Penetang council keeps its promise by Adrienne Graham Gardner Penetanguishene council made good its promise of $10,000 towards the cost of the new chronic care wing at Penetanguishene' General Hospital, Monday night. Mayor Ron Bellisle presented PGH Chairman of the Board, Jack Whitfield with council's cheque for $10,000 at Monday night's meeting. Council had pledged $5,000 for each of the two years of their present term towards the chronic care addition to the town's hospital. In making the contribution, Mayor Bellisle said "T'm happy to be able to present this cheque as a small share of the cost of the chronic care facility." Bellisle also expressed the hope that '"The next council will see fit to continue" with the pledge of $5,000 for each of two years. There may be an extra bonus in store for PGH if this custom continues -- municipal councils will probably be elected for three year terms begin- ning in the fall of 1982.
