNe United Autoworkers camp south of Port Elgin Thursday night to view the election returns with candidate Tony Mcquail. Arriving at the hall at about 9p.m., Mr. McQuail said he was pleased with' the returns which gave the NDP about 300 more votes than in 1977 and increased their popular vote to 7.6 percent from 6.6 per- cent in the last election: He received 1,989 votes in this election. "I thought we ran a good campaign and we're the only party to address the issues and to ask the voters to look at and support our individual policies, " he said. "The increase in the voteis better in each election and although it's a slow process we're making improvements," he added. Len Hope, the Port. Elgin co-ordinator for the NDP campaign said this was the most organized and largest campaign the NDP have run in Huron Bruce. "We went into the campaign without a riding association and ended up with well over 100 people working for us in the last two weeks," he said. "In terms of advertising, we have done more in the media than ever before and our door to door canvassing produced a lot of feedback from the residents" he added, Asked about the campaign in Huron l3rce,-- Kra_ McQuail said it was an. ex- cellent anil.clean. one by all three ties: He added that both the Tories and Liberals -seemed to shift their thinking at various all -candidate's meetings depending on which part of the riding they were in. "fin Port Elgin -both -Mr. Harron and -Mr. Elston were pushing the proposed waste steam project at the Bruce Nuclear Power::. Development while at an all -candidate's meeting in Lucknow, where the population is sceptical, they were all for further in- vestigation, a kill impact hearing and doubting if it would mix well with the established life in the riding," he said. While being interviewed on CKNX TV, former MPP Murray Guant said Mr. McQual`l ' was very bright and ran a good campaign. "He did well at the ,all -candidate's meetings and on the the campaign trail but unfortunately, he has been caught in the NDP downfall across the province," Gaunt said. Looking to the future,Mr. McQuail said it would be interesting to see what Premier Davis does during the next four years with a majority mandate. "He has made a lot of promises during the campaign and it will be interesting to see if they are carried out or if the Con- servatives continue with their patchwork approach to Ontario's problems," he said. Mr: McQuail added that the Con- servatives have not kept their promises in the past and will find it harder and harder to keep them in the future because Ontario is "facing some serious structural economic problems due to foreign in- vestment, an under developed economy, a continual exportation of raw materials and the buying of manufactured goods." Personally the NDP candidate said he would cons'der running again in the next election but the decision would depend on persoali situaiion atthe time, "I believe in what the party stands for in its policies and I would probably run again. Between now and the next election the NDP in Huron Bruce intend to build up their riding. association ..and make .the. public more aware of issues . and the, in- dividual policies of each party," He said. • Test new plants Plant breeders are always looking for new plant varieties that can survive the rigors of an Ontario winter. At the Horticultural Research Institute of On- tario in Vineland, resear- chers are testing a promis- ing new rhododendron:. Rhododendrons are broad - leafed evergreen shrubs'that present long-lasting flowers each spring. They are at their best in the mild, humid climate and native acid soil of the west coast but the development of new cultivars is opening up new ground.
