paid to staff members of Wing-
ham General 'Hospital for severd.l
years to Workers who have been
employed there for more than a

hikes for two other members of
the hoSpital staff, were approved.

of time, will' =be into effect ...at
an early date. At present the basic
rate stands at $200.. The new 'pay
schedule. fo'r ' graduate nurses is
based, on a six-month -"sliding
scale", starting at $200 a month
and moving up every • six, months
by $10.00, with the maximum being
reached after 18 Months, when the
rate of pay will be $230. ... ' ..
H. C. MacLean, chairman of the
board, said that, the `.'cigar-box"
system for money, in use by the
office 'at the hospital, was not good
enough and he suggested to- the
board mer,nbets that a cash regi-
ster should be installed which
would enable a, more. accurate
cheek on cash sales and aecounta,
At present, he oxplaPeCit a reeord
