Pagel13 Accident victims are given on-the-spot attention after two buses collided and careened into bystanders outside a cottage at the Whitby Psychiatrie Hospital. A total of 30 people were injured, some critically. WelI, not really. The real-as-life accident constituted a mock disaster at thne hospital on Th ursday afternoon, at 1: 10. The simulated crises are planned by the Operational Services Brandi of the Ontario Hospital Association, directed by George Jones. The brandi conducts these mock disasters in the hope that, when an area is confronted with'such an event, the hospital staffs, police and f ire depart- ments wilI know what steps to follow. Thursday's simulated crisis was set up by Maxine Roberts, Co-ordinator of Staff Development at the Whitby Psychiatric Hospital and chairman of its Disaster Plan Commnittee. Had the collision been authentic, the victims played bv - lent nurses, from DurhamCollege of Applied Arts and Technology and s. chaplains at the hospital, would have been whisked away to variouis hospitals in the area. Those suffering minor injuries would be taken to J.O. Ruddy Hospital; those with chest injuries to -Oshawa General Hospital, those wrth head inj uries to Toronto General Hospital and those with burns to Scarborough General Hospital. Whitby Psychiatric Hospital Administrator Milton Fisher said ""I think the disaster exercise was a success flot because it was well conducted but because it enabled us to experience the defects in the plan".

However, Lust wait ti the presiding judge ruled that the matter would not be heard until Septemnber. The Town hàs delayed issuing the permits after hear- ing the overwhelming public disapproval of the project. The majority of the opposition has been aimed at the height of the building while the remainder has taken to task the Ontario Housing Corporation's proposai to make 25 percent of the units wo nmonths available to, people on low incomes. The opposition was so fervent th at the Town brought in a solicitor, Law- rence Mandel of Rogers and Thompson, Toronto, to put forth its case. He will defend against the application for mandamus by Mr. Sorichetti before the Divisional Court of the Sûprerne Court sometime in Septeinher. Y"hHigh rise heariing delayed,, 07, a - -
