Committee To Study Ambulance Situation WHITBY (Staff) -- An ambu- lance service for Whitby, to be! or not to be, and if so, to be operated by whom? That was the question, hotly debated by Whitby Town Council at a special meeting Thursday night. : Don May, operator-owner of the Whitby Ambulance, has de- clared his intention of leaving the ambulance business this week. He gave as his reasons: the lack of financial support, and more debts than the incoming cash could handle. SUBSIDY ASKED The ambulance situation de- veloped in the summer of 1963 when the 'Lown Brothers first de* clared their intentions of closing the business. Their ambulance was donated to the St, John Ambulance Brigade in Whitby. The town depended on outside services for several months until Oct. 1, 1963, when Donald May started his business. Mr. May operated at a loss for several months and in March, 1964, he applied to council for a subsidy of $5,000. He was refused, and several days later, he announced he would be forced to close his business. Whitby's Chamber of Com- merce stepped in and offered to see the business operate for one month. : At the end of March, after re- ceiving aid from the Chamber, Mr. May again said he was forced to close, Several days later, on April 1, town council announced that William Sherrin, an Ajax ambu- lance operator, had agreed to) service the town for $4,000. | Mr. Sherrin, provided coverage fur less than two months before| he annourced it was impossible} to operate on a $4,000 subsidy. | No contract was signed be-| New Officers Dedicated WHITBY -- The Whitby Bap- fist Church Women's Society for Uhristian Service held its Janu- ary meeting. Mrs. Ruth Maw ave the opehing prayer. Mrs. unice Beare was in charge of the devotional. Mrs. Ross Ward favored the group with a solo. | The past president, Mrs. Ken Cullen, conducted the dedication service and installation of offi- cers for 1965 as follows: tween the Town and Sherrin, and on May 14, 1964, Donald May signed a contract with the town to provide the service for a subsidy 0: $4,000. He has operated since that date, and several days ago he also told council that it was im- possible to operate for $4,000 subsidy. Mr. May is out of business, and two of his former em- ployees, Ronald Munroe and Gordon Hill, have announced their intentions to carry on with the service. The two men approached the special meeting of council last night, and answered questions put to them by the councillors. QUALIFICATIONS CITED Mr. Monroe told him he held an advanced St. John Am- bulance Certificate, and had been driving, accident-free, for 10 years. Both men agreed that they would ask for a subsidy of $5,000 to take the service. Reeve Everett Quantrill asked what they intended doing about the calls outside of the town, which amounted to about 25 per cent of the business, He told them that few of the calls made by Mr. May into the township had been paid for, and that township council did not ap- pear ready 'to subsidize them. 'We intend to charge an extra $10 or $15 to township residents requiring the service," Monroe said. "To solve the problem of non- payment of bills we will insist that township residents give us a cheque before the call is made. "If the cheque is no good then we can take them to court. "By this means, we hope the residents of the township will pressure gownship council." They told council that a call in the town costs $12 and a call from Myrtle to Oshawa now costs $18. ONE CALL PER DAY The service over the past year has averaged one call per day, and the insurance on each of the two vehicles is in excess Of $250. Councillor Tom Edwards said, "T"ll be brutally frank -- I don't think this is the arrangement I want my children protected by." The two men were told that they had not been accepted or rejected and that they would receive word from council. Council went into committee of the whole and Councillor Edwards moved that the Town Brothers be approached, and President, Mrs. Dudley Wil-|asked to re-open their service. son; vice-president, Mrs. Rita Dutley; general treasurer, Mrs.|Brooks disagreed, and suggest-| Deputy Reeve George Hilda Hewis; missionary treas-|ed that the matter go to com- urer, Mrs. corresponding secretary, Mrs.| Murray Detior; recording secre-|interjected, Harold Crawforth;|mittee for study. Bobby Attersley "Let's not throw Councillor of this town," said Councillor Edwards. "I believe that Mr. Town has proved the point that he could not operate without .a sub- sidy. "He operated the service well for years, and we should act quickly, Councillor Bevan did not agree, and suggested that coun- cil should advertise for tend- rs. Councillor Harold Slichter: "With an average of one call per day, I don't think we need an ambulance. "We can depend on the am- bulance from Ajax or Picker- ing as they are only four or five miles away and are in many cases closer than ambu- lance services provided to resi- dents of Toronto. Councillor Harry Inkpen said he had free time Friday morn- ing and would be happy to meet with various men and settle the matter quickly. SAT BACK | Tom Edwards: "I sat back last year because I felt other members of council had more experience. ° 'What happens if in the next week, while we argue, someone dies because of the lack of an! ambulance. "A lot of people, including myself, will be extremely up- set." Town Clerk John Frost told jfur Canada.

A majority of the Whitby members attended the Loosin' Lassies anniversary dinner in Oshawa, when the highest Joser was crowned Queen. Many were honored as KOPS in waiting. Following the meeting a social time was enjoyed, convened by Margaret Devolin, assisted by Winnifred Brillinger who led in a social game of calorie contest. To illustrate the importance of dieting sensibly, a demonstra- tion with two dolls was given, the fat dol} and the little doll (with a figure).
