The Blyth Standard, 1975-04-23, Page 1BLYTIi, ONTARIO PRiCI: 20 CENTS VOLUME 85, - NO. 17 WEDNESDAY, APRIL 23, 1975. Backyard lake Among the home hardest hit by the flooding of Friday night was Jim Laidlaws home on Morris Street. The Laldt .w basement was badly flooded and the yard was turned into a lake. The homes in the east end of the village were among those worst hit by the storm. Education budget increase G.5 mills The Huron County Board of Education approved a budget at a special meeting Monday totalling $15,7831�7�72. The new budget is an increase of $2f396,233 or 17.9 per cent over the previous years expenditures. For Blyth residents that means a 6.54 mill tax increase. The budget presented to the board by budget committee chairman Marion Zinn represents a mill rate increase of 5.95 bringing the total mill rate assessment to 47.08. In her presentation to board members Mrs. Zinn stated that the budget was a realistic appraisal of. the board's needs for the year 1975. The budget total is comprised of $7,814,356 in elementary school expendi- tures and $7,969,416 in secondary school expenditures. Provincial grants totalling $11,529,314 make up 73,05 per cent of the tal while municipality and township assessment totalling $3,554,761 will make up 22.52 per cent of the total. The remaining 4.43 per cent or 699,697 will be made up from tuitions of non -county resident students and miscellaneous revenues. in the elementary panel of the budget $4,787,164 of the expenditures are paid for labor and benefits and office supplies. Capital building expenditures transporta- tion, bus purchases, denbenture costs and other non-operating costs will total $1,399.446. The remainder of the elementary school expenditures is com- prised of books supplies, custodial maintenance costs and special transporta- tion expenses. In secondary school expenditures a total of $5,036,136 has been budgeted for salary and benefits and office supplies, Extra ordinary expenditures which include capital building projects, transportation, debenture costs and non-operating ex• penses total $1,061,663. The remainder of the secondary school expenditures is comprised of library books and supplies, cafeteria and custodial maintenance, contractual maintenance and special transportation expenses. The budget committee also made additional provisions of $22,000 in the budget for the institution of a preventative maintenance program. The program would for Blyth call for the hiring of three skilled tradesmen to service school equipment in an effort to expand the life expectancy of both buildings and equipmetit. The assessment breakdown for the five towns and six villages the county is as follows: Clinton, $157,510; Exeter, $217,115; Godcrich, $530,085; Seaforth, $97,512; and Wingham, $187,762; Bayfield $50,983; Blyth, $32,924; Brussels, $40,631; Hensall, $71,913; Zurich, $29,015. The assessment breakdown for the 16 townships is: Ashfield, $157,600; Colborne $107,006; Godcrich, $153,206; Grey, $129,282; Hay $193,219; Howick $167,650; Hullctt, $116,594; McKillop, $106,145; Morris, $97,069, Stanley, $146,873; Stephen, $246,405; Tuckersm ith, $171,597; Turnberry $77,977; Usborne, $122,988; East Wawanosh, $79,445 and W est Wawanosh $66,255. , The total county contribution to the $15 million plus education budget is $3,554,761 or 22.5 per cent of the total cost. Melting snow, rain combine to flood basements A combination of the heavy runoff from the melting of snow clumped in a late winter blizzard two weeks ago and a tremendous rain storm on Friday night made for flooded basements in many sections of the village on the weekend. 'though it was probably of little consolation to those who had swimming pools in their basement on Friday night and Saturday, the Blyth area really got off pretty lightly compared to some other centres such as Winghan) and Listowel where several feet of water covered several sections of the towns. In Blyth it was mostly a problem of storm sewers backing up because they just couldn't handle the volume of water from the conihination of snow melting and rain falling. Many basements flooded because of the chains in them which would normally taken water away from the basement. Most unfortunate were those who had renovated their basements to serve as recreation rooms. A good deal of damage was done to several of these homes. The hardest hit area was the cast side of the village. Ironically. the new storm sewer planned for the arca this year might have at least helped the situation though some village officials said privately they felt even the new drain wouldn't have been able to cope with the unusual circumstances of the storm, The greatest surface damage was on Victoria Street where the water couldn't get through the culvert fast enough so washed out the road. Town works employee James Warwick, shaking his head, said he wouldn't have believe the culvert, put in only a year ago, would not have taken the full flow of the normally tame drainage ditch. It took 50 cubic yards of gravel to repair the.dan)agc. Daylight Saving Time starts Sunday It's time to turn your clock ahead one hour. Daylight Saving