Clinton Hospital remains
open to serve public
Clinton Hospital may be
getting a permanent
reprieve, in what is viewed as
a major reversal in
Provincial Government
policy, Health Minister
Dennis Trimbrell announced
Tuesday.
Clinton, along with
hospitals in Durham,
Chesley, and Doctor's
Hospital in Toronto will not be
closed by the government
after all, following a year-
long struggle by the hospitals
to stay open.
The four hospitals had been
ordered to close in February
of 1976, but through a series of
court battles, have all
remained open.
Former Health Minister
Frank Miller had visited
Clinton in February 1976 and
ordered the hospital closed,
but a . strong protest was
mounted by the community
and a court battle ensued with
the Divisional Court of
Ontario ruling last May that
the government couldn't
legally close hospitals with
order council,
The government has since
appealed the decision and
another hearing with •the
Supreme Court is scheduled
to start this coming May 2..
Mr. Timbrell said that
even though the hospitals
won't be closed, the gover-
nment still intends to proceed
witl3 the court battle to win
the right to close hospitals, if •
they wish.
The announced reprieve
was made in the legislature,
but Mr. Trimbrell said the
ministry would be conducting
bed studies in Huron and
Perth Counties, so local of:
ficials aren't sure they're
completely off the hook yet,
Reaction in Clinton Wed-
nesday morning to the an-
nouncement was one of
pleasure and happiness.
Beecher Menzies, chair-
man of the Clinton Public
Hospital board, said he was
"very pleased and
exhilarated to receive the
news".

closing) had a significant
influence in reversing the
government's stand," Mr,
Menzies said of the strong
protest mounted in Clinton by
the citizens and the Save Our
Hospital Action Committee.
Douglas Coventry, Clinton
hospital administrator, said
he suspected for a long time
that the government was
trying to back down,
especially when they
removed Frank Miller from
the ministry.
"The staff is very op-
timistic," Coventry said,
"although morale hasn't
really been a problem."
At a press conference in
Toronto, Health Minister
Timbrellconfirmed
Coventry's suspicions when
he said: "There are not now,
nor have there been any
orders issued by me (for
closings) hanging over those
"hospitals."
Clinton Mayor Harold Lobb
said he was "very pleased
that they (the government)
have changed their minds."
"I think the bad winter
maybe had something to do
with it," Lobb said.
"I•don't think they'll bother
us again unless we get out of
line (o'n operating ex-
penses)," Lobb added.
"We went along with them
and cut our, expenses," he
said.
Timbrell sat; the gover-
nment would continue to
pursue the court case on _
hospital closings "to settle
the questions of principle
concerning the ability of the
ministry to close facilities it
cannot finance."
Once in a Life T me
Government statistics
indicate that belt -wearing
decreased substantially
during the latter part of 1976.
Why should a driver who
hasn't had an accident in 20
years be bothered with safety
belts? That's a good question.
Here's a good answer from
the Ontario Safety League.
Four out of five drivers in
accidents never had an ac-
cident before. What hasn't
happened in 20 years can
happen in two seconds. No
driver leads a charmed life,
says the League.
The owners obligation
All car owners bear the
legal and moral obligation to
be sure their vehicles are
maintained in a mechanically
safe condition, The Ontario
Safety League notes that this
won't eliminate all accidents
but it will reduce them. With
rough Winter,, driving giving
way to Spring, this is an
obligation no sensible driver
will shirk.
