Hospital to get grant Expansion plans for hos- pitals in both Port Perry and Uxbridge received a major - shot in the arm with the announcement that each will receive $200,000 in capital grants from the 'provincial government. : Durham-York MPP Ross Stevenson, who played. a Comco (Frompage1) 1978 underwent a major ex- pansion, : As recently as last fall, there were as many as 160 workers on two shifts turning out over 100 different prod- ucts, most of them for the auto. industry, significant role in securing the money for the expan- sions, confirmed late Mon- day that the grants have been approved by the Health Ministry." - An official an- nouncement to this effect - will be made later this week.

According to the pro- vincial government, the average salary for a doctor working full time in Ontario is now $80,300 (before tax, but after deducting costs for medical practise). -- NOTICE -- The Port Perry Star Office will be CLOSED GOOD FRIDAY (April 9th, 1982) Regular business hours resume on Monday, April 12th.