Tinie will coninience in the village o11 Sunday, April 27 at 2 a.m. and will end Sunday, October 26 at 2 a.m. The change will solve a rather confusing situation from some whereby most parts of the U.S. have been on D.S.T. for several weeks while we in Ontario waited for the regular starting time for D.S.T. Meetings scheduled to organize summer theatre First moves in the planning of a community summer theatre for Blyth will be made in the next week. The venture, which would use Memorial Hall, would see a four-week program of professional summer theatre, As of press time formation of a board of directors for East Wawanosh holds quiet meeting The April meeting of East Wawanosh township council saw little startling business take place, indeed little business, period. The council approved building permits to James Coultes, Chris Cowan and Emma Franken. Council passed a motion that dogs in the township be counted and dog -owners taxed. Someone will be appointed at a later date to do the count. Road accounts of $3,955.17; general accounts of $1,542.90 were passed for payment. The council adjourned to meet again on May 6, at 8 p.m, the theatre was well underway. So far eight families interested in promoting a summer theatre in Blyth have agreed to sit on the board and others arc still to be approached. The project has been spearheaded by Janes Roy, a native of the arca who has gained professional theatrical experience in Toronto, Quebec City, Orillia and other centres, including a good deal of summer stock experience. Mr. Roy and associate Jeffrey Cohen were in Blyth on , the weekend and met with interested parties, They found the reception for the idea very encouraging with 100 per cent participation from those asked to be members of the board of directors. Naming of the board of directors will mean the theatre group will have a local base, It will provide continuity in the summer theatre so that it won't be a one season affair, it will also mean the theatre can be set up as a non-profit organization which means donations to it can be tax deductable. MEETINGS A meeting of the board of directors will be held Friday evening at 7:30 p.m. in the old library at Memorial Hall. A full-fledged community meeting will be held on Wednesday evening, April 30 iti Memorial Hall meeting rooms for anyone in the community interested in helping out the theatre or who may have questions about the project. All local organizations arc invited to send representatives, Mr. Roy stressed that the summer theatre must be a community project, not just something imposed on the community from outside, Attempts are being made, through the board of directors and the public meeting to have as n>,uch community involvement as possible. Plans call for two plays to be presented in this first season of the summer theatre. Rehearsals would begin in June and the plays would be presented several nights a week over four weeks in July. The theatre would be made up of a small core of professionals, plus two local young people employed as apprentices and, hopefully, a helping crew of interested volunteers. Helping out Amongthe hardest workers during the flooding were the Blyth fire department. Here the firemen help pump out the basement of the Bruce Smith home on Wellington Street. PG. 2. THE BLYTH STANDARD, APRIL 23, 1975. Report from Queen's Park Proposed changes in liquor regulations would mean more variety i,n beverages served BY MURRAY GAUNT, M.P.P. (HURON.BRUCE] Bars in Ontario may soon have to serve milk, coffee and soft drinks as well as alcoholic beverages. Proposed changes in the liquor regulations would require all bars, taverns and licenced clubs to offer their patrons a choice of at least milk, coffee, and soft drinks. Other charges in the regulations will include the introduction of licences for recreation clubs and a new cabaret licence. The cabaret licence would allow clubs, whose prime function is live entertainment rather than food, to sell less food than is required at present by law. Another new licence would be This 'n' That the patio licence which would licence an outdoor site adjoining existing Licenced indoor premises. More important, applicants for liquor licences in Ontario will be entitled to public hearings and for the first time, to, appeal decisions of the Liquor Licence Board of Ontario to a higher tribunal. Besides the new tribunal, the Government will also establish two permanent advisory commit- tees, one to deal specifically with problems related to special occasion permits and 81101her to deal with "over all liquor policy." Ontario wi11 spend $261.7 million on highway construction in the current fiscal year, John Rhodes, Minister of Transporta- tion and Communications told the Legislature this week. The expenditure is part of a $436.4 millions programme unveiled by Mr. Rhodes including work on 849 miles of the Pr•ovinces's highways, .]runes Brcithaupt (L -Kitchen- er) the financial critic for the Liberal Party gave his budget reply this lycek in the Legislat ure. Mr. Breithaupt criticized the Treasurer for always over estinl- asting revenues and always underestimating expenditures.

