Over two hundred households in each municipality have been ran- domly selected to participate in this major study of Durham Region health services. To date less than half the questionnaires have been returned. "We really want everyone to com- plete the questionnaire,' said Dr Richard Swain, Vice-Chairman of the Council. "It is very important that we get a good response rate to make it meaningful,' he continued. To remind those households sampled for the survey the Council has mailed reminder postcards'and --~ Bac EEE MER ees oo wa BM GL did abe. Shh ine 5. done foilow-up telephone calls. Although many households in- dicated that they had returned the questionnaire, just as many said they hadn't done it yet or that they wouldn't complete it. "We are most anxious that as many people as possible participate in the study so that the Council can give the best possible advice to the Minister of Health on the health needs in each community," said Dr. Swain. 'The Region is growing ex- tremely fast and we want to ensure that the services are here and ac- cessible,"" he continued.

At 9 a.m. crews from Courtice Auto Wreckers started the massive undertaking of hoisting the 80 tonne home of Jabez Lynde, the second oldest home in Whitby, on to the huge flatbed trailer that would transport the : tucco house north. After a short delay, waiting for Hydro crews to remove overhang- ing wires and traffic signals at the intersection, the massive 32-foot high, 38-foot wide home was under- way around 10:45 a.m. With Bob Camsell behind the wheel, Laurie McCullough guided the truck from the property and started the trek west along Highway 2. With assistance from Durham Regional Police, Whitby and Ajax Hydro and C.P. Rail, the five-hour trip was made west on Highway 2 to Audley Road, north on Audley to Taunton Road, and east along Taun- ton to the Cullen Garden site, a distance of some 15 miles. The truck faced a delay of about one hour as it had to wait for trains to pass along the C.P. tracks on Audley Road, but other than that, - there were no problems. Len Cullen, owner of property where the museum will now stand, called the move "wonderful'" for everyone concerned. It was Cullen, who last year, of- fered to house the historic building on the property of his miniature village and gardens after Whitby Historical Society members were told to move the building from its original site, which was owned by a Toronto development corporation. The property has since been sold to Monarch Construction, who intend to construct 300 homes and a shop- ping plaza on the land. The Society had originally agreed to move the home 12 years ago, but when they did not, the home was deeded over to the Town of Whitby a few months ago by Whittington Properties, the original owner. Whitby Mayor, Bob Attersley, was on hand, along with hundreds of residents to watch the move. He ex- pressed his delight that all had gone well with the move and told the Pro- file restoration of the building will start immediately. He would not comment whether or not the con- tents of the museum, claimed by the Historical Society as belonging to them, would eventually show up in the old home. The move cost the Town $37,000 plus another $15,000 for the con- struction of a foundation at Cullen' Gardens, according to Attersley. Cullen also" offered to contribute $20,000 towards the move. Crime Stoppers Chairman Joe Heaney, head of security at the Toronto Transit Commission, has been named chairman of the Toron- to and Regional Crime Stoppers pro- gram. The appointment was made at the annual meeting of the local crime fighting organization. Other members of the executive include Dion McGuire, vice- chairman; Nigel Schilling, secretary; Neil Katzman, treasurer; Laurie Denham, recor- ding secretary; and James Carnegie, fundraising chairman.
