their fourth trophy of the year, having defeated all opposition at the Long Sault Hockey Tournament.Shawville met Finch Jrs in their first match of the day and came away with a convincing 5 0 win.1

Sault Tournament.Ft -J a.n » These impressive championships should certainly give Shawville bargaining power in their attempt to enter into Junior \u201cB\" Hockey next year.A letter has been sent to the ODHA by the Shawville Junior Committee expressing their desire to enter into Junior \u201cB\" play next year.Shawville Junior directors have also had conversations with members of the ODHA.Shawville then met the ever tough Ottawa Mustangs and it wasn't until four minutes of overtime that the Pontiacs were able to dispose of the firery Ottawa team 5 4 with Jackie Griffin getting the overtime goal.The m 11 v- m V - / In the final game of the day the \u201cA\" Championship game Shawville met Cornwall Junior Polaris, the hometown favorites.Cornwall jumped off to a fast start netting the ' U first goal with only a few minutes gone in the game.Cornwall's fast breaking style in a small rink confused the F5R \\ Shawville defence for the first couple of shifts but that was , only to last a short time.Cornwall was not able to cope V with the tremendous forechecking pressure of the Shawville forwards nor were they able to control the stick handling of |HP\" defenceman Rick Young.A meeting is to be held in early June in Ottawa for election of officers for the ODHA for the coming year.After this meeting the Shawville Junior president, Ray Young should know the chances of a Shawville entry into a Junior B league.# ( Oil 1 ?y i Teams that Shawville could be competing with are Ottawa 67's, Renfrew, Arnprior, Carleton Place and Vanier City.There is exceptional talent in the

Shawville.weU.the only number I have for Shawville is 647-2211.\u201d Which everyone here knows is the Pontiac Community Hospital, which makes the phoning of that magic 800 number just a waste of time, which might be serious in an emergency.we \u2022\t4 ' -.\tÇ i i i fï U o m O Social Service Agencies Centers.; The reception and study of these complaints will serve to help protect the right of the public to better services and will also help the institution as well as the Department of Social Affairs to improve the quality of the health and social services.The complaint must be made in writing and sent to: Agent des Plaintes, Conseil de la santé et des services sociaux, 4, rue Georges Bilodeau, Hull, Quebec, K1A0K9.Yvonne Fortier, Complaint Agent.(Editor\u2019s Note:\tThe person with the complaint was informed (by us) of the Complaints Service mentioned above and has been in correspondence with Ms Fortier.Thus far he has had no satisfaction with regard to his complaint.According to him he has not been allowed to even air his complaint to the Board responsible.The -Health and Social Services Services Regional Council\u201d (CSSSO) Article 16 section (c) is probably great but it also could be just a system of placing more distance between the power and the people.If anyone in Pontiac County sees action as a result of a complaint through these channels, please let us know.In our view just the mere address of the outfit, \"Agent de Plaintes, Conseil de la santé et des services sociaux, 4, rue Georges Bilodeau, Hull, Quebec, could be an obstacle but if anyone has a complaint written out we ll be glad to send it in for them.It's not that we want to cause trouble for the \u201cpowers\u201d but just to make things a bit easier for the \"people \u201d.) » % THE WIND mr > / r A&I April 17th was the day of the Big Wind.Several large shingles from the Printshop roof were found hurrying down King Street in Shawville and a number of panes were smashed on a loose and banging back door.Far more serious was the damage to Elson Schoek\u2019s barn which blew down, Emerson Horner\u2019s machine shed, washed out culverts on the side roads all over Bristol, the judges stand at Shawville Driving Club, half of Lee Hodgins\u2019 tin bam roof, Don New\u2019s washed out road and sections of the 7th Line, also washed out.o Sleeves third, and (not in the picture) Margaret Michaud Skip.Shawville Ladies Curling Club Shield runners up Rosemary McCredie lead, Hazel Horner second, Diane were Photo by Andai u 7 at least we all had something And lots more to talk about for a few days that nobody could do anything about.\\ The trouble with discussions of social issues is that we always have a secret feeling of guilt because we know there is something we should be doing about them.\u2022\u2022 ( Dear Editor, In the waiting room of the Pontiac Community Hospital, just to the right of the front entrance is a handsome bronze tablet bearing the inscription - DAVIS MEMORIAL RESIDENCE opened July 18th.1959 Built through the generous donation left from the residue of the estates of the late Fred A.Davis, Quyon, Que.With the Big Wind we just suffer and complain with blissful irresponsibility.4 'J.i JM ' sy Grist e and / the assistance of the Dominion and Provincial Governments The tablet and inscription, of course, refers to the former residence, remodelled and refurbished as a hospital for the chronically ill, replacing the now vacant Ade Home picture) Gwenyth Strutt third and Marjorie Grant second,\tin Bristol.It must be presumed that the tablet is placed in and right is Idena Orr presenting the prize.Photo by Andai\tthe hospital waiting room rather than in the building it refers to for the obvious reason that more people will see it in that location.As I was on the hospital board at the time Mr.Davis decided to make this generous provison in his will and as it very timely bequest a word about this public spirited man might be in order.Fred A.Davis was a son of one of the founders of the Village of Quyon and a member of one of its most prominent families.He kept a general store for a great number of years and was keenly interested in community affairs serving as mayor for many years resigning from that office in 1922.High on the list of Mr Davis' interests was the building and the progress of the Pontiac Community Hospital, although he never served on the board nor sought any office in its administration.He was acutely aware that one of the major problems in the successful operation of any hospital was securing and keeping nurses.This was a problem at Shawville due to the lack of a nurses residence close to the hospital.When Mr.Davis died in 1956, some thirty-five thousand dollars was made available in his will for the purpose of erecting a nurses residence.With the new residence a reality, it soon became easier to attract and hold nurses, many of whom came from afar to work here.It speaks well for the community and many of the young men in it that something else attracted and held those nurses, the young men themselves.Many of those nurses came from other provinces, married and remained here, thus became available to continue on staff or later to rejoin it after raising a family.One result of these happy events was that a nurses home was no longer needed.An inquiry at QPF headquarters in Campbell's Bay reveals that it is against the law to cross a railroad track at than 30 miles per hour under any circumstances.And school busses and tracks carrying inflammables are required by law to stop at least twenty Jeet before a track before proceeding across.The local detachment of police have been cracking down on offenders recently, on all scores.It can be very irritating to be stopped for some small oversight but in the long run it should result in better drivers and safer journeys for us all.W4 m \\ nurses more Warm up schedule winners at Shawville Curling Club were Indra Mahesan lead.Rita Barber skip, and (not in the and miscellaneous items was a A revolutionary system of controlling rabies by oral innovation of wildlife is in the works.When research and experimentation finally is completed by the several participating agencies, rabies vaccine will be placed with appropriate bait in the bush.Many problems have to be solved before this becomes a practicable system but remember, you read it first in THE EQUITY.The Shawville Fair Board Directors and Committee Chairmen will meet at the Agricultural Hall on Wednesday, April 23 at 8:00 that's tonight!

