Sick Children's Hospital asa Mr. Howard R. Taylor public relations officer for the Cleveland Clinic said in'a telephone interview. on December 29, that - Mr. Spear's condition is "satisfactory," and he has "been 'resting well." The operation was performed by : Dr. K. L. Popowniak. Mr. Taylor said that the Cleveland Clinic developed . the dialysis machine used for treating persons with "ar- "tifical kidneys. The clinic has' also pioneered: the development of a profusion machine which can keep a kidney from a donor alive and functioning. for up to 48 «hours, by simulating normal "body conditions. The clinic, said Mr. Taylor, has no trouble fin- ding kidney recipients, ds there is at present a .con- siderable list of persons waiting for transplant operations. Mr. Taylor said «the. problem is matching as close as possible the tissue from a donor's kidney with tissue from a possible kidney recipient. ~~ John Spears, who received .the young boy's. kidney had been receiving dialysis treatment for nearly two "years,. and was receiving . treatment at the Cleveland -Clinic when the kidney was flown from Toronto.

Volume 106 - Port Perry, Ontario, Wednesday, Jonyary 5, 1972 - No. ll Cold, hard economics have forced changes in the basic .-design..of the wash and change room buildings ---- planned for Palmer Park and Birdseye Centre. Mr. H.J. Christian of the Department of Energy and - Resources has studied the plans and recommends "changes be made to cut the initial. expense, to cut maintenance costs, and to minimize the possibility of .~ vandalism, The original building design called for a shingled roof sloping to within four feet of the ground. Mr. Christian .feels that the shingled roof so close to: ground level would en- courage vandals to rip the shingles off. He also recommends that the buildings be constructed of concrete, and again, so as not to encourage vandalism, the buildings should be windowless. After looking at "the sewer pumphouse, Mr. _ Christian felt that something similar could be used for the washroom facilities, Since part of the cost for the new buildings is to be covered by a grant from the provincial government subject to approval by the Energy and Resources lH Hospital Report For week ending Dec, 30 Admissions... 25 Births Deaths .....

Pai SRE SR . government recommendations will be followed, Mr. Ted Griffen, who was responsible in part for the original building design says he is sorry that the changes have to be made, "I feel personally," he said, "that if something looks good, and is properly maintained, vandalism would not be a great problem." He went on to say that the looks at facilities such as these strictly from a utility point of view, and not whether they 'are attractive and pleasing to look at. Government recommendations Ee x planned design of park buildings Department; Mr. Christian's Mr. Griffen said the changes will not affect the basic floor plan, nor will they affect the timing of the construction, which if all necessary approvals are met, may be started as early as February 1. While making ' the recommendations, Mr. Christian said Port Perry might -consider looking at similar facilities in Cobourg. Following - this advice, Mr. Griffen, and Councillors Howard Hall and Gerald Jackman will go to Coburg in the near future to look at the buildings there. Parking meter removal discussed by Council The possibility of getting rid of the parking meters in was the. Port Perry discussed at the regular meeting. of Council, December 28. Council generally agreed that since the meters are not producing the revenue it was _hoped they. would. produce, steps towards getting rid of them should be looked into." However, there could be some difficulty in doing this. as the Village has a contract agreement with the com- pany that supplies the meters whereby half of the ~revenue realized -over -the- first three years would go to the company as payment for the meters, and after three - years all revenye from the meters would go to the -.company until complete - payment has been made. For the first three years, the Village would retain half of the revenue from the meters. The Village has about eighty meters in operation, 'and the cost for these is around $6,000, which is to be paid with money from the meters. Council's wish to get - rid of the meters.if possible stems from the fact that the meters are going to take a long time to pay for them-- selves. And alin; the Village is considering plans for a parking lot behind the post office. A deserted Queen Street greets the New Year.
