RED CROSS CLINIC
IS SET FOR TUESDAY
Under the sponsorship of the
Wingham Legion Branch 180, a Red
Cross Blood Donor Clinic will be
held at the Legion Home next
Tuesday Nov. 22nd. 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.

EXAMINATION CENTRE
OPENED AT CLINTON
Ceremonies were conducted at
10 o'clock yesterday morning in the
Clinton town hall to officially,
mark the opening of the new driv-
er examination centre which will
serve this area. The office is lo-
cated in the Credit Union Building,
70 Ontario Street, Clinton,
Senior officer is M. 3. Holmes
and in addition travelling examin-
ers will visit Exeter and Wing-
`ham one day each week. Reviews
of drivers who have amassed nine
points under the demerit system
will also be conducted at the Clin-
ton office,
The new system replaces the use
of local examiners, in each com-
munity, which has been the method
for many years, The Department
of Transport is responsible for this
service.
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.
Hospital operations in some
months will show book profit
CHRISTMAS SHOPPER
APPEAR •S NEXT WEEK
The Advance-Times would re-
mind all merchants and business
people in the town and surrounding
district that next weeks' issue will
carry the annual -Christmas Shop-
ping, advertisements. The issue ap-
pears in conjunction with the visit
of Santa Claus to town on Satur-
day- afternoon, November 26th.
Those who wish to place sales
messages in the paper next week,
and have not already ordered,
would be well advised to phone the
Advanee-Tiines today. Copy for all
advertisements should be in this
office' well befoie the end of this
week in order to be sure of pub-
lication. The. staff is required to
handle a heavy volume of adver-
tising• and must have enough time
for its proper preparation.
a few thousand dollar's, which is
frequently offset the following
month by a deficit. 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. R. Idorrey, hospital ad-
Minietratrix, reported to the meet-
ing that there were 22 births for
the month 'of October; 89 opera-
tions; 142 outpatients; 33 blood
transfusions; 1212 laboratory pro-
cedures; 13 at cancer clinic; 10
Red Cross blood bottles; .3,501 hos-
pital days with a daily overage of

A. D. MaaVViiliam, chairman of
the fin-ante committee, gave his re-
port for the month 'of October,
and also presented a break-down
of all hospital costs for the year
1959 and 1960. These were com-
pare° with the provincial average
costs which were recently releas-
ed by the Ontario Hospital Ser-
vices Commission, and it was found
that the costs for the Wingham
operation were slightly tower than
vvrage.

It is expected that the windows

He Men reported that the Dell
Telephone Company will install a
signal system 'le the third floor
annex at a cost of $80.00. Plans
are being made at the moment for
the replacement of the furniture
in several rooms next year.
Following discussions with the
Hospital Services Commission it
Was decided to Increase the differ-
ential rate on semi-private and pri-
vate rooms to $3.00 and $5.00 pet
day, The move was opposed -by
some members of the board, but
when It was pointed out that the
only alternative would be to de-
crease the number of ward beds
available and designate Mere beds
as semi-private, the motion for
the rate increase was carried,,
