SEW INTEREST NEEDED IN HOSPITAL WORK
When the new wing of the Wingham General Hospi-
tii, was added. a few years ago interest in the work of the
institution was keen throughout the community. The
thousands of dollars which were contributed for its con-
struction gave ample evidence of the importance which
the average citizen placed on' the maintenance of a mod-
: ern hospital for this town. and district. Since that time,
Taowev.er, interest has declined sharply. Perhaps it would
be mote accurate to say that awareness of the hospitals
continuing problems is not as keen as it was five years
ago. •
.For the past few years the attendance at the annual
sheeting's of the Hospital Association has been so small
that it has been difficult to secure sufficient voters to elect
• a ,board and the necessary officers, The staff of the hos-
pital, the members of the board and the members of the
Hospital Auxiliary are all giving their best to maintain an
efficient system under most trying conditions, and it is a
. marvel that everything goes so smoothly with the hospital.

CHAMBER TO REORGANIZE
-The Wingham district has been without an active
Chamber of Commerce' for almost two years. During that
tinie, however, there has been action from a small number
of the former membership, Industrial surveys have been
made. Correspondence has been attended to. Wingham
has been represented at district meetings. Membership
has been maintained in the Canitdian and Ontario Cham-
bers. .Everything, in short has been kept at a state of
readiness for the Wingham District Chamber of Com-
merce to swell its ranks among a general membership
eager to participate in the growth and strengthening of
•our community%
Now a move is underway to re-activate the Chamber
of Commerce. The time seems opportune, Our province
