was left with a very positive' feeling."
' Board member Mervin McIntyre reported
that Teeswater and Culross councils both are
supportive of the request, but wondered if
they could split the donation, giving half this.

satisfactory.
Mr. kopas also told the board ,he had
heard unofficially that Bruce County has
promised S15,000 to the building project.
Some ' other councils have asked for more
information, but .all so far have been
supportive, he said. "We haven't had -oae

Board -members still are waiting to hear
the outcome of their request for some
$123,000 from Huron County. Mary Vair, the
county appointee to the board, said . a

members at the annual meeting, Jann 21
In spite of increased sales aadil gross
margin, interest rates remained high during
the year and there is slight loss of $7,874
said Leo Murray, president' of the Lucknow
Co-operative. This loss is down drastically
:from 1979 when the Co-operative saw a loss
of S41,690. •
Sales increased dining the past ye
ar from
$2,572,702 in 1979 to S2,797,502.

Co-ep manager • Nelson Hill told the
members in his remarks, that he hardly
dared twimagine how high short term dean
interest would rise duringthe year. He noted
that at the time of the highest interest rates
last year, the Lucknow Co-operative carried'
their highest inventory. He Observed that
tetest rates had quite an impact on the
Co-operative's operating statement for, the
year.

building, as well as construction of a small
addition onto the . front of the ; building . to
house administrative . offices:
Mr. Hayes was asked during the board
meeting last ,week how the changes would'
benefit the carious departments.: He estima-
ted the space available for physiotherapy
would increase by 50 per cent rehabilitation
by 35 ''to 40 per cent; laboratory, 100 per
cent; admitting, 200 per cent; x-ray and
medical records storage, 100 per cent,1`
.businessand administrative, 30 to 40 per.
cent. The space for the hospital auxiliary`s
gift case would expand by 300 per cent and it
would be given. its own room, he added.
He explained the reason why some areas
have such dramatic increases is they are
woefully cramped for space at present. As an
example, he saic4 the additional space for the
admitting office' should make it easier to
maintain confidentiality when taking patient
information. •.
Earlier during ,.the . ineeting there was
some discussion : by board members of the
proposed expansion of emergency and out-
patient departments a few years down the
road.
Dr. J. C. McKim declared the hospital is
initdoesn't plan to make
thosem additions within within the neat . several
years. "We might as well.. think about
closing our doors right now and becoming.
nothing more than a nursing home."
' He agreed the hospital can't hope for
more beds, but added, "I think this board
needs to realize if we don't think we're going
to get that (emergency and outpatient
expansion), we might as well forget the
whole thing." '
No one on the boardobjected to the
proposedexpansion, ansion, but some confusion
p
arose over the wording of a long-range
planning proposal, which referred to pos-
sible addition of beds some time in the
future. The board agreed to change the
wording to specify possible changes to the
intensive care unit.
It has been estimated the project would
cost more than $1.5 'million:

After several months of searching.
Wingham and District . Hospital still is
looking for two persons for its physiotherapy
department.
In his executive director's report, Norman
Hayes told the hospital board last week that
despite an extensive and .expensive' adver-
tising effort, the hospital hasn't been able to
hire a director of physiotherapy or a 'full -tine
physiotherapist.
Adveltising practically nation-wide yield-
ed only :one expression , of interest,he
reported, and that person didn't take the
job. He- said 'the hospital is ' continuing to
advertise the two .posts.
in the interim;. he reported, Mr. T.
Puvanesasingham, the physiotherapist from
the Palmerston hospital, has been hired to
work., here1?� .-time, helping hel - in out Jackie

created when Ron Khurana., the former
director of physiotherapy, moved from the
