Curtain goes up at § p.m. tonight EVE is the fascinating provocative story of a woman who abruptly walks out of her suburban Montreal home and all it means to her. She takes with her little more than her hair brush and her Old Age Security cheque. Behind her, she leaves a husband waiting tor breakfast and forty years of a comfortable marriage. Why? With May Williams in the lead role, Huronia layers explore this question. Eva ponders he: past, indulges in bouts of complete inertia, then gradually builds herself a new life. Fventually, you un- derstand her motivations even if you do not agree completely with her solutions.

RESCUE UNIT Midland, county are going to combine forces Town of Midland, by bylaw this week, has entered into an agreement with the Corporation of the County of Simcoe to participate in the county's auto extrication program. Deputy Fire Chief Hal Belfry in- dicated that a new rescue vehicle was currently being prepared, by the county, for delivery to the Town of Midland. It is expeted the unit will be here by the end of the month. It was indicated this was being planned for several months although council had not made any formal decision in regard to accepting the vehicle. Deputy-Chief Belfry indicated the vehicle will be used in the first several months for the training of firefighters, many of whom are volunteers, in surrounding municipalities. As those firefighters become trained it will then become a matter of a single Midland firefighter simply delivering the unit when proceeding to a call outside of the Municipality. In the meantime, Midland firefighters will be on recall in the case of the unit being called outside of the municipality as well as within Town limits. It was noted that all surrounding municipalities, with the exception of Port McNicoll, have some basic light extrication equipment on hand but the Rescue Unit becomes necessary when a major accident occurs. The new Rescue Unit will primarily be used out of town; however, it is at the disposal of the Midland Fire Department to use within the town limits as they see fit. The capital cost and equipment costs in excess of $500, as well as in- surance and liability, will be assumed by the county. The town assumes daily operating costs, gas and oil. It was estimated that having the new County rescue unit on hand may cost the town ap- proximately $500 to $600 in operating and maintenance costs over the first year. The Unit would display the County Crest and lettering "County of Simcoe - Rescue - Midland Unit No. - " Friday, February 18, 1983, Page 3