The Blyth Little Theatre was forced to cancel it's final production of the season Barefoot in the Park because there just weren't enough Male actors available, so the play won't likely be seen now until the fall season. Perhaps by then there %ill be a few more brave men. *** The Standard office was among those buildings that suffered from wet basements due to the storm, Being unoccupied our building probably suffered more than many as the flood wasn't discovered until Saturday, after the furnace motor was already a casualty. We can sympathize with others in clic community who suffered, from this "gift of nature". crease was 14.2%. In actual fact this had jumped to 20.8 per cent by the year's end, The Liberal critic 10111(1n to say that the Government's perfor- mance in the area of deficit financing was equally bad. "By March 31st, 1974 the David Government had added more than 53 billion to the Province's debt. The province's accumulated net debt had more than doubled in four years from $1.4 Million to 52.9 billion", he continued. The Province this year has estimated it will go into debt by a further $1,6 billion, Auburn W.M.S. meets The Auburn Woman's Mission- ary Society of the Presbyterian Church held their April meeting at the honk of Misses Ella, Minnie and Laura Wagner, The president, Mrs. Wilfred Sanderson was i►1 charge and welcomed all.

Bray, D.C. D. Lee, D.C. Phone 357-1224 BY BILL SMILEY Every so often I'm reminded of how very luck Canadians arc. We are not smarter than other people, Goodness knows, we are no more industrious. We are just luckier, because we happen to be living in this country at this time, When you consider that we are just a drop in the bucket of the world's population, you can sec just how blind lucky we are. Millions of people on earth today are literally starving to death. They will be dead, stone dead, in days, months, a year. Millions more are just above the starving line. They eke out a barren, blunted, hopeless exist- ence, just one step away from the animal. These hordes are subject to all the other things that go with a minimal existence, besides hunger: cold, disease, ignorance, fear, and perhaps worst of all helplessness. And we complain endlessly, we Canadians, about such horrors as Inflation, postal strikes, taxes, and all the other relatively piddling burdens we bear, We howl with outrage when butter jumps I5 cents a pound, Some of us nearly have a stroke when the price of beer and liquor is raised, The very wealthy feel a deep, inner pain because they can retain only 55 per cent of their income, But what does it all amount to? The consumption of butter will go down for a few weeks, then rise to new highs, The consumption of alcoholic beverages will not eve tremor, but go steadily upward. And the rich will become richer. Talk about fat cats, or buxom beavers, and we're it. The Lucky Canadians, The envy of the world. Oh yes, we have poor .people, quite a few of there. But you would be hard put to it to find anyone in Canada literally starv- ing to death. Or freezing to death. Or dying bccausc there is no medicine for disease. Truth is, the vast majority of Canadians cat too much, suffer from over -heating rather than cold and are much more likely to die from too much medicine than they are from disease, And even the poorest of our poor, with all the buffers that welfare provides, arc materially millionaires compared with the poor of many other countries. You, Mister, wheeling your Buick down the highway and beefing about the cost of gas, might 'just as easily be pulling a ricksha in Calcutta, wondering whether you could last until you were 30, so you could sec your first grandson. You, Young Fella, who made $10,000 in six months with,a lot of overtime, and quit working so you could draw unemployment insur- ance, could be sweating it out in a South African gold mine, or a Bolivian fin mine, for enough bucks a week to barely feed your fancily. And you, Ms., whining about the mess the hairdresser made, or complaining about the cost of cleaning women, could be selling yourself in the back streets of Nairobi to keep body and soul together, if you'll pardon the expression, But you aren't and I'm not, and we shouldn't forget it, mates, We were lucky. We live in Canada. Once in a while this hits me like a punch between the eyes. One of these times was on a recent holiday weekend. We were spending a weekend with Grandad, in the country. It was cold and blustery outside, and I spent one of those rotten -lazy, thoroughly enjoyable times when there is nothing to do and nothing to worry about: ratino and drinking, playing THE BLYTII STANDARD, APRIL 23, 1975, PC. 3, How lucky Tips offered for maple syrup fans we are cards, enjoying the fireplace, reading, watching television. 