HOSPITAL RECEIVES
WIT OF TWO POWER
SEWING MACHINES
Mr. W. A, Galbraith Again Makes Gift
On Behalf of Cornyd Currie Estate
In last week's issue it was the,Beard
of Directors who were rejoicing over
a Debt Frees Hospital. It is now the
turn of The Ladies' Auxiliary of the
Hospital to rejoice. Their work will
be easier and their hours of service
more productive because of another
generous gift from the Cornyn Currie
Estate.
Mr. Galbraith is to be congratulated'
on his care in choosing something from
which the greatest good will accrue to
the greatest number. This gift, fol-
lowing many others for various techni-
cal and useful purposes and costing
very considerable money adds to the
continuing improvement of the services
now being rendered..
n Our Hospital is now Big Business.
You will be astounded by the rapidly
growing record •of service which you
will appreciate most if you attend the
Annual Meeting and hear from the lips
of the capable Superintendent, Mrs.,
Iris Morrey, at first hand, just what
has been accomplished during 1947.
Watch for the announcement of the
Annual Meeting and plan to be there.
As little as $5.00 makes you a member
of the Hospital AssociatiOn for one
year, gives you the right to attend the
Annual Meeting, hear the reports, nom-
Mate or be nominated for the Board
of Directors, vote, and if elected be a
Director. By exercising these privil-
eges you actively engage in the man-
agement of your hospital—a publicly
owned non profit making ultra modern
institution for the care of the sick—
the envy of many communities of
greater population than ours.
However, since the Hospital Board
is anxious to supply a much needed
Nurse's Residence for a deserving nur-
sing staff, get a training school started
which is impossible without adequate
suitable recreation facilities for both it
is hoped that there will be many who
will make their choice for membership
in the Hospital Association from a six
year at $25.00, a twelve year at $50.00
or life membership "at $100.00. We
only need a few more to reach our
minimum objective of one hundred
life members before the end of the
year, Life membership automatically
includes membership in the Century
Club and the, enrolling of your name on
a life membership roll to be hung in a
place of honor in the Hospital. Many
beautiful life membership certificates
are on display in Winghain store win-
'claws. Be a life member if you are
(
able—but be a member—at least one
member front every family in our hos-
pital service area, that is another min-
imum objective. In some families all
members are enrolled! What a fine
UNSELFISH Christmas gift—mem-
bership in an organization to provide
the best possible care for the sick.
Take out your membership today by
mailing your cheque to Mr. W. H.
French, Treasurer, Wingham General
Hospital Building Fund, or if you pre-
fer, pay to your local bank. The Christ-
mas spirit becomes more real with
each unselfish act.

FATHER AND BROTHER
COMMEMORATED BY
HOSPITAL PLAQUES
Mrs. (Dr.) W. G. Collison of Lindsay,
Ont. perpetuates Names of Father
and Brother
In a most generous gift of $1000.00
to the Wingham General Hospital
Building Fund, Mrs. (Dr.) W. G. Colli-
son (nee Alba Chisholm) lias made
provision for "In Memory Plaques"
for loved ones while at the same time
using the money for the purpose for'
which father and brother spent their
lives—caring for the sick.
Dr. Thos. Chisholm's name is one
long to be remembered here for not
only was he a much beloved family
doctor but he took a keen interest in
public life and actively participated in
community progress and welfare. The
Chisholm home was one of the most
popular in the community and though
the family have not lived here for
some considerable time there are still
many who speak in the warmest terms
of their friendship with members of the
family and of the hospitatity of the
Chisholm home.
The Chisholm name is seldom men-
tioned but wliat someone speaks of the
pleasant and kindly personality of Alba,
as Mrs., Collison is best remember-
ed by her friends. The love for her
old home town which prompted her
generous action and the sentiment ex-
pressed in commemorating her father's
and brother's name here is much appre-
ciated. It is a fact that no haven for
the sick in this district would seem
complete without the inspiration "In
Memory" of a family name around
which so much service has been as-
sociated. Dr. John S. Chisholm prac-
tised here with his father before going
to Western Canada where his long
years of service in the medical profes-
sion, ended such a short time ago, ad-
ded further lustre to the family name.
