2 -- PORT PERRY STAR -- Wed., December 9, 1981 Drivers beware! (From page 1) But from his experience as a police officer and breath tester, he says in some cases the real menace on the road may be the driver who has only had a few drinks. "The person with a fairly low reading (but over .08) is probably feeling pretty good and thinks he is capable of driving a car when really he is not," he said. If you know you are going to be driving, the best advice of course is not to drink any alcohol. For the average person, it © ECONOMY (COMPACT .

And if a person has con- sumed enough to register .09 on the test, it will generally take about six hours for the body to get of all the alcoho) in the bloodstream. Aside from the fact that getting nailed on the breath test almost certainly will mean loss of licence and a heavy fine, the driver will have to take a cab or call a ANEW PONTIAC © LOWRATES © LONG TERM LEASING © TRUCK RENTALS PHIL RP PONTIAC BUICK LIMITED 10VANEDWARO DRIVE, PORT PERRY - 985-8474 OPEN: Weekdaysto9P M..Fridaysto6 P.M.

In the course of his work, Constable Curtis has seen people at all levels of intox: ication, and he has also seen the grim sights on the roads and highways. He doesn't have much sympathy for drinking drivers and he's heard all the excuses.

Mr. Brown expressed fears that the Health Min- istry may not maintain adequate levels of funding since hospitals will be allow- ed to generate their own additional revenues. Hospitals across Ontario currently have an accumu- lated deficit of about $100 million, and Mr. Brown said Port Perry Hospital has a projected deficit for the fiscal year 1981-82 of about $110,000 on a total budget of $2.1 million. "The cost of things beyond our control is continuing to go up and getting out of hand," he said. cent. Some of the other revenue generating ventures that hospitals could use are increases for cafeteria ser- vices or parking fees. However, Mr. Brown said that in a small hospital, increased cafeteria charges would not generate a lot of money and setting up a system for charging parking fees would be costly in re- lation to any increased fl revenues and would likely meet with strong resistance from the general public. Despite the problems, Mr. Brown said over the short term the financial picture may improve as the ministry of health has indicated there will be help for the current operating deficits this year.