'I'hc only fly in the ointment was the constant decisions to be made, At breakfast, for example. Banana or fruit juice? Coffee or tea? Bacon. and eggs or ham and eggs? '!'oast and jam or fresh bread and honey? Evenings were even worse, An hour after dinner, i had to decide whether it was to be coffee and cake with ice cream or tea with butter tarts. Then there was the bedtime snack and more decisions. But it was watching television that blew up the puffed-up dream that life was, after all, good and gracious, cosy and comfortable, warm and wonderful. There on the "news," with nothing to hide it, was the non -Canadian world. Children with the bloated bellies and stick -thin limbs of the starving. Other children, torn and bleeding and screaming with pain, Mothers howling their anguish because they had lost their children and couldn't find them. A refugee plane, with more than 200 "soldiers" and only five women or children aboard. And everywhere, on that naked screen, people, suffering, terri- fied, running like rats, from nowhere to nowhere, Not much you and 1 can do, except feel horrified. it's all too far away. But at least we can stop bitching in our own backyard, and face the facts that we're not smarter, or harder working or better looking. Just lucky. 'The tapping of sugar (hard) maple and black maple trees is one of the first welcome signs of spring in many Ontario and Quebec Communities. During March and April, freezing night temperatures and mild 40.50 degrees F. days, determine the quality and quanti• ty of the sap which is gathered in metal buckets or by modern plastic tubing systems. In either the traditional wood fired, or the modern gas or oil heated evaporator, the sap, which is about 90 per cent water, is boiled until only the amber coloured maple syrup remain, When the staple products (staple syrup, staple butter, maple sugar candy, etc.) are ready, the maple syrup festivals that are held, draw crowds from far and wide, Maitland Valley's Rocky Rac- coon has some tips about maple syrup which may be helpful to you. For instance, the colour of the syrup is a good indicator of it's flavor, The darker the amber colour. the stronger the staple flavoring. Flavor, colour and quality of the syrup are consider- ed when it is graded as Faticy, Light. Medium or Dark. Each of these types of syrup have different properties and are usually used for different pur- poses. - Grading of syrup is not compulsory in Ontario. One of the best places to store your maple syrup for indefinite periods of time, is in the freezer, The syrup does not freeze solid, and the fresh flavor and quality are preserved. It should be taken out of the freezer about one hour before using it, and can be frozen again after use. if you store your staple syrup for only one year, keep it in tightly scaled contain- ers placed in a cool, dry area. Always lightly recap your syrup container if keeping it in the refrigerator. your maple syrup forms mold 011 the top, or develops a musty flavor, skim off as much mold as possible and bring the syrup to a boil in a large saucepan. .lust before hoilding, put in a three-quarter cup of skim milk per gallon of syrup, and then boil for two or three minutes. After straining through cheese cloth, refrigerate the syrup as 'soon as possible. Sometimes a crust or sugar crystal will form in the container. To solve this problem, add a small amount of water to the syrup and heat it gently (do not toil) until the crystals dissolve. Bucky would be happy to provide more information on maple syrup production to anyone who requests it from the Maitland Valley Conservation Authority. Help your Heart...

The provincial government last year proposed a law to make it illegal to drive without seat belts fastened, but it quickly backed down when the law brought a storm of protest from those against such an idea. Ontario Liberal Albert Roy has introduced a private member's bill calling for the same thing. Millions of dollars have been spent on systems built into cars to try to force people into doing up their seat belts but the ingenuity of drivers has always gotten around the devices. Opponents of seat belt legislation and gimicks say it is the individuals right not to wear seat belts. After all, they argue, no one is going to get hurt but the individual who decides not to wear his belt. This argument isn't true, however. All of us pay for the stupidity of the driver who won't wear seat belts. 