Now that spring is here we can expect more and more doors wanting to sell us strangers to come knocking at something.Some of them are legitimate but maintain it\u2019s always better for the customer to go to the source of suply when he wants to buy something, not wait around in the house until some salesman happens along.The buyer should always be in control of the situation; after all its his money.If you buy from strangers you deserve what you get- even if it is nothing at all.our Registration will be from 9 \u2022 10 am Cathedral at 10:00 THEN BACK TO THE Hall for the Business Meeting and Installation of Officers interesting afternoon programme willbe followed by Dinner at 6:30 with Guest Speaker, Mrs Margaret Waugh.The focus of this year\u2019s Annual is \u201cN EWS.This is my Fathers World\u201d.It presents a look at the work of the Church in the North, East, West and South through demonstrations, pictures, posters, pamphlets, slides and film.still we An ëüüp wsmm.mass neap rest in that hallowed ground would share responsiblity with the Anglican Church in general, probably the owners of the property.Whatever is decided eventually, at least Mr Milford has taken the initiative and very likely the situation will be improved now that it\u2019s in the open.And so the building made possible through the generosity and thoughtfulness of the late F.A.Davis now becomes a blessing to many of our aged and ailing citizens as the Davis Memorial Residence.L\u2019Harmonie Musicale de l\u2019Outaouais composée des étudiants en musique interpréteront des pièces d'Offenback, Strauss, Prokofieff, Gershwin, Manoz, Feldstein et Duke Ellington dans Fort Coulonge le 2 Mai au Polyvalente.S.Wyman MacKechnie THE EQUITY Page 3 Wednesday April 23, 1975 1/üTEl THE MOST IMPORTANT OCCASION IN YOUR LIFE I ».rot l Y r .\u2022 WHEN , / / L i \\ A C mm \u2022i i c t f./ \u20ac ÿ ?< * f \\y i 1 Z * r.\u2022 i % \\ \\ V ' Irl U < \\ .* ¦ Spring and Summer wedding appointments are filling up fast, If you have set your wedding dote we urge you to call for an appointment now.\u2022 \u2022 \u2022 \u2018 t > Lang described the importance of women *n history.Carol MacLachlan, Wendy Hodgins, Connie Maheral and Sharon EVA , ANDAI I v- /J § > STUDIO OF PHOTOGRAPHY Shawville, Que iSà Tel 647-5666 x MS Dvhhie White and Robert Schmidt, grade ten history students, presented their project on the hostory of Canadian money.I V EQUITY CLASSIFIEDS GET FAST RESULTS eH L A \\ > 6.4* > The cast of the \u201cDeath of Socrates'* produced hy grade 8.From left to right, front row.Carol Ann Cameron.Doug Rowat, Vaughan Fulford.Terry Lynn Hodgins.Back left to right.Janice Witt.Carol Ann Foley, Stacey Stanley, Pat Hahn, Diane Armitage, Debbie Kierstead.Dakshana Mahesan, Heather Sylvester.Alfred Beaudoin.Colin Webster.Ronny Tubman and Robbie Steeves.1 he play ' was written by Vaughan Fulford who played \"Plato and I directed by Doug Rowat who played \u201cSocrates\".It was all part of the Social Sciences Fair at Shawville last week ( PYRAMID k HOMES * ' \u2022 r row.\\ ?y / ?V : C M.H C Approved First time homeowners can qualify for $500 rebate .in business means service what we sell .Low interest
