Pritchard, administrator of Huronia_ District Hospital concerning therapeutic abortions being performed al HDH. Earlier this year Blake asked Shirley Whittington, Midland council's represent- tative on the HDH board, to provide council with information on the aboard subject. In a letter addressed to Clerk Mike Owen, dated April 21, Pritchard noted, "Our fiscal year runs from April 1 to March 31 and for the past 11 months of this fiscal year we have performed 63 abortions averaging 5.7 per month. This does not include spontaneous abortions or still borns.

The plan which took a full year of development will now be presented to the Ministry of Education for perusal. Highlights of the plan presented by Com- mittee Chairman Jim Crawford include a statement of philosophy, the addition of coordinating and consultative staff. Abortions Blake distressed "For your information, we have a Therapeutic Abortion Committee which is approved by the board, and who meet to determine the validity of the abortion, and sign the necessary certificates as required under the Criminal Code of Canada." -Based on HDH's statistics Blake, Monday night during a regular town council meeting, projected that during the same period some 54,000 abortions would have been performed in hospitals across Canada "and to me that is nothing more 'than abortion on demand." He added, "'if this is so. . .then I think we should do something about it." Blake is by far Midland council's most vocal and concerned law-maker when il comes to being opposed to abortions. Garden Tilling Service Generous donation by Eileen Hocken The chairperson of the Port MeNicoll Library Board, Mrs. Cathy Hall, and "e.0 une lees representative on the board, Deputy-reeve Ted Walker, were presented with a cheque for $10,000 by Reeve John Moreau on Mon- day. This generous donation was from a private individual, Jack G. Young, a _ former resident of the village. Young's association with Port MeNicoll goes back a long way. His father was a member ofthe com- mittee that gave Port MeNicoll its name back in 1917 and the Youngs were the third family to make their home in the small community. Mr. Jack Young was so interested in books and reading that he used to bring books into the village when he worked on the boats and he would pass them around to the people. He was very conscious that Port The Canadian Soft Drink Associa- tion is committed to the highest quality control standards for all its products right across Canada. Here's just one example. It may surprise you, but the water used in soft drinks is actually purer than most drinking water. We use tap water supplied by municipal sources and filter it as many as five times. This process results in water that's purer than the water you drink. This is one of the ways we ensure that our consistently high quality is maintained right across Canada.

This donation was also presented as a memorium to a brother, Joe Young, who lost his life in a drowning ac- cident in Georgian Bay in the 1930's. Besides this con- tribution of $10,000, Mr. Young has also promised the village another $15,000, interest free, until Port McNicoll receives more money in the form of government grants for the new Library building. One of the conditions imposed by Mr. Young is that the check not be cashed until the Port MeNicoll Library Board has $5,000 on deposit in the Library Trust ac- count. The Library Board foresees no problem there as they fully expect to have this amount by the ist of May. The land alongside the Municipal offices on Fourth Avenue has been donated by the village of Port MeNicoll for the Library. Hopefully, the residents of Port MeNicoll will see thier new library finished by the fall. 'THE FACTS ABOUT SOFT DRINKS, MAKE UP YOUR OWN MIND. aks Page 14, Wednesday, April 28, 1982 Ss 2. &e ae
