Technicians wilt be on hand to accepE donations from 2 to 5 in, the afternoon and from 6.30 to 9 in the evening, The last clinic held here did not attract nbarly enough donors to meet even the local needs for blood, and it is hoped that a much better response will be forthcoming next Tuesday, Perhaps the general .pit.blid is not yet fully aware of the purposes for which the blood donations are used. Under the present plan the Red Cross has undertaken to supply bleed for those' who° need trans- fusions, without charge, ° This ser- vice is' frequently • of tremendous value. in cases of 'serious illness, where,' at times, as many- as e0 or 40 pints Of blood arc-needed-within a matter of a ,few dayse Before "the Red Cross assumed this responsibility a charge of tip to $25 per pint had to he assessed, and the total cost was often more than a family could pay. Now that charges have been eliminated transfusions can be prescribed in every case of need, without fear of financial burden to the patient. The entire Red Cross plan, how- ever, fails in its purpose without the ready co-operation of the gen- eral public, The Wingham General Hospital is a "blood hank" centre, from which blood bottles supposedly will 'be Supplied to other hospitals in this area as needed, During the past few months, however, there have been many occasions on which the Wingham supply was so short that the requirements of this hos- pital and the others which depend upon the bank, could not be met. Blood has been rushed here from London by police cars and other emergency methods, It is not to be assumed that be- cause the blood bank is located at Wingham and district people are expected, to maintain the flow of donations: The Red Cross is op- erating blood clinics in all major centres and sends in bottles when- ever necessary. However, unless the average of donations is main- tained there is simply not enough to meet 'the needs, Drop in at the Legion home next Tuesday afternoon or evening and do your bit for yourself and your neighbor. - - — Hydro in the Wingham area.

At the regular meeting of the hoard of directors of the Wingham General Hospital on Friday eve- ning reports were heard from three board members who had at- tended a group meeting at Clinton. These men, Roy Cousins, John V. Fischer and Barry Wenger, had Joined in discussions with repre- sentatives of other hospitals in the county for the purpose of workin g out a formula for county assistance to hospital building projects. County counell some time ago rielral the hospital boards to arrive at suggestions for an equitable me- thod of distribution of county hos- pital grants. Mr. Cousins stated that a second meeting will be held M Clinton on November 17 to fin- alize a brief which is to be pre- sented to county council on Novem- ber 24th. 'Om point in particular was ens- phesized the need for the gen- eral public to 'realize that hospitals do not in fact cannot- accumulat' tune profits tinder the hospital in- surance plan. Though it is true that daily rates are very much higher than they Were before the plan came into effect, there are no longer any separate charges to hospitalised patients for, drugs X-rays, transfusions, etc. Neither are there yearly grants for hos- pital assiStante.

At the end of each year the books are audited by the Hospital Services Commis- sion and if it is found that actual costs of operation have been less than anticipated, so that a surplus has accumulated, the hospital is billed for the difference and must remit to' the commission, Because of these circumstances no hospital has any opportunity to put away savings for the time when additions to building or equipment are needed Presen' grants from federal and provincia' governments total $4,000 per bed plus a small grant for operating rooms, labor' rooms, etc. Since ,thr provinee-wide average cost of construction and furnishing kr new hospital snace is npnroximata ly $15,000 per bed, the obvious problem lies in what methods are to be used to close the existing $11,000 per bed gap, hospital Statisties Mrs. I.
