Wingham Memorial Shop QUALITY SERVICE CRAFTSMANSHIP Open Every Weekday Your Guarantee for Over 35 Years of La Leche League of Huron County North gra- ciously accepted an invitation by the County of Bruce General Hospital to tour their new birthing room and listen to a presentation on natural childbirth and Caesarean de- livery. Myrna Inglis, Dietician, welcomed the mothers and fathers to the hospital, and introduced Marilyn ,Coffman, R.N., to speak about child- birth and bonding., The fam- ily centred maternity care program was begun five years ago to promote strong family units. Pre and post natal classes involve both mothers and fathers. Parents are encouraged to participate in a "bonding time" imme- diately after delivery. Room- ing in has met with much success. Parents are given feeding and bathing instruct- ion, and siblings are allowed to visit and hold the new baby. Dr. R.J. Creighton, M.D., discussed Caesarean section as another form of delivery, noting that the mother and father may have the baby as soon- as the mother is awake, in order to ensure bonding. The reasons for Caesaren delivery were given, such as prolonged labour, baby in distress, bleeding, and the procedure of the operation was described, with available choices made known. The birthing room pro- vides a homelike setting, giving a relaxed atmosphere, along with medical equip- ment and skill readily avail- able if necessary. Mothers who wish to .use the room must fulfill requirements for a good candidate. The mother is coached through her labour and delivery, ideally followed by a two hour bonding period. The birthing bed may move to many positions, all under the control of the labouring mother. Following delivery, mothers who are nursing, may nurse immediately and continue to demand feed throughout her stay in the hospital. The birthing room with its brass bed ce 'rtainly helps families off to a good start. Following the presenta- WMS tours Crieff at conference The Spring Conference of the Stratford Presbyterial Women's Missionary Society was held at Crieff Hills Community. This is a 250 acre community near Guelph directed by the Rev. and Mrs. Robert Spencer of the Presbyterian Church in Can- ada. Delegates gathered in the main building, which was a school house, where Mr. Spencer told the history of the community, presently used for family camps. He showed pictures of buildings used for overnight group retreats and maps of the community, and their plans for the future. After lunch two trips around the community with a tractor and wagon showed the buildings and surround- ing land. The theme was "Fellow workers in Christ". A sing song was led by Mrs. Marie Hamilton and Mrs. Margaret Howald, both of Listowel, at the piano. Mrs. H.G. Strang of Ex- eter led the short business meeting. A letter. was read from Miss Lynne Longmuir, area educational consultant, who is recovering from a car accident. The Fall Confer- ence of the Stratford Presby- terial will be held in October at C aven Church, Exeter. After the roll was called the Listowel Willing Workers had two skits. Using puppets the first one was called "Sometimes the gilded cage needs a new coat of paint". The second "Old Alumnae never die and don't fade away either." Some of the delegates gave a report on this year's Synodical held at Sarnia. Some of the reports were left until Fall Conference. Members of Listowel Will- ing Workers led in devotions. Marion Bristowe sang a beautiful solo, "He touched me". They used Roman 6.9 and from Romans 12 for their scripture. In their comments they asked if the W.M.S. was dying and answered with a definite negative. Hymns sung in closing were "Let there be Peace" and "Saviour again to Thy dear name" and Jean Peebles of Atwood closed with prayer and benediction.