1t has been proven seat belts help prevent death and injuries. Those unnecessary injuries are costing all of us millions a year in additional medical expenses, A suggestion came out the other day that seems to be the perfect answer to the whole problem, It was proposed that a law be passed that would mean O.H.I.P. insurance payments would not be paid to those injured in accidents when they weren't wearing their seat belts. if the anit-seat belt people want to be hurt by their own stupidity, that's their business. But let them pay the consequences, not the rest of us, Let's get on with election Some time, sooner or later this year, we're going to have a provincial election, Let's hope it's sooner. Election year is not a pleasant time for the public. We're faced with hearing harping criticism from opposition party politicians hoping to make the government look bad. We're given the old smooth talk by the government, hoping to make us forget its past misdeeds. Under such conditions we all tend to get a little cynical. Was, for instance, Premier Davis' strong stand against higher oil prices at the recent federal -provincial conference based on the realities of the situation, or simply on the knowledge that he had to appear the friend of the Ontario consumer in an election year? Was the budget designed to stimulate the lagging economy or simply buy votes? Was the Opposition's concern over the southern Ontario floods motivated by compassion for the victims or the thought there might be a chance to make the government look bad? This atmosphere of distrust is exactly what we don't need at a time when the province is in a mess. Let's have the election and get it over with so we can get back to business. They're looking after our money The people of Huron County should be grateful to the trustees of the Huron County Board of Education for being such fearless watchdogs of our purses. The Board members last week decided to close a school, the North Ashfield Public School. The school was only 10 years old. The move will mean that 40 students will have to travel farther on buses every day, but it will mean that our trustees have saved us over $2,000 a year. Let's see now, that'll cover just a bit more than the increase in wages for one school trustee who voted to double his salaray some time back. It might pay about half of the raise expected to be granted this year to senior administration officials. Just think, if we could close about a dozen more schools this year, we might be back to where we were last year 'as far as salaries go. No reward but sadness The overwhelming feeling one gets from reading about the events in Vietnam is one of sadness. A major U.S. newsmagazine last week devoted much of its issue to looking at the various sides of the question. It showed the sadness of the refugees, the most tragic aspect of all. These people don't know which side is right or wrong. They only know that they will go on running from bombs and killing until the war is finally over and that even then the killing may not end. The magazine showed the fear of those in Saigon as the Communists closed in on the cities. Those who have most to fear are those who have been most loyal to the South Vietnamese government. Suddenly, their world is upside down. What was right will soon be wrong. They cannot win in this situation and many are seeking any way they can to get out of the country before the final collapse, even arranging marriages with foreigners so they can legally get out of the country. And the magazine dealt with another side of the many-sided tragedy. It spoke with American veterans of the war, many of them invalids for life because of the injuries they received, They were disillusioned. Their futures had- been sacrificed for a cause they believed in and now the government that had sent them there seemed willing to dissassociate itself with Vietnam altogether. Some were bitter. Some now believed the U.S. should never have been involved in an internal war in the first place. All were sad reminders of the uselessness of war. Surveying the final moments of the Vietnam war one can only hope that someday, all people will see the futility of war. ,E 1,, i':fIt:cc. i' .,, t l, • 0..140! eortiq . j.;,, ?: 111 lit ,„1., t t:\ t Kip,:,,,,,.keot , ,/,•40 /4- ,,,,i ,I.,„. ,4,:., -�, -.-_-:-., •;..ii •-_,,,1 •.,,; •.:, 4 ,, .\ i,e.,, !:7„, ,;.,.,,,,,, •% • ARM RUN ONgiCePRINeQ NCR I@UOIA1103 06A4 Mg' MY • : ' • -' yoj 0 iiw`atles C . \ ct • Those were the days 5 years ago APRIL 22, 1970 Quick action by Blyth .

When the bin was cleaned out it was found the fire had eaten its way one inch into the four inch laminated walls of the bin. Damage was confined to the loss of the alfalfa.

The one thing pot did was to slake ole paranoid. Cops, little old ladies in tennis shoes, everybody scared ole to death. I was sure the whole world was out to get nlc. The unauthentic world of dope is a psychosis. My friends in the elope world were immature, irresponsible, fly-by-nights and also moochers. Atter some bitter hassles, I got off by myself and woke up 10 the fact that I had been letting the dope do my thinking. My decisions were lousy because I was fogged up and goofy, I'm off Ilse stuff now and facing my problems head-on, not waltz- ing around in a cloud of smoke, I feel alive instead of spaced -out and hall dead. I don't buy everything the straight world has to offer -- not by a long shot -- but al least I know I'm the master of my ship. Former Fool DEARW FORMER: Thanks for the Indicting.

