It was a sigu of things to corne. Later ini the evening, Couincillor Edwvards - aid he felt the town should ask for assurance that the 25-bed euit at Dr. J. O. Ruddy hospital is justified, tlîat it svill not affect service and that it will ot cause massive unemployrnent. Councillor Ken Hobbs, chief of medical staff at the hospital, attempted to give Mr. Edwards that assurance. That settled, for the tirne being at least, Councillor Edwards questioned the Durhamn Region Board of Police Coinmrissioners' recommendation to close the 18 division police station on Rossland Road in Whitby to s, ve somne money. '.It is a massive oîslaught against the autonomny of this cor-nmnitv", Mr. Edwards said and he pleaded for Whitbv's representatives to regional council to fighit the proposed closing with ail the' fervor they can miuster.
