The resignations, handed to County medical officer of health Dr. Margaret Braund, are effec- tive on April 20. Reason for the resignations is an unsettled dispute over sal- aries and a demand for the re- hiring of the president of the county Registered Nurses Asso- ciation ise IT WAS SMILES ail 'roun last night as long service employees of the Oshawa General Hospital chatted at the annual general meeting.

During a recent County Coun- cil session members approved the enlarging of the unit to serve all 18 municipalities in ithe county. This action takes jeffect on April 1. | Encourage Trout By Blasting A pond at the north end of the Enniskillen conservation area, to open for the public this summer, will be dynamited ne t month so it can be safely stocked with speckled trout. Central Lake Ontario Con- servation Authority last night gave final approval of the plan to make the pond at least 10 feet deep at one end and 12 feet at the other. Alex Ansell, field officer with the authority, said today that the pond, with an area of rough- ly 30 feet by 200 feet, now has a depth of four feet at one end and seven feet at the other, He said speckled trout could not survive in such a meagre depth. Mr, Ansell added that the spring-fed pond would be pump- ed dny before blasting starts either April 12 or 13, depend- ing on weather conditions, He said by increasing the depth of the pond it would pre- vent oxygen deficiency in the winter. When the pond will be open to fishermen will depend on how quickly it fills back up.