W.O.B.A. champs The 8th Liners broomball team recently completed a very successful season by capturing the Western Ontario Broomball Association championship. Members of the team are 'front row, left to right): Bob Blake, Murray Walsh, Rick Thelan, Elgin Pease, Irwin Pease, BY KEITH ROULSTON Remember the good old days. Remember the days when the good guys always won and the bad guys got their just desserts. Those were the days when, as a character in a recent newspaper cartoon put it, the good guys wore white hats and the bad guys for black and you always knew that in the end, the good guys would win out, even though many times the bad guys seemed certain to overwhelm the righteous heros. Somewhere along the line all that seerned to disappear. Some- where along the line someone decided that the virtuous heros were rather dull characters and it was more interesting to play up the bad guys. Somehwere along the line some "realist" decided that the bad guys had at least a 50.50 chance of winning so they figured the bad guys had some catching up to do for all those years the good guys won. So now the bad guys seem to win all the time. In those old movies and books and television shows, the good guys won just often enough to help us keep the faith that if we icd a good life and worked hard, we'd triumph in the end. But now, like everything else in the mixed-up seventies, we somehow begin to doubt that age-old premise. It's not only in the entertain- ment business we see this. Take sports: Teams like the Philadel- phia Flyers have proved that it pays not only to be good, but to be sneaky, dirty and tricky as well. The top tennis players in the world right now are a smarty•alec guy named Jimmy Connors and his former fiance, 'the bad- tempered Chris Everett. The top boxer in the world is a loud -mouth, obnoxious character called Mohammed Ali, Remember when the good guys won? if this is reality, I think we're about ready for another good long dose of fantasy. This "reality" is seen throughout all of society these days as the majority of ordinary people say: "to heli with what's good and decent, I'm going to get everything I can because nobody's going to look out for me. And so we have inflation and recession at the same time, We have greed, and if we don't watch out we're going to have poverty and hunger. The greed to gouge the economy is bound to lead to higher unem- ployment as businesses cut back on the size of staffs to make up for the increased salaries they have to pay for the employees still left on the payroll. More and more I'm beginning to feel sure we face a real depression in this country, one we've brought on ourselves. And when we hit that depression I think we'll see a return to the good guys winning again. The "reality" will be' too hard to swallow and people will be. looking for the "fantasy" after all *** Speaking of sports, as we did briefly in this rambling essay, it must be the only bright spot in a dull spring for many a non -hockey fan to learn that both Toronto teams have been eliminated from the playoffs. That should mean some of the interest in the playoffs will be lessened and mean that the family television set might be turned back to normal programming. Many non -hockey fans won't be so lucky, however, as the hockey nuts of the household follow the long playoffs through to their final conclusion. It means the television set will be out of bounds for non -hockey fans for weeks to come. Anyone for a good book? West Wawanosh to purchase grader West Wawanosh township council approved the purchase of a new grader for the township at the April meeting of council held April 1. The new grader will be purchased from Dominion Road Machinery, for $60,660, the only tender received. Three members of the Mennonite community were pre- sent at the meeting to inquire about severing a piece of property to be used as a cemetery. Dave Reed of Frank Cowan insurance Company and Frank Thompson of West Wawanosh Mutal attended the meeting to discuss the township's insurance policies. Increased coverage on tools and equipment was authorized. Four tenders for gravel were received with the tender of Jennison Construction Limited, Grand Bend, for crushing and hauling 14,000 cubic yard of gravel being accepted, Murray McNichol, Ray McNichol; 'back row) Fred Meier, Arnold Pease, Charlie Johnston, Jim Blake, Bob Watkins, Jim Phelan, Jim Nesbitt, Glen McLachlan, Murray Gordon, and Wayne Pease. Absent when the picture was taken was Ken Bird, Sterilization committee under review at Wingham and District Hospital Women under 25 years of age with Tess than three children might soon have to apply for review to a sterilization commit- tee to perform a tubal ligation at the Wingham and District Hospital. Dr, .I. C. McKim told the board recently that this possibility was under consideration by the Medical Advisory Committee due to an upswing in cases of young married women requesting a reversal several years after having first requested the opera. tion. He said that more and more young women who had requested tubal ligation when they were 20 or 21 years old were now asking to have their tubes opened again. He said a sterilization committee would provide "protection for the doctor, but especially for the patient". Dr. B. A. Hanlon explained that the procedure and its reversal was "not as easy as tying and untying your shoelaces." He said that the sterilization commit- tee could be beneficial: "It's mostly good medicine." The Medical Advisory Commit- tee also proposed that the hospital board consider the possibility of retaining nurses' records on microfilm. Dr. Hanlon said this proposal might even become mandatory in the future for insurance purposes with the Belgrave personal news Mr. and Mrs. Lewis Stone- house were pleasantly surprised on Saturday evening at the home ()I' Mr. and Mrs. Charles Johnston of Blyth, when relatives gathered to honour Inem on the occasion of their. 35th wedding anniversary, Mr. and Mrs. Lyle Ansley of 'I'hessalon spent a few days with Mr. and Mrs, Clare Van Camp.
