Mid 1991 date for work completion at Memorial 35c. a copy Rotary Exchange student ready for home hopes to return to Canada, and to be able once again, to enjoy the overail relaxed and tolerant attitude of Canadians. The annual meeting of Memorial Hospital, Bowmanville, was told recently that full completion of the work at the hospital is not now ex- pected until well into 1991. It had been thought that it could be completed this year,.according to the chairman of the board, Gordon H. Willis. Willis told his audience that the lower level and main floor of the new east wing was now occupied. As welli the main floor of the 1950 wing is virtually completed. Strikes and delays has slowed work on the two patient floors as has a study of the former use of asbestos and just how to deal with the problem. Willis also stated that due to ap- proval and funding from the pro- vince an additional accommodation has been provided in the east wing for 14 patients. Approvals have also been obtain- ed for renovation of the emergency department and these will be incor- porated in the work of the south wing of the hospital. The new heliport will be opera- tional as soon as lighting is install- ed. The chairman spoke of strides be- ing taken between the seven regional area hospitals. Monthly meetings are being held on numerous issues affecting all seven facilities. He said the rationalizing of services throughout the region is a requirement for assured funding.

Now, eleven months later, and a few days after his 17th birthday, Steffen is preparing for the climac of his year in Canada, a month long sojourn through Western Canada, before returning to his home. A visit with Sterien at tne Climenhage family home on Happeni lm0 in- o Leskard Road last week, found him about to share in a Canadian tradi- tion, a barbecue supper. Never- theless, Steffen found time to say how much he had enjoyed his stay in Canada, and how he would always remember, the December cold of Sudbury, the wonder of Niagara Falls, and his look at historical Canada, during a visit to Ottawa and Kingston. Steffen considered his school year, at Bowmanville High School a "fun year", as he was able to choose his own subjects to study, this, he relished as a once-in-a- lifetime opportunity. Lasting memories of Canada, for Steffen, were, the big cars, widè roads, and the way students of his age all appear to have jobs, when not in school. Once home, and his studies completed, Steffen said he g s Clarke teacher, students to appear in outdoor theatre ORONO TOWN HALL EUCHRE RESULTS The winners of the Orono Town Hall final card party of the season were: Clara Meuleman and Dora MacDonald tied with 85; Helen Couroux with 84; Ray Staples and Alf Piggott tied with 75.
